Burr Steers ("Igby Goes Down," 17 Again) is set to direct "Emperor: Young Caesar", the first in a proposed historical drama film trilogy based on the life of Julius Caesar reports Deadline New York .
Based on Conn Iggulden's best-selling "Emperor" book series--The Gates of Rome The Death of Kings The Field of Swords The Gods of War,with a 5th on the way-- the first film will revolve around the rise of a young Julius and his childhood friend Brutus (Cicero) who grew to adulthood in Rome two millennia ago as the Republic began to fall apart and political war was being played out in the senate.
Later books in the series deal with Caesar's battles in North Africa, Greece, Spain, Gaul and Britain, the civil war with his old ally Pompey, his encounters with Cleopatra and his assassination.
William Broyles and Stephen Harrigan penned the adaptation while Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton are producing. the pic.
Since Steers and Zac Efron have already made 2 films together... might this be their third?
