Vin diesel will be Hannibal

[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.

[Beirut]

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.

[nokhor]

i can just imagine the scene before the battle of zama when scipio [billy zane] tells vin.

"hanny, it was 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...
