A few days ago, I read that actor, Denzel Washington will play the Carthaginian general, Hannibal in a Netflix movie, and Antoine Fuqua will direct this upcoming project. The two make a good team based on their past collaborations.
As a HUGE fan of Carthaginian history, I’m beyond thrilled that this movie is being made about them. I’ve been waiting for a motion picture about Hannibal and the Carthaginians since I learned about them in the game, Age Of Empires: The Rise of Rome.
I remember reading years ago that Vin Diesel was working on making a movie about Hannibal, but for whatever reason, it never happened. It’s a shame. There’s a lot of material that would be great to see in movie form.
