This film sparked my love for dark fantasy when I was a kid. Couple of months ago they announced this pre order. This was a upgrade from my DVD I bought 20 years ago.

Sparked my interest in Dark Fantasy as a kid, as well. Is this a Bluray boxset, 4K?

That dark queen we've all been seeking.

I had the biggest crush when I was a tot. She was responsible for the recessed, "goth chicks are SO HOT" phase in high school that Fairuza Balk resurfaced in all of us.

I bought it from Diabolik DVD but here is a link with the details,

Looks like a 4K scan for the theatrical release.

As for a phase with goth chicks, I'm still in it since middle school, Black Hair, Blue Eyes, Pale Skin all fishnets. Slap on that Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Ministry, NIN, Depeche Mode, and let me fall in love.

Ah yes, I have this one you linked that I got a while back.

So the other is a limited edition Bluray... sigh, take my money!
 
The big budget will be there, the cinematography will be grand and epic. I'm not expecting a miracle I just hope the story isn't convoluted and full of plot holes, and they get the main casting right. Im not expecting them to get all star performances from the supporting cast like the original, but just make sure everyone fits their roles and the story flows with a steady pace. would be nice because I love action adventure films.

Prometheus and Alien: Covenant would like a word with you

Forced sequel to cater to Nostalgia made in 2022-3 (?) by a director that hasn't done anything nearly as good as the first movie in like 15 years.

Disagree. Scott made a number of terrific movies after Gladiator: Black Hawk Down, American Gangster, Kingdom of Heaven and The Martian. I thought Body of Lies and All the Money in the World were also very good. Scott's problem is that his movies are so uneven, because he's made a couple of turds as well. But despite that, he still has an impressive batting average.
 
No. That was the original idea of Maximus fighting in different wars throughout history, but it was thrown out for being way too far fetched.

Galidator 2 (I doubt it'll be called that) is still going to be a historical drama. It'll just pick up decades after Maximus died. Most likely when Severus Alexander was Emperor.
Yo FUCK. THAT.

Nick Cave script or bust.

The director’s cut of Kingdom of Heaven is so good.

No. FUCK. THAT.

Although it was historically inaccurate, Galidator is still a historical action epic.

This Nick Cave script turns it from a historical epic into an incoherent, comical, lump of shit. It would also be deeply offensive to millions of people.

Fuck that. My cat could.come up with a better script than this piss-poor Nick Cave effort.

He also made a number of stinkers after Galidator, such as: A Good Year, Hannibal, Exodus, Robin Hood, Prometheus and Alien Covenant.

Ridley Scott is one of the biggest hit or miss directors of all time. I look forward to the Last Duel, plus a Galidator sequel and Kitbag, but I'm not confident they'll all be decent films.

Tag, you're it.

"THR has confirmed that the sequel will follow Lucius, the son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) and the nephew of the villainous Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), who looked up to Maximus and helped to honor him by carrying his body after his death."

I figured you would just do some unconnected story. There was an illiterate 8 foot scithian that was emperor for a couple years.
