CHARLIE HUNNAN! DANIEL CRAIG'S FUTURE LOVER
As we have mentioned a couple of days ago, Daniel Craig will portray Hadrian, who had an affair while married with a teenage Bithynian boy named Antinous. The Antonio Banderas rumor is now officially squelched. And Queer as Folk UK Charlie Hunnam will play the young lover. Source
Wow, this is sooo cool =)

What? I think Hunnam is utterly hot and all that, but I was thinking they were going to look for some fresh-er meat. Antinous after all, died with 19 or 20 years old.
If this is indeed true anyway.

Pretty sure they can pull it off.
Hunnan's also, hi, an ACTOR...like Craig. I think this is going to be a classic.

Hallelujah! They're both great actors, very good looking. Looking forward to this movie now.

AfterElton contacted Hunnan after the rumours started and he said this is not true. It is just a rumour. That is a direct quote.

they are both good looking and craig is a believable actor. but, seriously, utterly miscast - both of them, but especially the antinous role

Damn it, why can't they give Jamie Bell some love? He's an amazing actor. You should watch and see how Jamie bell completely steals the thunder from Charlie Hunnam in Nicholas Nickleby.
Sure, he's not drop dead gorgeous, but who said the character had to be?

umm... @rusty professor: surely you've at least heard of the story of hadrian and antinous???
antinous was supposed to be this gorgeous young guy that hadrian fell in love with the moment he saw him. and when he died young, hadrian was so distraught he had antinous declared a god and had temples and statues made of him everywhere in the empire.
so yeah... antinous is supposed to be stunning! (enter alex pettyfer... cute as a button.. but can't act to save his life..)
kinda like the male Helen of Sparta if you will... whose beauty made men do crazy things

I love these movies! (Alexander, Troy, 300, etc.) The ancient world must have been an absolute non-stop circuit party. Order me a weekend pass!

Is this movie for real? Will it be actually coming or it just phony like some have messaged here already?
