Script Report: HANNIBAL
July 26th, 2002
In a not so surprising development GLADIATOR screenwriter David Franzoni (also wrote AMISTAD) has been hired to adapt Revolution Studios' HANNIBAL, based on Ross Leckie's novel. Vin Diesel is attached to star in and produce through his One Race Prods. The project will see Diesel portray the third century B.C. Carthaginian general who rode across the Alps on an elephant to attack Rome. Diesel's producing partner George Zakk also is producing. Franzoni earned an Academy Award for best picture and a nomination for best original screenplay for GLADIATOR, which he wrote and produced.
