The Ass-Kicking Adventures of Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus to (Possibly) Continue!

HBO's Rome was inarguably one of the most awesome television series of all time.

Tragically, the series was only allowed to run for two seasons, but according to THIS article from Entertainment Weekly, the adventures of Pullo and Vorenus may have a chance to continue on the big screen.

The series concluded with the rise of Cesar Augustus, and the dawning of the Golden Age of Rome, as well as with ::Spoiler:: the apparent death of one of the lead characters. However, according to the article above, both Pullo and Vorenus will be prominently featured in the film, when and if it ever gets made.

I'm extremely excited about the possibility of seeing this movie for two reasons:

First, these are two of the most badass characters ever created, and the idea of watching them kick all kinds of ass in Germany, which is where the article suggests the story will take place, has me giddy.

Secondly, If this film gets made, then it gives me hope that someday HBO and Daniel Knauf can straighten out their issues over ownership of Carnivale, and we can finally see that series resurrected as well...

5 / 5 on the Anticipation Meter
