Burr Steers to Direct Emperor: Young Caesar
Burr Steers is set to direct Emperor: Young Caesar. So, get ready for the screen adaptation of the first book in a series of four bestselling novels from Conn Iggulden!
Steers is best known for his work on Charlie St. Cloud and 17 Again, so we guess he could be just the perfect guy for the story that follows “…the relationship between Julius and Marcus Brutus from childhood to that fateful encounter on the Roman Senate floor.”
Based on Conn Iggulden’s four-part best-selling Emperor book series, the first film will revolve around the rise of a young Julius and his childhood friend Brutus who grew to adulthood in Rome two millennia ago as the Republic began to fall apart and political war was being played out in the senate.
Later books in the series deal with Caesar’s battles in North Africa, Greece, Spain, Gaul and Britain, the civil war with his old ally Pompey, his encounters with Cleopatra and his assassination, so if the first movie turns out to be a success, the plan is (as usual) to forge a trilogy from the four books.

“The Fiance” was originally scripted by Dyanne Stempel and Jennifer Robinson and rewrite of “The Fiance” script is being done by Etan Cohen.
