Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment "has found its next franchise hero: Julius Caesar," Deadline.com reported, noting that the company "has signed on with White Horse Pictures to co-produce Emperor, the first in what could be a trilogy of films" based on Conn Iggulden's The Gates of Rome and The Field of Swords. "The fact-based tale has the kind of sexuality, political intrigue, battles and thirst for power evident in a series like HBO's Game Of Thrones. It is high priority for Lionsgate/Summit, and they will search for a director straight away," Deadline.com wrote.
