actually, iam a huge fan of this idea!
ReplyDeleteA mix between Starz's Spartacus and HBOs GoT - this sounds delicious to me!
Did I miss something? I'm rereading as I type, but which channel would air it were it to happen? Is it that it's an idea in its infancy and therefore no one has bid on it or has rights to it? Perhaps it should be a Netflix original . . . . That way I don't have to get cable! :p
ReplyDeleteoh dear god not another movie turned tv series, y cant we just leave well enough alone?
ReplyDeleteThis...could be good.
ReplyDeleteJust no, Braveheart was a bullshit movie do we really need a TV series as well? Gah
ReplyDeleteYuck, another remake.
ReplyDeleteI have nothing against the story of Wallace who was a great Scottish hero, but I can't understand putting all this effort, time and money into prequels, copying old repectable shows and rehashing films as tv series.
Come on writers, think up some good, fascinating original stuff.
What about a new space-bound series. I really miss "going where no man has gone before!"
STV Productions... @darkUFO , when did SpoilerTV start producing tv shows? :) :P
ReplyDeleteHa, it's all part of my cunning plan to take over the entertainment world :)
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it's a tad more truthful to history this time round, the film completely rewrote what actually happened :s
ReplyDeleteReally?Do we need another remake,shit its going to be nothing but comedy's and remakes next season,ugh!
ReplyDeletei knew it!
ReplyDeleteI see no problem with this.... seeing as this is a historical figure a retelling of his story is more than expected. Especially if it is well done.
ReplyDeleteEven though the poosible thought to make this like Spartacus sounds cool,k I'm in the camp that the movie was so well done that it doesn't need a small screen treatment, imho
ReplyDeleteLOL exactly. This show will probably be so different just because it's more historically accurate.
ReplyDeleteThe film was so grossly inaccurate that I'm glad that it's being redone XD
ReplyDeleteInteresting...
