Principled Man Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Paul Mescal will be playing Lucius, the son of Lucilla. 2
Principled Man Posted January 8, 2023 Author Posted January 8, 2023 I was blown away by Connie Nielsen as Lucilla. She gave a masterful performance. Even if she were in this film, I wouldn’t go see it. There is simply no good reason to make a sequel, IMO. The story has been told.
invisible airwave Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 It better be more like TG Maverick and BR 2049 in quality and less like those last two Die Hard movies. 1

BigMontanaSKY Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 The original movie did so well at the Box Office, so I don't see why not........

Worked for fellow BP winner The Godfather. The Sting and the nominated Chinatown regarding Two Jakes (albeit underrated) on the other hand... More American Graffiti is the worst offender. Got around to that on Showtime recently and to say it pales in comparison is an understatement. Edited January 19, 2023 by invisible airwave 2
Sonatine Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Scott must be wanting to top up his pension if he wants to revive this 23 year old classic. Is there any real need for a sequel after such a long interval? But then again perhaps it might work out if Scott plays it right, although if it does get released he will be asking critics and audiences.... 2

He was also in Tony Scott's (RIP) last movie, Unstoppable. Edited March 17, 2023 by invisible airwave 1

I'd watch her sit on a park bench or take a nap! Well, not since the court order, of course . . . Seriously, surely there are _new_ ideas floating around, Ridley?

Principled Man Posted July 9, 2024 Author Posted July 9, 2024 After seeing the new trailer for Gladiator II, and with what I know about the plot and characters, I'm giving the film a hard pass. UNORIGINAL. More of the same. Even the poster is plagiarizing the first film. 1
