Gladiator 2 -- Happening! Ridley Scott To Direct (Following Lucius/Son Of Lucilla)

[Peter Popoff]

They were filming it when I was in Malta.

I hate that Scott is doing this, and I hate that Mann is doing Heat 2. We don't need sequels to these films, nor do we need them entered into the "franchise" halls of slop for streaming services. This could have been an interesting, new Roman/gladiator/etc film instead of a sequel. Just like Mann could have simply done a new crime thriller.

Adding to this ...

Ridley Scott sucks.

He directed the first one

He also directed a bunch of bullshyt since.
He's not repeating Gladiator. That was a perfect storm carried by great actors.

He definitely better than Zack Snyder though
