Jim Sheridan seems to be getting ready to get back on track after the stupid 50 cent movie. Relativity Media has picked up the rights to Robert Graves brilliant novel I,Claudius for Jim Sheridan to direct. The film is right now in the scripting stages and he will co write it with Nye Heron.

It is a secret autobiography of Claudius, the fourth emperor of Rome, who used his wits and intelligence to survive his murderous family and become one of Rome’s greatest emperors. This is surely going to be something for the fans of the TV series Rome who have just been waiting for something like this.

The news of this project was up for quite sometime now with many big names like Leonardo Di Caprio attached to the project. But nothing really surfaced. So this is surely going to be one of those interesting adaptation that will put the writer Robert Graves on the map.

Jim Sheridan will also direct the Brodre remake with Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman. It is right now in the post production stages.
