THOSE ABOUT TO DIE + LAURA POZZAGLIO
Talent
Directed by Roland Emmerich, Those About To Die (Season 1) “explores a side of Romer never before told – the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most – blood and sport.”
With Production Design by Laura Pozzaglio, Those About To Die stars Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs, Nixon), Gonçalo Almeida (Monte Clérigo), Kyle Rowe (Raven’s Hollow, The Devil’s Hour), Victor Von Schirach (The Mallorca) and Giulia Nunnari (You Shouldn’t Have Let Me In).
Deadline: “Created by Robert Rodat, based on Daniel P. Mannix’s nonfiction classic of the same name, the drama series is set in the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome never before told.”
All 10 episodes of the series drops on Peacock on Thursday 18th July.
