War Gods & Rome Sweet Rome

The concept of a US military unit going back in time and facing off against a Roman emperor and his legions is absolutely fascinating. Kudos to Prufrock for selling his pitch. But...

The first draft of a screenplay now called “War Gods” was copyrighted more than ten years ago, before Gladiator kicked off Hollywood’s ancient-battles trend.

When the Rome Sweet Rome pitch sold, the already-completed War Gods script was in revisions. War Gods rolls out heavy weapons that seem to have been intentionally left out of RSR, and the journey through time is no accident.

War Gods is currently making the rounds in Hollywood, and it now seems possible there will be not one but two Rome-vs-US movies in development. How cool is that?
