To-do list for Agora (film): edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2010-06-08

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Theme and motifs; Meaning of title ("Agora" as a metaphor for the planet, where people from diverse backgrounds "meet", but do not get along, per director/actors); Many critics have noted a similarity, real or imagined, between the aggression and violence of the religious fanatics in the film and that of today's Taliban; Film was screened at the Vatican, add reason and response; DVD release dates? Will it include the full version (director's cut) of the film? Director's vision is for the film to be the first in an ambitious series following an historical arc of astronomical discovery up to the present day.
Cleanup : Plot, and cast section
Copyedit : Plot
Expand : Original length of film (three hours) vs. release edit; Influence of early film style, separation into two parts with an intermission; Why it won't work with modern audiences; Writing process; Marketing in Spain was intense, but absent everywhere else; Character posters associated ideas with main players: Hypatia (Libertad); Davus (Pasión); (Orestes (Poder); Saint Cyril (Ambicion);
Infobox : Add multiple release dates
NPOV : Religious response; Anti-Christian or anti-intolerance? Effect of Christianity on the rights of women, scientific progress. What was the result of this historical event? Discuss absence of evidence for heliocentric model espoused by Hypatia, criticism of slave ownership
Photo : Cast, production, themes; FU rationale
Update : Reception, wide release, is it going to happen? What's the story behind the lack of distribution?
Verify : Claims regarding historical inaccuracies, including status of Library at time of destruction; Confusion over different sources; Cast and crew were of diverse backgrounds, including Jews, Muslims, Christians, and atheists. Heated religious discussions took place and were encouraged on set (per the director).
