When’s the Hulagu Khan movie coming out? He sacked Baghdad and wasted the Assassin’s Cult which was holed up in the mountains

Hulagu was G’s grandson

Supposedly “Mongol” is part of a trilogy about Chinnghis. I would assume the second covers the Naiman [ I could be wrong], Hsia-Hsia and the Chin of northern China. The third would probably be the destruction of Khwaresm, the first Muzzies the Mongols took out.

As for Hulegu, who knows? You have the first Muzzie terrorists [the Assassins], the first visit to Bagdhad by Mongols [they have some troops there now - with us], and the first splits in the Mongol Empire [the Muslim Berke, brother of Batu, and Khan of the Golden Horde vs. Hulegu], and Arik Boka vs. Kubilai for supreme rule [both were Hulrgu’s, as well as Mongke Kha Khan's brothers]. It would make a hell of a flick.

But not as good as Sabotai’s conquest of Russia, and invasion of Eastern Europe in 1241-1242 against a divided West [sound familiar?]. THAT was the greatest campaign in military history. But then again, Sabotai is history's greatest general.
