Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that a movie based on HBO’s Rome series is indeed underway. We brought you word almost a year ago that a Rome movie is in the works, and now EW has some early details to share.

Ray Stevenson Talks Fat Volstagg in Thor

With the insane success (financially and critically) of the latest Activision video game and the news over the last several ...
