Gladiator fans: There's going to be a sequel!

[Xstatic1]

From Hollywood.com:
Russell Crowe has confirmed he and director Ridley Scott are plotting to bring his Gladiator character back from the dead in a sequel to the hit 2000 epic.

Crowe's character Maximus was killed off at the end of the first movie, but that's just a small detail as Scott and Crowe plan ahead.

The actor reveals, "We talk about it every now and then. We did kind of make it tricky for ourselves, considering we killed the character at the end of the first one. But that's not necessarily going to stop us.

"There have been stranger things happen out of Hollywood... There's a sort of ?What happens in the after-life?? question."

Last month, Scott too revealed he is planning a Gladiator sequel.

if it really is coming out, I will see it no matter what.

gladiator kicked so much ass that regardless of what they do to the sequel, you have to see it.

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
:roll:

Lame. Gladiator was awesome, bringing him "back to life" for a sequel is stupid.

Prequel might work, but sequel? meh

 

[Rebasxer]

I hope it's back to life in a way that sorts of God of War-esque

 

[yowolabi]

Haha. Only in Hollywood could killing the main character only "make it tricky" for that same character to have further adventures.

I think people have had quite enough of the whole prequel thing, though i suppose done well it could work.


"Honnneeyy! i'm Back!!!"
"oh Maximus"

i liked the movie because it was in a way realistic of what went on during that time...and i can see how it might work by tapping into the roman mythology surrounding death and the afterlife...


but i think id much rather have a prequel...maybe of his ascention in the ranks of a roman legion.....

When they did a Darkman sequel, they brought back a villian that was blown up in a helicoptor in the first movie. They really, really don't care as long as there's the possibility of dollar signs at the end

?

I'll probably just skip this one and go see Frank Miller's "300" instead.
