Interview by Paul Salfen
Iwan Rheon (Tenax), Sara Martins (Cala), Gabriela Pessions (Antonia) and Dimitri Leonidas (Scorpus) talk with Paul Salfen about the epic sweeping drama THOSE ABOUT TO DIE.
THOSE ABOUT TO DIE is an epic drama set in the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome never before told — the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most…blood and sport. The series introduces an ensemble of characters from all corners of the Roman Empire who collide at the explosive intersection of sports, politics, and dynasties.
