We need more movies about Julius Caesar

How do we not have several blockbuster movies about this guy?

Forced into exile after his uncle lost a bloody civil war, he leaves the priesthood and joins the military. He loses all his inheritance and status.

You simply can’t ask for a more epic origin story.

From there he becomes a war hero, a rumored lover of a neighboring king, a political mastermind, a husband, a general, and a dictator.

He was a masterful author, tactician, and schemer.

He was frequently in debt, but his charisma and savvy gained him success. He was kidnapped by pirates. He has several wives, and his romantic exploits included Cleopatra and the mother of his own murderer.

Seriously. This needs to be a miniseries or trilogy or something - does anything like this exist??!
