Do u think any of gemmell books will make it to the big screen

I think Eric Bana is a more versatile actor and he has a more rugged look.

But it came out several years afterword and its more like historical fantasy.

Numbers wise it sold like Gemmell books. Film rarely do anything for their books unless they are LOTR level,HP.

Alternative-historical fiction, I would say.

For example, Homer said that Achilles more or less overwhelmed Hector, whupped his arse big time. David said it was an almost equal fight between two physical supermen, Achilles just edging Hector due to Achilles being much younger. Achilles died first due to poison, placed on Hector's sword to destroy Hector's almost godlike superhero image.

Homer: Helen was a exceptionally beautiful , had "the face that launched a thousand ships".
David: Helen was a quite simple, rather plain looking woman.

Homer: Priam was a soft, gentle king
David: Priam was a supermacho, superconfident, man-among-men hard man type of Trojan monarch. A ladies man, had a roving eye for the girls, constantly on the lookout for his next bedroom conquest. Anyone was fair game for him, including his son's wives.

Homer: Achilles was blonde, Hector was dark haired.
David: Achilles was dark haired, Hector was golden haired.

Maybe a professional wrestler, or ex-professional wrestler, could play a Gemmelian hero n excel in his role, too.

I just recalled, that Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson looked quite credible, impressive, even, as a sword-wielding warrior king in 'the Scorpion King', a while back.
