I have read a number of reports about Michael Mann and George Clooney doing Gates of Fire over the last couple of years but I don't think its a definite go yet. If its anything like the book it will be exceedingly bloody.

Last year at a number of DVD sites they were indicating the possible release of both Fall of the Roman Empire and El Cid in 2003. Haven't read anything since. I think there is an issue about which studio owns the rights to El Cid. I also wouldn't mind seeing Zulu Dawn out on DVD if it was a good transfer. It is a prelude to Zulu in that it recounts the battle of Islandlawana in which the Brits lost about 1200 men to something like 5 to 6000 Zulus. Although the Brits consider it a defeat the loss of so many Zulus hurt them more than the Brits.
