If anyone saw the making of gladiator in the special re issued DVD you will hear what an pompous cretin he is and how it took all these other writers including, director Ridley Scott and Actor, Russell Crowe to pull together ideas on scenes and dialogues IE Strenght & Honor came from Crowe and it rang throughout the movie as a theme. I hope Vin finds a real screen writer that will bring life to the role. Frankly here is an idea, take LIVY's tale on the 2nd punic war, have him narrate as he writes the story or have Scipio AFricanus narrate as he was a respectul foe of Hannibal's- Good luck, Vin hope you read this or someone in your camp so that you can find a real writer for this script-
