I am – Hercules!!
Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus may still live, with HBO’s “Rome” getting closer to a big-screen treatment that would pick up in Germany four years after we saw Pullo and the boy he sired via Cleopatra wandering down the streets of the titular city-state, according to Entertainment Weekly.
“Rome” creator/showrunner Bruno Heller, who went on to create and run the CBS hit “The Mentalist,” has completed a movie script for Morning Light Productions, which is now on the hunt for a studio and director.
For my money “Rome” was up there with “The Wire” and “The Sopranos” as one of HBO’s best original series ever and the best thing I’ve seen out of the BBC (which co-produced) in decades.
To anticipate the question, Heller has long contended that, despite what we saw in the final episode, Vorenus survived the series and will be a major component of any sequel.
