Cool stuff here.

Big difference here...Mr. Gibson is NOT directing, he's producing, which means he's coming up with the cash. It's the director who sets up the scenes and shots, and tells the actors what to do.

Nonetheless, it should be a fascinating story. Gibson seems to love historical epics.

[what's up]

I hope this is better than "The Singing Detective", a film Icon Production recently produced with Robert Downey.

Couldn't even get thru that one...trash.

I'd often wondered why it hadn't been made into a feature film yet, given the rash of old historical epics, and the bonus it can be a "female empowerment" story (I'm terrified of someone like Julia Roberts or Nicole Kidman getting cast as Boudicca.)

PBS had a short miniseries on Boudicca with the English doctor from "ER" in the starring role, it was pretty good, she was good at screaming and lopping of the heads of Romans with swords, which is what you really want from Boudicca.

Sounds like a female William Wallace to me.

"The Scotsman newspaper reports that the film will be like "Bravehart - with a bra."

Make that Half a Bra..those warrier lassies used to cut off a breast so could wield a sword better.......

Can we get Hanoi Jane or Garrifolio (sp) or some other leftie lady (sic) to audition for this part....?

Maybe this will shut up some of his critics who call Gibson anti-british.

[sharktrager]

Strange given Mel's historic dislike of the Brits.
