Attila promises drama,big battles
By Chelsea J. Carter The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — In high school, screenwriter Bob Cochran was fascinated with Attila the Hun. So when his agent called years later with the chance to write a four-hour miniseries on the warrior, Cochran jumped at it.
His *Attila*, a two-part miniseries on the USA
network reminiscent of *Gladiator* and *Braveheart*, airs Jan. 30 to 31, at 8 p.m. CST.
The collision of their two worlds is at the heart of the miniseries, which climaxes at the Battle of the Chalons, the outcome of which helped decide the fate of Western Civilization.
"The challenge was capturing the mythic proportions of Attila and the history of Rome, and at the same time capturing the story of the two men at the center of it all," Cochran said.
While Cochran takes historic liberties with the story, the result is a grand epic production that has something for everyone — romance, jealousy, greed, betrayal, sex and, of course, bloody battles.
Both Butler and Boothe shine in the miniseries' small moments, but it's the big moments that make the miniseries — from the Huns' brutal attack on a helpless village to the battles against the Romans.
The story follows Attila (Gerard Butier) and Roman general Flavius Aetius (Powers Boote), two men who represent their respective worlds in the fifth century.
Aetius, on the other hand, represents the best and worst of Rome before its fall. He plots to kill the emperor because he believes he's the only man who can save Rome. But to accomplish his task he must give up the thing he loves most — his daughter — to save his country.
Often cast in history as a mindless plunderer, Cochran's Attila is a visionary who sees more in the Huns than they see in themselves.
