Mark Wahlberg Steps Up

Looks like Mark Wahlberg has signed on to produce an movie about the young life of Julius Caesar. The film will cover his earlier years, before the campaigns in Gaul and the Civil War and his time as First Consul and Imperator. Specifically mentioned are his days as a hostage amongst pirates.

This is promising. Wahlberg rarely disappoints (well the plant movie, but we can give him a pass on that).
