ADRIEN BRODY IS 'EMPEROR'
CHARLES V IN NEW EPIC DRAMA
We shall start the day with two news from the historical genre: Adrien Brody will star in Lee Tamahori's (ONCE WERE WARRIORS) new historical drama EMPEROR! As 'Deadline' reports from Cannes, Brody will play the brilliant strategist Emperor Charles V, trying to hold together a fragmented Empire, in a 16th century world of wealth, debauchery, violent retaliations, sex, manipulation and treason.DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON
Charles V was a Holy Roman Emperor and also the king of Spain. He was also the heir of three of Europe's leading dynasties (he was famous for having enlarged lower jaw - a result of long history of inbreeding in his royal family) and his domain reached even into Americas where Spain conquered the Aztecs and Incas! Even though he ruled half of the world, he was mostly a peaceful man and even the end of his rule was peaceful since he voluntary abdicated and went to a monastery seeking retirement after three decades of complex rule!
