Whod play Aeneas?
ED: Now, if I answer that one, I could piss off a lot of people, I know. Seriously, I think a lot of actors could do it. I loved Russell Crowe in “Gladiator,” but I’m afraid he’d say, ‘been there, seen it, done that.’ Actually, you know who intrigues me is Tom Cruise. He’s older, more mature now. He brings a lot of gravitas to the screen that I don’t think he has been allowed to engage fully. I saw some of it in “Last Samurai” – which I loved. I’d like to see what Mel Gibson could bring to Aeneas. Of course, there’s Christian Bale or Hugh Jackman.
