“Enough is good. More is better. Too much is perfect.” Peacock has unveiled the second official for an epic Roman Empire series Those About To Die, a riff on the classic Roman phrase “Hail, Emperor, those who are about to die salute you” or “Ave Imperator, morituri te salutant.” It’ll be streaming on Peacock starting in a few more weeks. The series chronicles the world of gladiators in Ancient Rome. It may not be connected to Ridley Scott’s Gladiator movie, or its upcoming sequel Gladiator 2 due out later this year (huzzah!), but it’s definitely something they want you to feel is connected. Some of the episodes are directed by Roland Emmerich and it was shot at the Cinecittà studio in Rome. Anthony Hopkins stars as the Roman Emperor Vespasian, with a massive cast: Dimitri Leonidas as Scorpus, Jojo Macari, Gabriella Pession, Iwan Rheon, Sara Martins-Court, Moe Hashim, David Wurawa, Tom Hughes, Lara Wolf, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Rupert Penry-Jones, and Angeliqa Devi. We featured the teaser trailer and other official trailer for this before, and it does look properly epic – though I hope it won’t be skimpy on the action. So far this footage continues to look solid – I’ll check out the first few episodes when it arrives soon. // Continue Reading ›
