![]() ![]() Writer: David Self (based on the novel by Steven Pressfield) Some controversy might’ve spiced things up. This script needed something worth talking about. But none of that is present in the script, which is too bad. I hear that the book tackles some controversial topics, such as the Spartans bisexuality during training. ![]() But ultimately, the drafts weren’t good enough to get the film into production. Things got so hot, Michael Mann (Heat, Last of the Mohicans) attached himself as director, and everything was looking like a go. He would later hire David Self to write the script (Road to Perdition) and field monthly calls from Bruce Willis, who was dying to be in the film. Premise: A young man is made a slave by the Spartans just as they begin preparing for a war against the mighty Persian army.Ībout: George Clooney fucking loved this book (going so far as to say it’s better than Gladiator!), immediately snatching it up after publication for his production company. ![]()
