Crazy, so crazy it is amazing.

That Gladiator 2 screenplay might be my favorite screenplay of all time. I don't know what logic possessed Hollywood to ask Nick Cave to write a Gladiator sequel, but that is precisely the kind of Gladiator sequel you would expect Nick Cave to write.



But seriously, Scott just needs to give it up. Dude is getting pathetic with holding on to his past glory.

Gladiator 2 Script Review

One of the gathered is JUBA (Djimon Hounsou’s character). They embrace, drink and catch up…Juba listens, dumbfounded. He presents Maximus with a gift: the totemic figurines of Marius and Maria buried at the end of the first film. He recently retrieved them after learning that the Emperor will be flooding the Coliseum for a match involving alligators.

This movie would've been some GOAT level fukkery

fukkery aside, i don;t want any sequel,prequel,sidequel to Gladiator.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

please god no ridley..no..just no.


I'm always down for more Alien fukkery so I have no problem with what he's doing on that front as long as he maintains quality (I loved prometheus despite its flaws) but please don't tarnish Gladiator. I love that film.

Oh hell nawwww... they should leave it the hell alone

 

[Disgustya Stallone]

these hollywood motherless f*cks will never learn

but please don't tarnish Gladiator.

I'm not singling you out, you just happened to be the last post echoing this same sentiment. Serious question: where does this idea that a sequel or remake of a classic can do damage to said classic come from? I genuinely don't get the logic. I'm not asking for, nor have I ever desired, a sequel to Gladiator. But if it happens and it sucks, so be it. I can pop in the Gladiator dvd or catch it on AMC when it's on and still love it regardless.

Prometheus was dope, fukk the haters, btw

A Ridley Scott directed God of War adaptation could be dope, doe
