well with a good script, not a mediocr one, it could be a good movie. I would prefer if Robert harris supervises the creation of that script. Than again, if this is going to be released in theaters, there is a big possibility that the studio's wil interfer and go with a less intelligent, simple, easy accesible movie. In other words, your typical blockbuster movie with little or no substance. Look at Alexander by Oliver Stone.
One can still hope that they do it right. There has been plenty of crappy "historical" movies produced over the last couple of decades: Arena, Amazons and Gladiators to name a few, but than again a few stand out like I, Claudius, Rome, Gladiator. I would even include 300 in here since it is semi-historical and unlike others is honest about what it is trying to do.
