Did anyone ask for this?

I like Pedro, but really, it's like those gay porn stars you suddenly see everywhere and the spark is gone after a month.

 

[DeafTourette]

So this was supposed to have been made a couple of years ago... But the pandemic and the strikes delayed it and increased production costs.

 

[Ristifer]

I'll watch it. At least Maximus is dead, so there won't be any "somehow, Maximus returned" bullshit with a much heftier Russell Crowe coming down from the top rope.

Hey you never know.

They might try to hype up the movie with russel Crowe in it as flashbacks or a guardian ghost giving advice.

In the first movie Crowe had those dreams about his wife. They might do that again with Connie Nielsen or someone dreaming about Crowe.

Rarely anything set during the Roman period is accurate from buildings that didn't exist at the same time to not having date accurate clothing. You always get something set in 200 AD but the armor will be from 300 years earlier because the earlier Roman Centurian just looks cooler. As long its not like a drama I watched where half of London in 1850 appeared to be Chinese then it's fine. As long as it is relatively accurate I don't mind.

It'd be really cool to see a depiction of the 20th century made in the far future where bell-bottomed hippies with puffy white wigs, huge Victorian mustaches and Ray-Ban monocles, roller-skate to work with a disco themed desktop PC strapped to their backs, a Casio calculator on their wrist, and a blunderbuss pistol holstered in their belt which has an iphone as its buckle.

I cant even remember the last time I thought he cared...

Black Hawk Down is the first that springs to mind though

Hey now, as loose as it is. I’d say Kingdom of Heaven is his last great movie, acting is stellar, it’s a visual feast and an audio orgasm for the ears (it’s secretly one of my favorite films of his) Besides who’s to say what happened thousand years ago……

He couldn’t fuck with Black Hawk Down because the events in that movie only happened eight years before the film.

....Ive never seen Kingdom of Heaven

Sad, we can not have a fat Russell Crowe

Ultimate cameo, though obviously not as his original character.

Can have him walk in eating a turkey leg..

I…. I don’t know what to say
It’s all good, you must watch it. Make sure it’s the extended play which clocks in at round 194 minutes or about 3.23 hours lol, totally worth it..

It starts of in between the first and second crusade and the movie basically ends at the start of the second crusade.
I feel the cinematography is off the charts the music and sound design is off the charts and it’s got a long list of stellar actors.
Check it out……. all my opinion of course

I’ll check it out. I’m honestly kinda shocked I’ve never seen it. It sounds awesome.

 

[Arsic]

Denzel? Sold.

 

[Timeless One]

We only have to look at his last film which was complete crap and nonsense and waffling all over the place. No excuses for bad historicity anymore. Real history is a far more interesting story.

I didn't see The Duel because it had gammy looking armour, I'll try and get around to it though at some point.

The Last Duel is a very solid and good movie. You should really watch it

 

[Madflavor]

I want to be excited, but Ridley Scott is SO hit or miss these days.

 

[Raven117]

The shareholders.

Yeah.. well… guess we will find out if anyone else did.

 

[Toons]

Iiic reports are saying that this movie is looking like it's going to be one of the most expensive budgets of the last 10 years or so, at more or less 350 million.

I will be shocked if it ends up being a success regardless of quality. Breakeven point is at almost 800m at that point

One day, AI will be advanced enough to create the true sequel to *Gladiator*, depicting Maximus battling his way out of the depths of the underworld.

[Trilobit]

That one picture looked very good and has that wonderful 50's epic movie feel over it.

That's all I have to say about this.

 

[jufonuk]

Scott’s movies are at least still visually incredible so there’s that.

Shame he seems to have decided to forgo any semblance of a good story in his films lately.

 

[Ikutachi]

Gladiator is my favourite movie of all time; however, Ridley Scott's last few movies besides anything Alien has been, not so good.

I don't know; maybe he's just using his name and previous legacy to make movies and the money that comes with it, since he is getting old. Same thing with Bruce Willis making all the dogwater movies for more money; albeit, Scott doesn't have alzheimers; he is just maximizing his gravitas.

Who would blame him though? He will still be remembered for the OG gladiator movie.

Already old. 86 is an age anyone could drop dead any day.

 

[Braag]

Based on the pics, I'll take a guess:

Pedro = good guy warrior or slave
Denzel = good guy king or politician
That feminine looking actor = bad guy wormy politician

(Pedro also looks like the guy in the old Canadian show The Beachcombers)

Apparently Denzel is just this movies
Proximo. Except he's a rich merchant.

 

[Pagusas]

Prediction: This will be about as good as Twisters.

Such annoyingly pointless sequels.

You missed the main character.

Paul Mescal plays grown up Lucius
