I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but Mel Gibson is slated to produce a movie about Boudicca called "Warrior" for release in 2006. Given the horrendous inaccuracies in Braveheart, any bets on how off-the-mark this one is going to be? Certainly she will have a sympathetic introduction given the harshness of the events which sparked the rebellion and her initial defeat of the 9th Legion. However, will they gloss over her massacre of the Roman and non-allied civilians? Will they show her burning Londinium to the ground? Will they really show the absolute slaughter her forces suffered during the battle with the 14th and 12th Legions and her resulting suicide?
Could be interesting if done in an objective and historical manner, but I highly doubt that will occur. Yet another Evil Roman Empire movie I suspect.
