Ridley Scott reveals that Gladiator II, which releases this November, opens with 'probably the biggest action sequence' he's ever done.
“We begin the film with probably the biggest action sequence I’ve ever done,” Scott said. “Probably bigger than anything in Napoleon.”
Addressing how Gladiator II will utilize different kinds of technology that weren’t available when the original Gladiator, released in 2000, came out, Scott said, “Computerisation and AI — you have to embrace it. I can have a computer read every molecule and wrinkle on a rhino and then cut it on a thick piece of plastic, absolutely as a rhino’s body, which is then tailored to a skeleton shape.
Along with Mescal and Pascal, the upcoming sequel stars Connie Nielsen as Lucilla, Denzel Washington as Macrinus, Joseph Quinn as Emperor Geta, Fred Hechinger as Emperor Caracalla, and Derek Jacobi as Senator Gracchus.Brandon Schreur has been writing about comics, movies, television shows, and all things pop culture for roughly five years. He's a lifelong cinephile who spends way, way too much money buying Blu-rays and trade paperbacks. You can find him on twitter at @brandonschreur.
