Probably the most famous year in English History would make a tremendous film: 1066. It would be either a tremendous success or an astronomical failure.

I can picture the opening scene with the death of Edward the Confessor. Flash backs to the early meeting of Harold and William the Bastard. Closing scenes of the coronation of William at Westminster, with riots in the streets and loads of battle scenes in between. Of course the language would be Old English, Norman French and Norse. Subtitles would be essential.

Like I said it would be a tremendous success or an astronomical failure.
