Peacock has launched first look imagery for Roland Emmerich’s drama set in historical Rome.
Those About To Die stars Anthony Hopkins, Iwan Rheon, Sara Martins, Tom Hughes, Jojo Macari, Moe Hashim, and Dimitri Leonidas. The 10-episode sequence premieres in whole on July 18.
The sequence is a drama set within the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competitors, exploring a aspect of historical Rome by no means earlier than advised — the soiled enterprise of entertaining the plenty, giving the mob what they need most…blood and sport. The sequence introduces an ensemble of characters from all corners of the Roman Empire who collide at theintersection of sports activities, politics, and dynasties.
Directors are Emmerich (Ep 101, 102, 103, 109, 110) and Marco Kreuzpaintner (Ep 104, 105, 106, 107, 108)
The sequence was created by Robert Rodat (Who wrote Ep 101, 102, 103, 109, 110)
EPs are Emmerich, Harald Kloser, Gianni Nunnari, Rodat, Stuart Ford, Lourdes Diaz, Miguel A. Palos Jr., Kreuzpaintner, Herbert G. Kloiber, Martin Moszkowicz, Oliver Berben, Jonas Bauer, Charles Holland, and Namit Malhotra.
Production Companies embrace Centropolis Entertainment, Hollywood Gang Productions, and Street Entertainment.
