Saturday, September 13, 2008 at 6:27AM Jim Sheridan to Write, Direct 'I, Claudius' Remake
One of the best miniseries in the history of television will soon get a big
screen makeover, courtesy of director
Jim Sheridan.
Dark Horizons
reports that Sheridan (My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father)
will adapt Robert Graves' classic historical drama I, Claudius. 
The novel was immediately praised upon its release in
1934 and has long been considered one of the best novels of the 20th Century.
Claudius eventually became one of the greatest and most progressive Roman
emperors, despite being afflicted with most likely either Tourette's Syndrome or
cerebral palsy.
Graves' book was turned into an epic ten-episode
BBC
miniseries in the 1970s, which starred Derek Jacobi, John Hurt, Patrick Stewart,
and others.
Relativity Media will produce this new version of
I, Claudius, which has no production date
scheduled yet. Just about a year ago,
there were
reports that
Leonardo DiCaprio and screenwriter
William Monahan
were interested in pooling their resources for a remake; Monahan would be out in
this scenario, but I think you'd take DiCaprio's call if you're Jim Sheridan.
