Jonathan Liebesman to direct Julius Caesar epic

_*Battle: Los Angeles*_*director Jonathan Liebesman has been recruited
by Warner Bros to direct an epic based around the life of Roman
general Julius Caesar.*

Penned by Chris Boal, the film will track Caesar’s formation of
the 10th Legion and the battles that eventually led to him becoming
ruler of the Roman republic.

A franchise-hungry Warner Bros are hoping the story has enough depth
and scope to turn into a profitable series.

Their plan is to create a hit by casting a major star as Caesar (you
can bet they’ve got Michael Fassbender on the blower). A second
film would then follow Caesar’s journey to Egypt and his
assassination.

Caesar was previously played by Marlon Brando in 1953's _Julius
Caesar_. He was nominated for an Oscar for his efforts.

Liebesman is currently finishing up work on another epic, having just
wrapped shooting on the _Clash Of The Titans_ sequel.

_Wrath Of The Titans_ opens March 2012.
