Fans of HBO's critically-beloved (but short-lived) series Rome may not have seen the last of Vorenus and Pullo. Multiple sources have confirmed to EW that a big-screen sequel to the sword-and-sandals series is well underway. Rome creator/executive Bruno Heller — who went on to create CBS's hit The Mentalist — has finished a script for Morning Light Productions, which financed the development and will produce the film. Series stars Kevin McKidd (Lucius Vorenus) and Ray Stevenson (Titus Pullo) will likely sign onto the movie, which picks up in Germany four years after the series ended. The next step for Morning Light is to find a director and a studio, since HBO Films won't be involved.

Rome the series aired from 2005-07 and took place during Ancient Rome, beginning with Caesar's invasion of Gaul and continuing with the rise of the first Emperor Augustus. The series centered on soldiers Pullo and Vorenus, who appeared to die at the end of the series.

I'm sorry, but this cannot turn out well.

It was bad already on TV - I can just imagine how it'll turn on the big screen.

Rome was awesome. Anyone who says different is mad. That is all.

Rome was great as entertainment, but I can see how the anal-retentive types could not enjoy the show because names were improperly declined (or whatever) and some minor characters were combined.

On the other hand, the anal-retentive whining is also entertaining, so there's a win-win to this news.

Sorta like how the veins in their foreheads implode every time there's a commercial for 300.

I didn't like looking at the junk shots in the series. <timmay mode> HBO should be banned.

The irony of deeming masturbation over commas - in public of course - superior to so-called 'anal retention' - is most entertaining.

Well, if you enjoy masturbating over commas, I certainly won't try to stop you.  If you think it superior to anal-retentiveness... well, you have both, so I will bow to your superior experience, and acknowledge that it is irony is not just the opposite of wrinkly.
