'FALCO' ROMAN SAGA
TO BECOME NEW ITV SERIES
I know that some of you like detective series and some of you historical ones, but what would you say about a series that follows a private detective
in Ancient Rome? That is what Poldark's and Victoria's Mammoth Screen is currently doing for British ITV: they are going to adapt Lindsey Davis FALCO novels into a TV show which was originally supposed to be done over at rival BBC.

| The number of episodes is not yet known |
Started back in 1989 with The Silver Pigs each of the twenty novels
tells a self contained story about Marcus Didius Falco, a fictional
Roman private detective who investigates crimes and acts as an often
reluctant imperial agent. As Deadline reports, Falco is described as a
laid-back operator whose adventures take place across the Roman Empire
in 70 AD and beyond. As the books progress, Falco gets married, has
children and acquires a dog named Nux.
The poster is a bit boring. I'll wait for the trailer to see if it piques my interest.
ReplyDeleteThat ain't poster, silly, 'tis one of the book covers :) You should see the other ones... LOL I thought he looked quite like a Superman in that cover.
DeleteHe does look like Superman!
DeleteA Roman Superman!
DeleteBook cover, poster... either way I still think it's boring to look at. He does look like a Roman Superman, but then again, I am not intrigued by Superman either LOL
DeleteI am if it is Henry Cavill.
DeleteWell, that's an altogether different story then. Henry Cavill can definitely spice up the most boring of things!
DeleteI cannot wait for his Witcher next month, I'm giddy with excitement!
DeleteHistorical and mystery? It sounds like forensic files, the ancient history version. lol!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Romans kept their doors locked?
DeleteLol! If I had to guess, I would guess no.
DeleteThey did keep a short sword or a dagger under their pillows, though....
DeleteThis series sounds good! I'd watch it!
ReplyDeleteHope they cast someone very interesting.
DeleteAncient Rime sounds so interesting to me☺
ReplyDeleteTo me as well!
DeleteHow about Pedro Pascal for Falco?
ReplyDeletePlease, someone hear my prayers!
But he is quite wooden and terrible in Mandalorian.
