'THE ROMAN' EPIC DRAMA 

JULIUS CAESAR ORIGIN STORY

Deadline reports that the long awaited historical drama THE ROMAN is moving on with the preproduction after getting Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson for producers. The film will follow Julius Caesar's rise from a young general in the Roman army to the dictator of the area. It will depict a time in the ruler's life when he fell victim to a kidnapping by Cilician pirates and was enslaved on their prison island. Caesar finds a way to escape with his crew and crucifies the perpetrators that took him for ransom (he himself demanded arrogantly from them to double the ransom they asked for his release). After returning to Rome, he thrusts himself into the political spectrum and accelerates his rise to power. There were several attempts in recent years to make a film about Caesar and there were even talks that the Roman ruler could get his spinoff series from SPARTACUS epic show.

 HOBBIT DESOLATION OF SMAUG

But your main Halloween candy for today comes in the form of some sweet new posters from this year's biggest epic adventure THE HOBBIT THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG. New posters bring us a new look on Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Bard Bowman (Luke Evans), Tranduil (Lee Pace), Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly), and of the dwarves Killi (Aidan Turner), Nilli and Thorin (Richard Armitage)!  THE HOBBIT THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG continues the adventure of the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, on an epic quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Having survived the beginning of their unexpected journey, the Company continues East, encountering along the way the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous forest of Mirkwood. After escaping capture by the dangerous Wood-elves, the Dwarves journey to Lake-town, and finally to the Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger of all — a creature more terrifying than any other; one which will test not only the depth of their courage but the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey itself — the Dragon Smaug. The adventure begins in cinemas December 13th!You cann see more character posters over at HOLLYWOOD SPY FACEBOOK PAGE!
