'Those About to Die' Cast Talks Anthony Hopkins, Gladiators and Filming in Rome

Get ready to enter the arena with Those About to Die - an epic new drama that explores the corrupt world of ancient Rome and the spectacle-driven gladiatorial battles. Ahead of the Thursday, July 18 premiere of the new Peacock series, starring Anthony Hopkins as Roman Emperor Vespasian, the cast opened up to PopCulture.com about working alongside the Oscar-winner to showcase an often-overlooked side of the ancient empire.
Tom Hughes and Jojo Macari worked closely with Hopkins as the emperor's embattled sons - Titus Flavianus and his ambitious younger brother Domitian. Hughes told PopCulture he felt "very privileged" to bring the imperial family to life alongside his celebrated on-screen father.
The fight for the imperial throne is just one aspect of Roman life explored by Those About to Die, which also stars Game of Thrones' Iwan Rheon, Sara Martins, Moe Hashim, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Gabriella Pession, Dimitri Leonidas and others as characters "who collide at the explosive intersection of sports, politics, and dynasties."

what ruined it for me, is first you have strong leads, the two sons emperor outstanding, the female trying get her daughts, awesome and the game of thrones guy as well. trust your actors and story, not necessary to have a sick twisted sex scene every other scene??? its not spartacus, it doesnt fit, act like thats all romans did was screw each other all day and have sex with boys, just tell the damn story.. these writers need therapy, their just sick, seek therapy and trust your leads... this could been awesome, that ruined it for me
