It appears it's release will be announced this year.

Maybe I should save you the time of clicking the link with a few quotes


but that may just be speculation due to Scott's direction of Gladiator, which was another historical epic


And.....


When his father is killed by the Romans, Hannibal (Diesel),


Hanibals father committed suicide by jumping in a river, he was in an assault when his ally turned on him.

Anyways I wonder if Vin Diesel will grow a beard for this.

Bet we'll see elephants, no oliphants, at the battle of Cannae.

This is gonna suck. I've been following this movie's progress for a while now and I'll doubt it'll be anywhere near reality. It's gonna be like Gladiator. Pfft, odn't even bother.

[Navaros]

why didn't they just cast Anthony Hopkins, as usual?

[The Stranger]

gladiator was good, not real but good. Alexander was real, but bad. so i prefer not real, good historical movies. can everyone still follow me.

Wasn't Hannibal black? Or at least many shades darker than pink given he was from Carthage?

And who's playing Scipio, the guy who whomped on Hannibal and sent him home to momma after stealing his lunch money?

[ShadesPanther]

No, Hanibal was not black, He was Carthaginan which is also Phenician ie he looked similar to an Arab or a Jew or at most like this

Anyway Vin diesel will also direct it and he said he can get the budget down to $50m

[Beirut]

I hear the elepahnts will work for peanuts.

[Byzantine Prince]

LMAO! Good one man, lol.

i can just imagine the scene before the battle of zama when scipio tells vin.

"hanny, it was [B]I who lured your father into the ambush by the river where he died"

then vin diesel goes "nooooooooooooooooooooooo"
then Rammstein music comes on, and vin singlehandedly kills 3000 romans while getting to scipio who he also kills and then the 3 billion other romans finish vin off.

and the question should not be 'was hannibal black' but rather 'how chinese was scipio really?'

Will this be in slow motion, like all those J-C vanDamme movies? You know, the last fight, vanDamme puts everything into a last battlecry and kicks the bad guy in the head. Three or four angles in slow motion, with the stupid scream going on and on and on... :dizzy2:

When his father is killed by the Romans, Hannibal (Diesel),

A little known scene at Zama:

Hannibal: "You stinking Romans killed my father"

Scipio: "No" (pause) " Hannibal" (pause) "I AM your father...."

[Byzantine Prince]

I... Killed... Moufasa!!!

Mooouuurddddeeerrrrr!

[The Stranger]

and after that Maharbal comes and says Hannibal knew how to kill 3001 Romans but not how to run for 3 billion mad Romans

that was freaking brilliant. i spilled out what i was drinking when i read that.

[lancelot]

As long as he doesnt skate on a shield or do anything else even remotely "extreme" it might be ok...

Awwww, who am I kidding, this is gonna stink

[The Stranger]

hahahaha i thought his other movie was great so great i can't even remember the name

[The Stranger]

I... Killed... Moufasa!!!


NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mooouuurddddeeerrrrr!

i still feel sorry for the poor little man ehh lion.

BTW it's pretty greedy from Vin to play the main character, i feel soorry for laughing at him twice for playing and directing a bad movie
