"Gladiator" Ridley Scott was hardly the biggest film of 2000. The epic picture of the former Ancient Roman head, and now the Gladiator Maximus in the performance of Russell Crowe collected an impressive $ 460 million in global boxes, as well as a whole bouquet of Oscars, including in the categories "Best Movie", "Best Male Role" and "Best Special effects. " Because in the final of the film, the main character dies, the question about Sicvel has not been standing for a long time, but now the situation has changed. About the intentions of Scott to remove the continuation became known as a couple of years ago, and now the producers of the upcoming paintings by Lori McDonald and Walter F. Parks confirmed that the work on the project is going on.
We work with Ridley. This is the project to which we did not want to start until we feel the feeling that it is reasonable. Now we also cooperate with a magnificent screenwriter in the face of Peter Craig,
- said McDonald in a conversation with Heyuguys. Parks added to this:
The action of the new film will unfold after 30 or 25 years after the events of the original picture.
The news about the sequel, which will be released more than twenty years after the first part, may seem shocking, but for Scott it is not new. After removing in 1979, "someone else's", the director for a long time remained away from the numerous sequels of his religious horror film, but in 2011 he took up the creation of the "Prometheus" prequel, and after six years later released Sikvel "Alien: Testament".
Due to the death of Maximus, it was assumed that in the center of "Gladiator 2" will be already another hero, but in 2017 Scott hinted that the character of Russell Crowe could somehow "rebel from the dead." However, it is still unknown whether this idea remains in force and whether Crowe will really come back to his Oscar-eyed role in the coming sequel.
