Roland Emmerich, the director behind disaster movies such as Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, <\/em>and Moonfall<\/em>, is making a \u201cgladiatorial epic\u201d series for NBCUniversal\u2019s streaming service Peacock. The show, which will be titled Those About to Die<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> is based on the book of the same name by Daniel Mannix (which, incidentally, previously served as the inspiration for Ridley Scott\u2019s Gladiator<\/em>). The series is set to be written by Robert Rodat, whose previous work includes Saving Private Ryan.<\/em><\/p>\n

Those About to Die<\/em> is the first TV show created by Emmerich. Although he previously directed 2012 TV movie Dark Horse<\/em>, the director\u2019s career has otherwise been focused on the big screen, with a filmography packed with summer blockbusters. It sounds like the aim is to preserve these big-screen sensibilities despite the show being destined for streamers. Here\u2019s how Peacock\u2019s announcement post describes it:<\/p>\n

\n

Those About to Die<\/em> is a large-scale drama set within the spectacular, complex, and corrupt world of gladiatorial sports in Ancient Rome. The series introduces an ensemble of diverse characters across the many layers of Roman society where sports, politics, and business intersect and collide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And don\u2019t worry, as well as gladiatorial battles, Those About to Die<\/em> will also feature the spectacle of chariot racing, according to NBCUniversal television and streaming\u2019s president of scripted content Lisa Katz. Deadline<\/em> reports<\/a> that the budget for the series sits at around $140 million and that production is due to kick off early next year in Italy. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
