After the release of Gladiator I was asked by the publisher to update the original book. I was delighted because in the nearly a decade since the first one so many of the Italian films became available for me to watch in good copies. Of course I would have included Alexander and Troy had the book come out a few years later. I didn't include the Conan films because I have always considered them part of the Sword and Sorcery trend and not really Peplum. But that's just my preference. I doubt the publisher will ask me to update the book a third time. I do have a new book called Hollywood and the Bible which should be out later this year.

Needs updating for more...It's a very good book. Needs updating for more recent titles like ALEXANDER, TROY (complete review) or 300. It would give the book a greater scope. I also think CONAN THE BARBARIAN should have been included (sequel and RED SONJA). If GOLIATH AND THE VAMPIRES made it, CONAN should also be there. But those are minor quibbles. As for the price, I know this is out of your hands. PEPLUM books aren't cheap. lol.PEPLUM TVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737965370930852596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-21951339328845921822021-08-04T11:26:17.343-04:002021-08-04T11:26:17.343-04:00I agree with your opinion on almost every book you...I agree with your opinion on almost every book you list here. And thank you for the nice mention of my book Epic Films. At one point I was going to write a book just about Arabian Nights movies but never got around to it. Also my definition of Peplum is much narrower than yours. I know, pricey. But I had no control over that. It did come out as a less expensive paperback. I'm glad you like my book. It was a labor of love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
