Hadrian and a Bond...boy?

[eumelia]

Who want to see a movie about a Roman Emperor who was known for being a kick-ass and a gentle lover?

I do!

Especially when Daniel Craig (The new and second best James Bond) is going to play Emperor Hadrian - who was well known for a wall, fighting against the Second Jewish revolt and for his lover Antinous - whom he deified after Antinous' death.

Apropo bisexual men; Mr. Craig, in lieu of portraying a bisexual character, suggested that in the next Bond film, 007 have a Bond-Boy, instead of a Bond-Girl.

He is quoted in the Daily Star: "Why not? I think in this day and age fans would have accepted it. No-one blinks an eye"

I have a bit of a crush on Daniel Craig now.

I was just thinking that I wanted to learn more about Hadrian, who must have been an utterly crap emperor to have had revolts on two fronts like that. This sounds like a fun movie!

"Now"? You mean you didn't have a crush on him before? :-P
Also: OMG. That's all I wanted to say.

Daniel Craig as a boy-loving Roman emperor? If it's even half-decent, I might go see it - and as an aspiring classicist, I usually avoid "historical" flicks set in the ancient world like the plague. Esp since Troy made me no longer think Brad Pitt is hot, despite the fact that he spent the whole movie running around in a short leather skirt.

otoh, I would LOVE to see a Bond boy.

I must admit to already crushing on him a wee bit in Bond - I who vastly prefers girls, and a straight male friend saw it together and we were discussing him afterwards and he's all "hell, even i'd do him".

Daniel Craig, encouraging bisexuality everywhere :D.

Now i think i have a proper crush on him. And i totally want to see a Bond boy in the mix!
