Denzel Washington as Hannibal makes as much sense as Michael Caine as Cetswayo.

Re: Hannibal...
He was of typical Southern European look, kinda like a sicilian but not as Italianesque, if you know what i mean.

Re: Hannibal...
Hmm... the generals all look really kind of annoying. I think that CA doesn't like us long haired people... as the only units with any real hair at all (past ears), were so called barbarians. Guess most of the units will be bald...

Re: Hannibal...
Ugh...
Both are bad casting IMO.
While Denzel Washington is one of the best actors in Hollywood, the Hannibal of history was of Phoenician ancestry. He mostly would have looked more like an Arab or Jew than a sub-Saharan African. Ancient coins back up that view.
Vin Deisel may look more like Hannibal, but he's not a good actor. Is the movie he's slated to star in more of a cheesy unhistoric action movie along the lines of Scorpion King?
Too bad Omar Sharif is an old fart now. Can we go back in time and get the young Omar to play Hannibal?
