There is a long thread on the subject of Hollywood and Owain Glyndwr here:- http://americymru.ning.com/forum/topics/2111712:Topic:282 Personally i would love to see a biopic of John Rees. Theres a review of 'The Man From The Alamo' here:- http://americymru.blogspot.com/2008/03/man-from-alamo-by-john-humphries_19.html

Can anyone tell me why Hollywood ignores Wales?

We had Captain Morgan and Black Bart the two most succesful Pirates of all time. No film. There's Owain Glyndwr, Gitto neath Fawn, then the Merthyr riots, Newport riots, Tonypandy riots and the Rebecca riots. As well as Prince Madog who lended in the USA three hundred years before that Christopher bloke.

Arthur is never Welsh in any films, what about the Mabinogion?

I can go on, but this soap box is to high and I'm getting gidy.

Help?
