Immigrants in Ancient Rome
I don't remember hearing about this one before... Automatically translated from this article: In turn, the director of "The last temptation of Christ" announced "that might in a year to make a film about the transition from the old era to the Christian religions in Rome." The film, as Scorsese, focus on "immigrants under Roman power" and affect the social aspect, "especially immigrants and women," and "would reference the works of Virgil and the Greek poet Horace and immigrant in Rome ".

Thank you, Will. This made me think of that other ancient project of his. From the September 28, 1992 edition of Time magazine: His agenda at the moment is typical. This winter Martin Scorsese's new film on the Byzantine Empress Theodora, for which Vidal has written the screenplay, goes into production.

A Gore Vidal screenplay... I wonder if he still has the rights to make it. I remember around Aviator time, he still had Justinian and Theodora in his mind. If he ever got around to making a film about a Roman emperor, I'd rather it'd be about Constantine and Helena.
