“Angels in Iron” is a fantastic book on this. A novel. I bought screenwrights and held them for 10 years, til I couldn’t afford them any more. Let them lapse 2 years ago. I have a great script, and had hoped to make a feature film, a la “Magnificent Seven in Iron.”

I’m going to check it out!

One historical film I have enjoyed is Kingdom of Heaven.

I know it’s somewhat dramatized, but it still was pretty good, I thought.

I knew you had the rights. Didn't realize you had let them lapse!

Honestly, the Siege is the kind of thing that could easily work as a movie, or as a TV series. The South Koreans do amazing things with historical TV dramas. If Mel took that approach, it would be absolutely awesome.

If he were to base his series off Angels in Iron, it would be even better. :-)
