Rudin picks up 'Claudius' film rights


September 06, 2007 Pictures, in a deal worth seven figures, producer Scott Rudin has pick up the film rights to Robert Graves' Roman Empire-set novel, "I, Claudius." If that takes place, the adult-oriented project most likely would land at the studio's specialty films division Miramax or its Touchstone Pictures label. The novel previously was adapted into the 1937 film of the same name, directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Charles Laughton as the beleaguered emperor.
