    No. I have no part in "Warrior". Maybe a TV series is the way to go. Hollywood steals my bloody idea AGAIN. Damn those American egotists. Fine.....

     

    I'll just update my blog with my version of Boudica.

     

    I'm sure "Warrior" will be great, but I would love to be able to get in on things first.

    The Manda Scott 'Boudica' series of books is pretty good, although it's probably about 60% fiction it has all the timescales, battles, all the major characters involved, Boudica, prasutagas, caratacus, Decianus Catus, Paulllinus, Nero etc, it gives a bit of an insight into what these people may have been like.

    Yes ok it is only a novel and should not be taken for historical fact but after reading it , it made me want to know a little bit more about the truth of it so i did a bit of research and now i'm a bit more clued up on that period of history

    So i think it just go's to show that even if it's not accurate, if it sets you on the right tracks to finding out the truth in the long run then it's a good place to start :rolleyes:

     

     

    Yeah have to agree that Manada Scott's Boudica series and Christian Jacq's Ramses series are the best of their kind. Manda Scott might be a good spot to start actually. I see that the fourth book in that series has just come out. Have read the other 3, so better complete the series before I start writing.

    Isn't Mel Gibson already spear-heading a Boudicca film called 'Warrior' set for release next year? I don't think he's actually going to direct it though. Perhaps the movie won't be made at all seeing as Gibson has ran into a little trouble with the cops recently.

     

    I think it might have been shelved. I'll give you guys a brief later in the week as to what I am planning

    The very quick prologue that I wrote is only 6 scenes long, but violent. If anyone can help me out with a tribal map of 1st Century England, I would be most appreciative.

    Unless spellings have changed, were not Boudicca's people the "Iceni"?

     

    Tribal maps should be easily avaialable in any history of Roman Britain - exactly what research have you done so far?

    Damn my Australian university education!!! We were always told that it was 'Eceni'.
