Betrayed by his country. Beaten into slavery. Reborn as a warrior. Spartacus:
Blood and Sand is a graphic and visceral account of Rome’s most famous
gladiator. When he’s separated from the love of his life, Spartacus is
forced into the gruesome and bloodthirsty arena, where a grisly death is
primetime entertainment. Spartacus must fight for survival, befriend his
enemies and play politics in this new world of corruption, violence, sex and
fame. He’ll be seduced by power and tormented by vengeance. But his passion
will give him the strength to prevail over every obstacle, in this modern
and uninhibited tale of death, honor and endurance.
Starring Australian actor, Andy Whitfield (McLeod's Daughters) as
Spartacus, Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) as Lucretia, John
Hannah (The Mummy, Four Weddings and A Funeral) as Batiatus and
Peter Mensah (300, The Incredible Hulk) as Doctore, this unique mix
of live action, graphic novel effects and brutal battle sequences is set to
make Spartacus: Blood & Sand an epic television event.
