I guess Vorenus' death was only a dream. As was the murder of Gaius Julius, nicknamed Caesar.

Vorenus never died on the show. He was seriously wounded but he was still alive and seemed to be improving at the end of the finale episode. As for Julius Caesar, my guess is that the film will pick up where the show's finale left off so there will be no issue there.

From the article,

Series stars Kevin McKidd (Lucius Vorenus) and Ray Stevenson (Titus Pullo) will likely sign onto the movie, which picks up in Germany four years after the series ended.

But what are they doing in Germany in 27 BC? (Actium was 31 BC). Augustus doesn't invade Germania Magna until 12 BC.

My only response to that would be "it's going to be a movie and not a documentary". wink

I'm sure there was some contact back and forth between the Romans and Germans before they invaded properly.

There was an excellent book I read a long time ago about a Roman "secret agent" trying to get back the "lost Eagles" of Varus from the Germans...

Great news! thumbsup

Maybe Vorenus and Pullo are acting as scouts? Caesar bridged the Rhine during his Gaul campaign, so the Romans already were in contact with Germanic tribes. If the writers and producers are the same, I'm sure they'll come up with a convincing story that is historically feasible.

I'm looking forward to that movie. And who knows? If it does well financially, maybe HBO might consider a third season?

I'm sure it's even greater news for Ray Stevenson (Pullo) since his "Punisher" movie totally bombed at the box office.

I believe Kevin McKidd (Vorenus) currently has a recurring role on Grey's Anatomy.

Yeah, I do hope the movie will restart their careers. I've recently bought "Kingdom of Heaven" (Director's cut) on Blu-ray, and noticed that Kevin McKidd had a minor role as "English Sergeant" (honestly never noticed it before). Ridley surely could have expanded that role a bit.
