You've just been selected by an eccentric group of investors as the chief adviser on a major upcoming historical drama. Describe the period / event you'd like to see covered and your ideal cast.
>WW1 "royal cousins" biopic directed by Steven Spielberg
>Christoph Waltz as Kaiser Wilhelm
>Leonardo DiCaprio as Czar Nicholas II
>Joaquin Phoenix as King George V
>Daniel Day-Lewis as Woodrow Wilson
>Christian Bale as Vladimir Lenin
One can dream I guess

Watch Fall of Eagles.
Frankly, for most historical events I'd much rather see an HBO series
second punic war
Idris Elba as Hannibal
Benedict Cumberbatch as Scipio Africanus
Robert De Niro as Cato the elder
>WE
nah, pass
?
>Having a black guy play a Punic (ie Phoenician/Syrian) Carthaginian from NORTH Africa.
you fell for the b8, nigger
>white actor for a guy literally named africanus
lol stop trying to rewrite history for your insecurities
there's a reason the Romans hated Carthage so much
shut up red button nip monkey
don't do it nigga
Cortez,
With Javier as Cortez.
Might be one in the works actually. Or there was at one point
Decent idea for a thread that's already been turned into a trainwreck by this post
AYO
DDL is retiring but Leo is playing Teddy Roosevelt soon, probably the closest you'll get
>Leo is playing Teddy Roosevelt soon
I heard about that in 2010 and nothings happened yet.
They're eccentric enough, I could probably convince them to do a Kaiserreich miniseries with an HBO-tier budget:
>Christopher Plummer as Kaiser Wilhelm
>Russell Crowe as Huey Long
>Hugh Laurie as John Reed
>Bruce Willis as Doug MacArthur
>Christopher Plummer as Wilhelm II (he's already done it once before)
>Michael Fassbender as Oswald Mosley
>Sacha Baron Cohen as Baron Pyotr Wrangel
>Aidan Gillan as Boris Savinkov
>Alexander Skarsgard as Roman von Ungern-Sternberg
>Daniel Wu as Emperor Puyi
>Martin Freeman as Wilhelm III
>Clark Gregg as Dwight Eisenhower
>Sean Penn as William Dudley Pelley
>James D'Arcy as Edward VIII of Canada
>Cristoph Waltz as Pope Julius IV
>That new great war episode where the guy goes off about george V "deploring many of the methods of modern war" and trying to depict him as humane
Yet more pro-allied propaganda and central powers bashing as is to be expected of this biased leftist channel
Millions of innocent defeneseless german civilians died due to the naval blockade of food shipments to europe this faggot enacted but ((they)) won't even mention it in passing, typical
And he even literally calls the Kaiser "an unfunny guy" in that episode aswell
Jesus this pro-allied shilling is becoming more predictable by the day
The kaiser was unironically evil
>An Austrian as a Prussian emperor
Only Hollywood could produce this.
If you'd like to watch something on the level, watch the Charité miniseries set in 1888, focussing on the early Robert Koch and his protigées. Has a "The Knick" vibe to it and is beautifully done.
Don't bully Willy.
No one else is better suited to play the role
This would never work because everyone you listed is a dominant actor who needs a lot of screentime in order to be effective (except Waltz who works better as a supporting actor for others). With an ensemble cast you'd just be left wishing one or more of them got more screentime than they actually did. You really think Daniel Day-Lewis is gonna be a good Wilson in a movie that doesn't even focus on him?
