Spartacus: Turbulent Dreams

Spartacus: Turbulent Dreams is an upcoming spinoff of the original Starz television series Spartacus. It will be a mini-series consisting of five one hour episodes, with each episode directed by Guillermo del Toro. The writer of the miniseries' episodes has not yet been revealed but it is speculated he is of Filipino descent and is slated to direct another upcoming TV series called Civil War.

Each episode will feature minimal dialogue. Much emphasis will be placed on scenery and introspective thinking, the former of which will be transformed by thought occuring in the protagonist's mind.

Todd Lasance will reprise his role as Julius Caesar. Monica Belluci is signed on to play a character called 'Mother Earth'. Riz Nayed, whose role is as of yet undisclosed, has been announced as part of the cast.
