Gladiator 2
 

Ridley is still pushing the idea of a Gladiator 2:

It may actually happen this time. I don't think it's the same version he was talking about many years ago where Maximus was fighting on in the afterlife.

I love a good sword 'n sandals flick. Every time a good one comes out I get jazzed and go through everything from Clash of the Titans (all of 'em lol) to the Spartacus show on Starz, Gladiator, etc....

I haven't sat through 300 in a while, but that's because it's oversaturated with grain in HD..... -ahem- :lol:

:P

How many of Roman Senators gonna be Black? :lol:

Also, given Ridley's track record with sequels and prequels...nah...keep him away.

But, if it's happens, at least there is no chance they **** up Maximus, due to obvious reasons.

Barry Keoghan to play the new emperor.

He's always been solid if he has a talented writer or writers. On his own, he has proven over and over again he doesn't understand story. Every once in a while he's given a great script. He can execute a great script and execute it well. He can even make a stupid script at least look like a pretty good movie.

I'm still not very clear on how Russel Crowe fits into this movie. And the small snippets I have read about the "Gladiator Afterlife" and so on do not fit with the themes of the first movie... at all.

He won't be in it at all.

Oh okay well that instantly makes more sense. A long while back I read somewhere that a sequel was going to involve the Gladiatorial after life and so on and it made no sense at all whatsoever.

Yeah, it's really happening. And huh, I didn't realize Denzel was in this.
