Ridley Scott is ready to shoot a sequel to Gladiator
Ridley Scott is ready to shoot a sequel to his famous peplum "Gladiator". The British director himself spoke about this in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "I know how to get him back. I had negotiations on this with the studio, but they are sure that he is dead. However, there is a way to get Maximus back. Whether this will happen, I can not say yet. Still" Gladiator "was released in 2000, and Russell has changed a little since then. I heard that he is currently engaged in a project, but I'm trying to get him carried away with my ideas," he said. It should be noted that in the 2000s, the possibility of movieing a sequel to "Gladiator" was seriously discussed. Screenwriter Nick Cave offered a highly exotic version of the plot. So, after his death, Maximus ends up in purgatory, where he meets the Roman gods who are dying from the fact that people have ceased to honor them, preferring a new god that is gaining more and more popularity - Jesus Christ. The gods send Maximus back to find and kill the messiah. Once again on Earth, Maximus learns that Christ is in fact his son, and becomes an eternal warrior who takes part in all the famous wars of mankind. Another scenario was suggested by Ridley Scott himself, but they were all rejected. The Topic of Article: Ridley Scott is ready to shoot a sequel to Gladiator. |
