month over at
Sky Italy and will arrive to other Sky channels around Europe and Now TV sometime next year. I've also heard that it will air for US audience next spring on
HBO (it is already airing on some of HBO's local cable channels in Europe).
THE STORY OF ROMULUScoming
from Mattero Rovere (who first made Romulus and Remus movie a few
years ago), is set in Lazio, 8th century BC, a primitive and brutal
world in which the fate of everyone is decided by the implacable power

violence: Yemos, prince of Alba,
Wiros, a young orphan and slave and the young vestal Ilia. A story of
men and women who discover how to create a destiny instead of suffering
it. Romulus is the epic and hyper-realistic story of the genesis of
Rome, as it has never been told.
ANDREA ARCANGELI IS YEMOS
As Prince of Alba, he is forced to flee. Captured by the Luperci, he meets Wiros with whom he shares very hard trials. Yemos inherited the values of honor and

FRANCESCO DI NAPOLI IS WIROS
Slave in the city of Velia, he leaves for the Lupercalia, the initiation rite that all the boys of the city must perform to become men. Despite the abuse and

MARIANNA FONTANA IS ILIA

I’ve always found the Italian language so intriguing! They could be saying the worst things and it sound so beautiful. Lol. Glad to see it’s going be released for the US because it looks like a good show.
ReplyDeleteUnlike you, I gotta admit I've never liked it, I tried learning it and gave up after three lessons LOL it was just too nonmelodic to me. But this is Latin in the trailer, not Italian. I've learned Latin too for two years, still remember all the declinations :)
DeleteLOL Shows how well I understand that language. My family speaks Sicilian which is very sing song like and romantic. I don't speak it, but I've always loved to listen to it. That and French, too.
DeleteTo answer your question on my page, I got him an apple watch since it's what he's been after for a couple of years. I got a great deal for Cyber Monday this morning! Oh, and a bathrobe to match his not so manly slippers. All he needs now is an old fashioned pipe to complete the ensemble. :)
We do ever so love Cyber Mondies! I haven't bought anything for Friday nor for Monday, but I'm waiting for a new hardback Quo Vadis edition to come out to buy it for myself when December festive sales start. Christmas fair at our main square has been cancelled this year and nobody will be celebrating New Year's out (which is usually the biggest celebration here) so I won't be buying much, if any, Christmas stuff this year. That is, if we even survive till holidays, LOL, we have about 7000 to 8000 newly sick each day here and many dead celebrities too including our patriarch (who is like a pope figure here).
DeleteWow, your cases sky rocketed! I fear that's everywhere now that we're in the holiday season. We've been following all the rules and can only hope that others do as well. Do you think things will change once the vaccine is released or will restrictions remain? I must admit that I'm fearful for us to even take the vaccine!
DeleteRestrictions will remain at least for a year more or well into 2022. I don't plan on taking the vaccine unless they force me, but we will barely have enough for school kids as it is, I think. Our dictator has forbidden our medical staff to take tests on themselves so that nobody will know how many doctors and nurses are sick, but they say we have no more space in hospitals for the ill, he is just covering it up. He is beyond evil. We have about thousand ill currently just in my city. They even turned our local asylym into a covid hospital and proclaimed state of emergency on the city territory.
DeleteI saw "Romulus" and thought this was gonna be for another Star Trek movie. LOL You'll get this is you ever watched Star Trek.
ReplyDeleteNo pointed ears here, sadly :)
DeleteLooks brutal and bloody, but good anyway. I now have HBO, so I'll be on the lookout for it this coming spring.
ReplyDeleteIt is already on Torrents, but no subs yet.
DeleteRomulus looks like a nice story ❤
ReplyDeleteTrue!
