"I discovered halfway through writing the second season the show was going to end. The second was going to end with the death of Brutus. Third and fourth season would be set in Egypt. Fifth was going to be the rise of the Messiah in Israel. But because we got the heads-up that the second season would be it, I telescoped the third and fourth season into the second one, which accounts for the blazing speed we go through history near the end. There's certainly more than enough history to go around."
>tfw there was going to be 5 glorious seasons of this but the plebs decided to cancel it instead...
They canceled it to make way for game of memes
Sad really
>>71172220
you realize Rome was canceled six years before Game of Thrones aired due to its own budget issues, right?
producers couldn't balance a budget to save their lives, the first season of Rome cost more than the current season of Game of Thrones
>>71172315
Hmm no wonder its so much better than game of shit
Will Rome motivate me to workout?
>>71172315
>mfw HBO regretted the cancellation when DVD sales rolledin
>>71172315
because actual effort was put into sets and costumes
>mfw I will never a see a Roman woman get fucked by a baboon
>>71173020
Whats the matter you dont have baboons in your country?
more pissed they axed the final season of Deadwood
there was gonna be like 6 seasons of carnivale too. the hbo ceo back in 2000s was such a retard.
fun fact: you can still see some of the rome sets in italy on google earth/maps
>>71173188
There wouldn't have been 6 seasons even if the funding was in place because Nick Stahl is a crackhead.
A fucking travesty.
>>71172930
>meanwhile game of thrones is getting a millionth season
In fairness GoT ends next year so maybe HBO will take another stab at this. We should start a letter bomb campaign to make it happen (as in mass mailing not a campaign of terror).
>>71173004
Fuck that looks beautiful, that scene of Caesar's coronation was so cool.
>>71173004
>tfw they built all this from the ground up and some dickbag burned it down
>>71174050
that set is actually still standing
>>71172886
nah they were fat built this was around 2005 before modern Hollywood roid culture kicked in breh
>>71171339
It was a time when a tv show with a massive budget just didn't seem like it could ever be a good idea. They were so fucking wrong, though.
Seriously though why don't they just bring it back?
>>71173188
>back in 2000s
Fuck im old
>>71172315
they were trying to get in on the air for years. they literally used rome's budget to make way for it
>>71173361
Savage
>>71173361
Game of Thrones will have two more seasons
i wonder how much it really costs to make got after all those delicious irish tax credits.
>>71171339
>Rome set in Egypt and Israel...
>worst parts of S2 were the bits in Egypt and the jew arc
>fictional Jesus Christ ruining Rome
Fucking ecstatic we didn't have to see this shit
>>71173139
>Deadwood gets canceled for Rome
>Carnival canceled for who the fuck knows why?
>Rome cancelled for GoT
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>71176286
Rome got canceled because the set burned down
>>71176320
how does that end a show? i know they have all kinds of insurance
>>71176320
the forum set is still up, rome was cancelled because beacsue the bbc pulled out and hbo didn't want to fit the bill themselves.
>>71173635
Kinda hard to do it by the original plan now.. they basically rushed his planned season 3 and 4 into like 3 episodes at the end of season 2.
>>71176191
S2 Egypt was bad because it was horrifically rushed, for the reasons explained in this thread. The rushing also pretty much stamped out any humour between those 2 male characters, which was great in season one.
>>71171339
this is worse than deadwood,why can't we have anything good when shit shows go on forever jdims already
Requesting all epic Rome memes....
>>71171339
>Fifth was going to be the rise of the Messiah in Israel.
Thought Rome was a historical drama, not religious sci-fi/fantasy?
>>71177153
>>71177153
>>71177153
>the very mention of religion triggers the atheist
>>71176286
>Deadwood ended when it needed to. It would've turned to shit.
>season 2 of carnivale of terrible. Especially, when you compare it to season 1.
>rome was tolerable, but nothing special. Most of the filler shit, was shit.
>>71173361
kek
>>71172315
Game of thrones is shit especially the short cuts and shitty sets.
game of shit
>>71177153
>>71177153
Probably bait, but I am gonna reply anyway. Christianity had a hugh impact on Rome and Christians were prosecuted and executed for many years. There's an interesting side story in there easily.
Why is everyone in this show so god damn fat?
>>71185430
LIKE WHO??

HBO's next project will be great
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX3u0IlBBO4
or what do you /tv/ think?
>>71185430
i've never seen body dismorphia projected onto others before
>>71176360
the bbc should never be allowed to pull out again
>>71171339
INSTEAD WE GET GAME OF PLEBS
FUCK YOU HBO
Wish HBO would pick up Hannibal

THE PAIN NEVER FADES

>Third and fourth season would be set in Egypt. Fifth was going to be the rise of the Messiah in Israel.
I'm actually glad it was cancelled theb.
Holy shit that would have sucked.
Also
>jews not wasting anytime to shove jews in a period show
Atia's horse dude and those subplots with his terrorist brother and herod were bad enough.
Rome is among the biggest tryhard/ edgelord cringeworthy series ever to shit up the screen.
>muh rape
>muh faggotry
>muh violence
Stupid fucking series that only degenerates and edgelords think was any good.
>>71176360
BBC pullout...kek
Rome was junk.
>>71177153
Correct, there's no Roman record of any savior.
>>71186163
>From Executive Produce JJ Abrams
No. You can keep it.
>>71186802
yeah... but even Bay managed to make a decent series too (Black Sails)
what about the foundation show they've been talking about for years? is that ever gonna happen?
or plebs cant into good books?
>>71186697
the only edgelord here is you.
faggotry? as i remember there only was one guy with one manwhorekid
>>71186802
I fucking felt the same way.
fucking jj as much as I'm interested in westworld
>>71173361
GoT is far better than Rome though.
