Laughable situation aside, isn't this the same guy who was whining about Marvel movies/superhero movies and why no one wanted to see his recent stream of mediocre movies?

They're cowards for not making the original Gladiator 2, which sounded like some batshit insane God of War stuff

Premise:
After being saved by Maximus in Gladiator, Lucius, the nephew of Commodus, is now a grown man.

Err, hopefully this gets fleshed out a bit more.

That's kinda how movies and premises work

Everything has to be turned into a franchise now.

The original Gladiator movie was this nice combination of historical fiction and fun action spectacular. Just let it go, you'll never recapture the magic of that moment by making a movie that has the same unique feel while making sure the audience is constantly reminded "Remember the thing from the first movie, we did the thing, see?"

Which is basically what all these way-after the fact sequels try to do.

Not particularly surprising that a CEman who claims to understand how movies and premises work doesn't grasp how an obvious joke works.

No. Saw his trailer for Napoleon a few days ago. It looks epic and I don't even like French history

I'm definitely gonna need a long winded breakdown to see any connection between the things you were just weird about.

That would've fucking ruled but the idea hinges completely on the director's vision to pull it off. Finding the right person talented and also actually passionate to do a sequel to friggin Gladiator tho...pfft impossible lmao.

If I'm thinking of the correct thing it involved time travel. And that was enough for me to nope it.

I now want to see Ryan George do a Pitch Meeting for this glorious synopsis.

Writer: "So after Maximus saved him in the last movie, Lucius is now a grown man!"
Producer: "Uh huh, good start. So what else is going on?"
Writer: "That's...that's it, that's all I got so far."
Producer: "That's it?"
Writer: "That's it!"
Producer: "But what about the other characters, is anyone else returning?"
Writer: "Unclear!"
Producer: "I think we need to flesh out this synopsis a little more..."
Writer: "Listen I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about the synopsis!"
Producer: "Okay, lemme get off of that thing!"

A young prince navigating the complex political labyrinth that would be Rome a few decades after a succession crisis and attempted return to republicanism sounds like an interesting story worth telling

And then King Arthur shows up at the end and kills him.

In Le Morte D'Arthur, Arthur and his knights campaign against an ultimately slay a Roman Emperor named Lucius; and since I read that around the same time Gladiator came out, I always wondered if it was supposed to be the same person.

Gladiator didn't need a sequel. I honestly thought it was vastly overrated and Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut was much better. Just focus on a new Alien movie

Maximus wakes up in the underworld. The gods task him with tracking down and killing Hephaestus (I know, Hephaestus is the Greek version) so he can enter Elysium. At the end after he kills him, he's shown eternally involved in future wars like the Crusades and World Wars because he chose armed combat over non-violent resistance, dooming humanity and himself to war.

ngl, I would have watched that shit

completely ruins the vibe of the original imo, but still sounds like insane fun especially if it had a younger russel crowe

That sounds like an awful Gladiator sequel but as an original film that sounds kickass

Reminds me of the movie Legend. Needs Pluto though as the villain.

I'm OK with attempts at sequels.

I can just pretend they don't exist and still love the original just as much.

The Last Duel was solid

It flopped because Hollywood doesn't know how to budget or market anything that's not a franchise anymore

You have no idea how many classic movies have been nade by directors in their 70s and 80s.

Otherwise, you wouldn't make such an ridiculous comment.
