Those about to die gay scene
BEVERLY HILLS — “I remember when they sent me the script describing somebody being filled by an ejaculation of flames,’” Neil Gaiman recalled late Wednesday darkness during a panel for the Starz series American Gods. “I’m going, ‘This is beautifully written in the script. Obviously they won't actually do this Only a madman would write this.’”
The British author was referring to a scene from the upcoming episode “Head Full of Snow.” In what might be one of the most explicit gay sex scenes ever shown on television, Salim (Omid Abtahi), a Muslim man from Oman, and the Jinn (Mousa Kraish), a fiery-eyed genie disguised as a taxi driver, make love in a New York hotel room. It begins with full-frontal male nudity, and then the men are shown thrusting in and out of each other, first on a bed and then in a faraway desert — and yes, there is an “ejaculation of flames.”
Showrunners Michael Leafy and Bryan Fuller took extreme care with this strange yet tender moment, as they adapted Gaiman’s seemingly unadaptable novel American Gods, which is about feuding deities who live among men.

What should audiences expect from watching ROAR! A Global Spectacle?
The inspiration behind it is with everything that is happening in the world today. We feel that there's been so much. We're all in a dark place, and there's just so much happening politically and socially. So we wanted to create an opportunity of some sort of escapism for the community. When I talk about the community, I'm talking about everybody all inclusive, a space where people can come and really attend to great music and be able to be entertained and just escape from all the heavy noise that is out there in the world today; just for a little bit so that we can place a little smile on people's faces and create that admire bubble, if you want to call it. That's why I was very, very excited when the Capri Theater approached me. They approached me and said, "Hey, we would like to open our doors for you to come in and for us to be able to join and collaborate and generate this experience, to celebrate Pride, to be able to celebrate just being human, to be able to celebrate
Roland Emmerich directed five episodes; Marco Kreuzpaintner directed the other five. Both halves revolve around exploited people, splashed in blood and body parts.
Those About to Die
All 10 episodes of the limited series debut Thursday, July 18, on Peacock TV. I've seen all 10 episodes.
First published in , Those About to Die, a novel by Daniel P. Mannix, was cited for its 'vivid' prose as it told a tale of the Roman Empire, including details on the 'training of drivers' and 'the betting techniques' of the chariot races that took place at the Colosseum in the late first century.

Created by Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan), who also wrote the first three episodes, as well as the concluding two episodes, the show's tone and approach is established by Roland Emmerich, who similarly directed the first three and the concluding two epis
