Now playing: Spartacus: Blood and Sand — Official Sex and Violence … Umm, Trailer

Spartacus, Starz’s newest original program premieres tonight, January 22 at 10pm. Check out the trailer and revel in what is sure to be an orgy of gratuitous violence and . . . well . . . orgies.

Julina recently spoke with Rick Jacobson, the director of the pilot and episodes 2 and 6, about what we can expect from this series:

“This show is going to be bad-ass. It’s got lot of digital stuff, similar graphic flair of 300 with more in depth, human characters like Gladiator but in its own skin. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are the Executives Producers on it. It’s real cool, hardcore violence, hardcore sex, offering a real cool insight into the kind of raw brutal world of the gladiatorial age all wrapped up in the Spartacus legend.”

Now, I don’t get Starz right now but with a series like this, I might just have to order it. I spoke with Rick extensively about the sex and violence in his new movie, Bitch Slap, a B-movie tribute that’s all boobs, ass and explosions, so I know he’s real about how intense Spartacus: Blood and Sand is.
