Gladiator 2

I just can't see a sequel really working especially with the way Gladiator ended.

Plus Commodus was the only one who "fought" in the ring, it kind of removes the plot point about becoming a gladiator otherwise.

Hate that Fred heiscgher he's everywhere. Hell him pedro Joseph and Paul are everywhere. Fred replaced Barry keoghan after he dropped out.

Why is Connie Nielsen still alive and what's the og boy doing now (wasn't he in Unbreakable, Glass, Animal Kingdom, etc?)
 
Honestly I didnt like the first Gladiator beyond the visuals. The plot was obnoxiously melodramatic anne frankly badly structured, the characters were barely more than cardboard cutouts with only a few rising to two dimensional, the acting was either tired or hammy, the dialogue was downright embarrassing most of the time, and any affection I had for the soundtrack has long since faded as it was whored out for literally thousands of documentaries or trailers for decades. Finding out it was near universally held as a masterpiece has never ceased to confuse me.

That its getting a WEWUZ sequel twenty years later feels like an extremely amusing punchline to a joke I never really understood

Also can pedro pascal just fuck off like sam worthington already?

EDIT: ok so apparently there is a scene where they flood the colliseum and release a bunch of fuckin sharks in the water....

....on the one hand this is literally the stupidest fucking thing that has ever gone in any historical movie ever

.... but on the other hand it raises the possibility there will be a scene where some female villain or minion gets eaten by a shark after fighting one of the niggertagonists, who then looks at the camera and says "SHEEIT, I'M GLAD-HE-ATE-HER", upon which another niggertagonist replies "I'M GLAD-HE-ATE-HER TOO NIGGA!" which will literally redeem not only this movie, but my disappointment in the first movie, and indeed the entire negro race in my eyes

He worships niggers like most other Kavinsky kin in the (((west))) where nigger worship is mandated and every single ad is african. Remember Alien Covenant when he had a nigger and a White woman fuck in the shower? Remember in Prometheus when he had a different nigger fuck a different White woman? The predictable propaganda pairing. Iudea Delenda Est.

Don't forget that Covenant also had a faggot couple. On a colonization mission. Where people are expected to reproduce. Yet they allowed two faggots who can't reproduce to go along.

But it was the Christian couple (another mixed-race pair, btw) who were considered the "risky weirdos" by the company...

A good writer could make that work (explain that they're expendable and have already been priced out of the genetic profile of the colony.)

Covenant did not have a good writer.

They literally restore the Republic at the end or something. The movie traded on being a sword and sanfmdal spectacle movie throwback, that's all it had going for it- and frankly that's all it needed.

Never watch it on the small screen though, without the wow factor it's total dogshit.

Gladiator never needed a sequel and of course idea bankrupt hollywood green lights one now. That being said, a sequel was pitched around a year after the first by Ridley, the writers of the movie and even Russell Crowe himself who asked his friend, musician and actor Nick Cave to write a screenplay for the sequel.
What resulted was a completely batshit crazy story of Maximus being separated from his family in Elysium when he is summoned by the Roman gods to go on a Roman God of war adventure killing other gods and deities for his freedom, but then after that he is reincarnated as a christian in Rome and has to kill the new Emperor who is Commodus's nephew, and after THAT he is then cursed with immortality by the gods to fight in every war and conflict in history like Quantum Leap for all-time.
The whole screenplay can be read below. An absolutely bonkers story that obviously is superior than the sequel we got. Even the inevitable Metatron video will be more entertaining than the sequel.

I knew a sequel to Gladiator was almost an inevitability, but what happened to it following Djimon Honsou's Juba? He's apparently not even in the movie, which is super weird.

Can you believe the first film came out 24 years ago? My God.

I just can't get over Denzel and his constant cackling. And Pedro Pascal is beyond played-out at this point.

At least Peter Mensah is in this. I still cannot believe he was replaced in the Dead Space remake.
