Bruno Heller was just one of the executive producers at the helm of the series and also was the man behind the the great writing. Rome showcases Roman society and culture, series one during and after the glorious reign of Julius Caesar Ciar. Cleverly, this parallels the story of Lucius Vorenus Kevin Mc. Kidd and Titus Pullo Ray Stevenson, two soldiers that over the course of the series take us through the rough ride of Roman civilization, also ironically finding themselves to be unknowing catalysts of historic events. Luciuss and Tituss hardship and friendship is known as being one of the most memorable ever seen in a television series. Rome introduced a mixture of both new and fresh faces.

The other casting choice of note is the role of Edmure Tully, Catelyn Starks younger brother, who will be played by Tobias Menzies, who in Rome plays Marcus Brutus.

It can be said, with Rome having similar scale and stylistic features to Game Of Thrones, that the pair are no strangers to playing historical archetypes and will surely ease into the roles effortlessly. With its strong cast and increasing popularity, it was certainly a surprise when Rome wasnt renewed for another season. Rome was initially meant to be a mini series, but when more people got behind its creation and the quality of writing improved it turned into a full ongoing series. However, with its blockbuster size budget, Rome was scrutinized financially, causing HBO to announce that they wouldnt be renewing Rome into its third season. With recent shows making it past the season two threshold, is there room for optimism Rumors suggested that Rome could have hit the big screen, a wise choice, as there is more chance for it to make its budget back, though I believe Rome was made for TV, and would be better off for it. I cant imagine fans of Game Of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire would be to happy with their beloved series being squeezed into a two hour time frame. Unfortunately, this past year has seen little to no news about Rome hitting TV or film. With HBO comfortable with its resurgence of popularity of its shows as of late, can Rome be considered again in the near future There is still time, and you only have to look at Band Of Brothers and The Pacific to know that HBO havent been shy of rekindling similar styled big budget series in the past. Whether Rome comes back with the same characters or ventures into new territories, we still would give anything for a bit of newsFor more on Rome, check out our full review of both seasons Leave us a comment with your own hopes and dreams for the future of this show.
