Who Needs News?

This... but in RomeWhen you can just post random bullshit.

Now normally sites like Aint It Cool News are relatively selective when it comes to speculation and rumor. They held back on blowing up about the Dark Knight (which for you mouth breathers is the name of the new [pushes up glasses] Batman sequel) castings until the studio announced them for instance. Considering the sheer amount of sillypants prattle that must come through their inboxes, not a lot that hasn’t been confirmed ends up on the page. But then every once and a while there’s this:

This is from an untested source, but sounds too crazy not to be true:

Herc,

Longtime reader, here with a scoop I picked up on through friends of this new show’s lead actor. Apparently, HBO has been developing a new series called ‘The Centurion’. It takes place in Rome during the height of the empire. The interesting thing is that the story focuses on the idea that aliens regularly visited and encouraged the civilization there. From what I know, the contracts are all being signed now and the show is practically a go for shooting the end of this year into next, for a fall release. You can call me thedefiantone!

This despite the fact that HBO already has a low-rated (but excellent) show called Rome and have a show coming down the pipe (John From Cincinnati) which may or may not deal with alien interaction. Now this would be really cool if it were true, but so would having a dick I could use as a lasso.

Of course, the Talkback is right on the money:

Yes, it’s called ‘Great Ceasar’s Ghost’–

–and it’s a knockoff of Hamlet save for the fact that this time the Ghost is the star, and he’s dealing with the attempted takeover of Rome by the Martians from that 1988 War of the Worlds series. They get to stand around in togas, gas masks and lear at CGI early Christians alot. You’ve never lived ’til you’ve seen a Martian in a toga getting hacked to pieces by a pissed off CGI St. Mark.

Ummm… what if we just did Rome Season 2? Thanks [AICN]
