The three epics will be based on British author Conn Iggulden’s series of five novels about the rise and fall of the Roman leader
A big-budget trilogy of epic films about the rise and ultimate fall of Julius Caesar, from the studio behind The Hunger Games, is heading to multiplexes, reports Deadline.
Lionsgate, which also oversaw the final two movies in the blockbuster Twilight saga, has optioned Conn Iggulden’s Emperor series of novels with the initial aim of making three films. Also titled Emperor, the planned triptych will detail Caesar’s childhood friendship with Marcus Brutus, the pair’s rise to power, and the Roman leader’s final betrayal on the floor of the senate at the hands of his lifelong comrade.
