Probably inspired by the enormous success of Starz TV show,
GK Films is going to make a
SPARTACUS live action epic movie.
Michael Gordon, who penned famous 300, will write a script which will be based on real historical facts and will follow
SPARTACUS as the leader of 70,000 warriors and 50,000 freed slaves as they fought against the Roman empire between 73 and 71 B.C. Of course if they get the financing and move on with this epic project, we shall probably enjoy following the casting process and the search for the male star who will take this lucrative epic role.

GAME OF THRONES continues with the fresh
casting for the second season, and the latest casting additions are lovely
Carice van Houten and
Stephen Dillane. Dillane will play Stannis Baratheon, brother of the late King Robert, who is vying for the throne. Carice will on the other hand, play Melisandre, a powerful sorceress who advises him in his quest for power. She is described as a powerful woman and a seductive force possessing prophetic powers who is willing to impose her religion on the world by any means necessary.
