Denzel MAJOR UPDATE! Filming HANNIBAL!

[HAR125LEM]

I went to an early Dolby Cinema show yesterday.
Took My Iranian Co-Worker/Psuedo-Girlfriend (it's a Work joke) who's a HUGE Action and Denzel fan.
Though the audience was light for an early showing,
That didn't stop all the screaming reactions for sure.
Especially My Co-Worker
(Listening to Her yell for Denzel in her Accent and partial Farsi was hilarious).
Peeps were waiting for Denzel to burn some ASS!
Didn't disappoint.

Of Course, this film isn't going to make "BARBENHEIMER" bucks.
But Denzel (along with Tom Hanks) is that common "Everyman" actor who still pleases audiences.
Which makes Him an ICON among "regular" movie-going folks.

Shit was like an international modern-day take on "SHANE" and "HIGH NOON".
I'm tempted to see it again with a much larger crowd.

I did have a minor nagging issue with the film regarding McCall race not being used as a "plot point".
Especially in where the film took place.
Though I do understand the approach Washington and Fuqua wanted to take the character.
But I'm going to wait until more BGOL Peeps see it before I go into it.
Still didn't take away my enjoyment of the film though.

Denzel Washington Re-Teams With 'The Equalizer 3' Director for Hannibal Movie

Antoine Fuqua will helm the untitled feature based on the real-life warrior.

Fresh off his villainous role in the upcoming Gladiator 2, Denzel Washington is set to re-enter the ancient world. He will play the Carthaginian general Hannibal in a new Netflix film for director Antoine Fuqua. The as-yet-untitled new film will reportedly focus on Hannibal's campaigns against Rome during the Second Punic Wars, which led to him being considered one of the greatest generals in history.

This will be the latest collaboration for Washington and Fuqua, who have had a fruitful partnership since 2001's Training Day; Washington's turn as brutal LA cop Alonzo Harris netted him his first Best Actor Academy Award. The two have since collaborated on the three Equalizer films and the 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven. The film will be written by a screenwriter with a knack for bringing history to life: John Logan, whose resume includes the scripts for Gladiator, The Aviator, The Last Samurai, and Hugo. Logan is also set to write the script for Fuqua's upcoming Michael Jackson biopic.

Who Was Hannibal?


Hannibal was a general of the Carthaginian people, who ruled an empire in northern Africa in the centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ.

As it expanded, the Carthaginian Empire came into conflict with the other great Mediterranean power of the age, the Roman Empire; they clashed in a series of conflicts that came to be known as the Punic Wars.

Hannibal was the Carthaginians' greatest general and is considered to be one of the finest military minds of the ancient world. During the Second Punic War, Hannibal invaded Italy, with his forces mounted on a herd of war elephants, and successfully occupied southern Rome for fifteen years.

However, the great Roman general Scipio Africanus attacked Carthage, forcing Hannibal to retreat home, where he was defeated. He later allied with the Greek king Antiochus III, who waged his own lengthy war on Rome. Reports of Hannibal's death vary; some say that he died from an infection, while others say he took poison after being betrayed by the Romans.

​

Radial and medial motor nerve points produce what's called a sympathetic nerve reflex. Injure and strike one body point the other feels it too. Like the Common Peronial and the Superficial Peronial motor nerve points. All part of pressure point control tactics. The real horror though is in your mind as your brain tries to assign meaning to the injured body part. As the other body parts screams like it's injured. Interesting scene.

Let the debates begin!!

I’ll start. Hannibal and the Carthaginians were Phoenician - meaning their ancestry was Levantine. They weren’t black Africans.
