Viggen Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 An old-time epic feel has hit Rome (the modern one) with the return of swords and sandals in two big-budget TV series shooting here, one a joint HBO/BBC production and the other for ABC. The more expensive is HBO's "Rome," whose first season of 12 episodes is budgeted at roughly $75 million. ABC's "Empire" has planned eight episodes for a reported $30 million. What do you expect from those? Rubbish or decent info? full article at The Seattle Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 The HBO/BBC series will have potential. The ABC one will likely be crap akin to something like Xena, Hercules or garbage like that. I'll still watch both and try to not be too skeptical before they even air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kama Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 After Watching the HBO series 'band of brothers' i expect another great series from them. Band Of Brothers was excellent. absolutely amazing. hope this one is the same. ABC one will probably be stupid and cheap. just to bring in the people to watch it and it will suck.
