all of the editing on this film is suspect. I've heard of a gay kiss that was removed. Now this

On the one hand, that’s weird, on the other it’s fucking ridley scott. His final cuts are infamous, for one reason or another. He’ll come out with a director’s version, with the subtext being it’s the producer’s fault.

I just don’t understand how a director of his reputation doesn’t just get the green light from hollywood to do what he wants, but then I see the slop that’s in mainstream theaters and realize they’re not the brightest bunch

It could be capitalism. People watch a movie because ridley Scott. Same people buy the directors cut because ridley Scott

Hell even Spielberg does whatever the fuck he wants and gloats about it to their face.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Oh yeah this is the next film in the Gladiator Cinematic Universe. Gladiator 3: The Gladiators and the Furious will be out in 2026. Gladiator 4: Still Gladiating is slated for winter 2028.

That's fake news, stop spreading false rumors. The next sequel has already been greenlit.

3 Gladiator 3 Furiosa will integrate The Gladiators into the Mad Max Cinematic Galaxy.

Honestly, I'd like it if Hollywood went back to making a lot of cheesy historical genre pieces, better than Marvel slop. We should have a series of highly anachronistic adaptations of Greek mythology where some hunky dude fights a claymation cyclops! I want Perseus with a robot owl goddammit!

Grabbing the lathe and envisioning a post credits scene where a digitally de-aged Russel Crowe meets the new generation of Gladiator main character and looks directly into the camera and says "Are you not entertained?" then a rolling drum beat before it goes to black.

[–] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nah that's lame. There should be a scene where the Gladiator (whoever they fuck he is this movie) dies but gets resurrected by Mars and given a glowing death sword and told he needs to kill the 10 greatest Gladiators of all time, every one has a theme, like there's a poison dart one and one who... idk he throws giant axes or some shit, and he has to come up with a clever way to beat each one.

So basically a sci-fi Ninja Scroll?

A good remake of Jason and the Argonauts would fuckin rule so much

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

Don't give them ideas, you know it's impossible they don't botch it.

[–] kittin@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

Gladiator vs Predator would actually be bad ass

[–] Spike@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

You're forgetting the gladiator prequel in 2029 "Maximus: A Gladiator Story" before the remake reboot in 2030 "Gladiator" which claims to be faithful to the original story after the last 2 films had underperformed

Followed by 6ladiator: the Reckoning

And Ralph Cifaretto isn't even around to see it

Hey, Ridley. Big fan. Don't mind this guy, that's just my friend Gerry the Clown. I'm sorry both your brothers died, one of a tragic suicide that left you grief-stricken. And, I really like the good movies you've made, and even some of the bad ones. I mean, Alien, Blade Runner, the original Gladiator? All fantastic stuff. And some of your later movies are alright too. I mean, I like Prometheus. And The Last Duel was just an all around solid picture. And there's more, too many to list here in a way that would be entertaining to read, that I think range from very good movies to serviceable watches. All around a body of work to be proud of.

But Gerry's going to beat you to death with his big clown hammer now. Shame.gif

We can't have Palestinians represented on screen, people might start viewing them as human beings. 😡

[–] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

I was looking forward to Gladiator 2 (fake sea battle) but all the news like this has been eh.
