Betrayed by the Romans. Forced into slavery. Reborn as a Gladiator. The classic tale of the Republic’s most infamous rebel comes alive in the graphic and visceral new series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment. But not all battles are fought upon the sands. Treachery, corruption, and the allure of sensual pleasures will constantly test Spartacus. To survive, he must become more than a man. More than a gladiator. He must become a legend.
Starring Australian actor, Andy Whitfield (McLeod's Daughters) as Spartacus, Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) as Lucretia, John Hannah (The Mummy, Four Weddings and A Funeral) as Batiatus and Peter Mensah (300, The Incredible Hulk) as Doctore, this unique mix of live action, graphic novel effects and brutal battle sequences is set to make "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" an epic television event.
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"It's deliciously, marvelously bad (...) It's also just about the grimiest, nastiest, bloodiest thing you could hope to find on TV" (Hank Stuever: The Washington Post) ----------------------------------------
"A slashing look at Roman warfare that trades on Zack Snyder's 300 but has deeper roots in the Xena and Hercules shows produced by Sam Raimi" (Ken Tucker: New York Magazine) ----------------------------------------
"There is a story buried underneath the breasts, blood and obscenities, but it doesn't much matter (...) Still, there's no denying that Spartacus does what it sets out to do fairly well" (Robert Bianco: USA Today) ----------------------------------------
"Spartacus is an exercise in some of the worst writing, acting and directing you'll ever see (or not)" (Tim Goodman: San Francisco Chronicle) ----------------------------------------
