“Glory” director Ed Zwick is busy these days. He’s got a new memoir out, plus I’m told he’s signed up to direct a real life “Game of Thrones.”

Sources say “Death of Kings” will likely have Denzel Washington and Sir Ben Kingsley head up a big all star cast in a movie based on Bernard Cornwell’s best selling historical fiction.

The book was already part of a miniseries based on Cornwell’s six book series. But nwow “Death of Kings” will get a whole film just to itself. What’s it about? Wikipedia says “It continues the story of Saxon warlord Uhtred of Bebbanburg who resists a new Danish invasion of Wessex and Mercia.” Whatever that means. So far, no dragons have been mentioned.

Zwick’s book, “Hits, Flops, and Other Things” is already a hit, telling stories about the director’s “fortysomething” years making tough films like “Courage Under Fire,” “Blood Diamond,” and “Traffic,” and drowsily sentimental TV shows like “thirtysomething,” “Family,” “Once and Again,” and “My So Called Life.”
