Oh great, Pompeii.. yet another tale that is going to get CGI'd in the ass. I have another idea, Hollywood. How about you do a story on Theseus and Crete, with the Minotaur shooting laserbeams out of its eyes and carrying two miniguns.
Theseus will be played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, only since he's old it'll be titled: "how Theseus got his groove back". Also, the minotaur will be 25 stories tall and it was constructed by aliens.
