Nero
An extravagant dramatisation of a gilded and tragic chapter in history. Emperor Caligula's (John Simm) mind is unraveling and in a fit of rage he murders his sister's husband on false charges of conspiracy and sends Agrippina (Laura Morante, HOTEL) into exile. Adopting Agrippina's son Nero (Hans Matheson, TV's DR. ZHIVAGO) as his heir, the Emperor hands the young man the throne by means of a false will. Nero ascends to the throne as the most powerful man in Rome, but deteriorates and finally falls due to the paranoia, guilt, and bloodlust that haunts him. Directed by Paul Marcus (PRIME SUSPECT), the film recalls its contemporary, TROY, in its epic scale and scope.

WOODEN!
I have to say that Hans Matheson was superb as the fierce but childlike Nero. I wish i could say this about the lead female whose dubbing was awful. This factor... read more »

Bana's hair held up movie
- 14 Aug 2009
Filmmakers had to postpone the release of Eric Bana's new movie The Time Traveler's Wife for one year while they waited for the Aussie actor's hair to grow back. After wrapping the romantic movie, Bana shaved his head for his role as Nero in recent sci-fi release Star Trek. Director Robert Schwentke realised he needed Bana to reshoot scenes with co-star Rachel McAdams for The Time Traveler's wife, only to discover he looked completely different. The delay means the film is hitting cinemas in... Read more
