The conception is a sort of post - apocalyptic Rome , in which Caesar has restitute a thriving and ordered fellowship after a period of long and bitter wars . costume will be mod . But not suits and draw . More like remnants from a metre before the prostration .
The approach will be very much like that of a microscope stage production , lean more toward reductivism and nonobjective storytelling techniques fight back to historical authenticity . I require to save the essence of a live performance and the experience of watching actors recount a account , while at the same time , make an amazing visual experience through dynamic cinematography .
