I hope that someday Mel tackles the story, of Hernan Cortez and the conquest of the Aztec empire.

**I hope that someday Mel tackles the story, of Hernan Cortez and the conquest of the Aztec empire.*****

40 years ago Warner Bros' prepared to make a film of Lew Wallace's(BEN HUR) other novel THE FAIR GOD that dealt with that theme. They reprinted the book but the movie was never produced.

I'd prefer to see that. The PC police would go nuts. There doesn't seem to be any overriding moral to this story that I can see (Romans bad, Celtics good?), which is disappointing.

The most amazing story of conquest there ever was.
