Mark Wahlberg’s Latest Production ‘The Roman’ is Ramping Up

Date:

Mark Wahlberg and partner Stephen Levinson, have signed on to produce the Julius Caesar saga The Roman.

Deadline recently reported on the upcoming Julius Caesar production:

It’s an origin story in the vein of Batman Begins that envisions the future dictator as a young general in the Roman army in a rarely discussed period of his life. Kidnapped by Cilician pirates and enslaved on their prison island, Caesar escapes with his men, and the decisions he makes during this time directly affect the political and social upheaval happening in Rome. As Plutarch tells it, Caesar maintained such an air of superiority during his imprisonment that he demanded his captors more than double the ransom they had placed on his life; after he escaped, he made his way back and brutally crucified the perpetrators as he’d vowed he would. Upon his return to Rome, Caesar powered into politics on his way toward ruling the empire.

Travis Baker and Richard Tanne, the writers of Cinema Cool wrote the script, which After Dark Films and Lionsgate picked up for a 2014 release date.

Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson will look to attach a director for the upcoming project before selling the production to to studios. But, it may be a couple of months since, Mark Wahlberg is currently working on the remake of The Gambler, directed by Ruper Wyatt.
