Backfire is right it was fluke to win an award, but i doubt it will be forgotten. Everytime we here about Russel Crowe I'm sure they'll mention Gladiator and the Academy award. BTW I will say that Road to Perdition took a similar storyline and added alot of new plot to an old idea.

So he returned to the Alien franchise to ruin it, and now he'll return to Gladiator to ruin it? The circle is complete.
Jk, I haven't seen Alien: Covenant yet, but heard enough to know that it was a hot mess.

Good F-ing Lord. How old is the Glads movie now? And as far as I recall... it was Ok at best. It weren't not Braveheart which it really wanted to be.

Exactly. Well, it was worse than that with the Alien franchise, because he started his return with Prometheus which actually showed promise of fantastic imagination and then he just killed it completely with Covenant. It was a massive cock-tease. I hate to be so rude, but at this point I think it would be better if he'd just die. He's old as fu#k. I really think he's gone senile, at least creatively.

Gladiator and Braveheart are both good.

I think you just said the opposite of what you wanted to say, Gladiator is better than Braveheart.

Love the first, it's one of those films I can flip to and enjoy if it's already started. But I see no reason for a sequel, Maximus' story was told and it ended.
I'd prefer Ridley just make another standalone Roman epic film. So much history/figures to draw from. Could even set the foundations for a trilogy, if the story is expansive enough.

Nick Cave (singer/writer) wrote a movie script for G2 years ago.
I personally thought it was so ludicrous, it verged on amazing!
Maximus is sent to Hades after his death. He wrecks so much havoc, he is cast out & emerges as Ares, the God Of War...cursed to forever fight in the wars humanity waged on each other.
Maximus is doomed never to die & finds himself complicit to every major war throughout history.
Apparently the final scene has Maximus standing on the deck of a huge warship in space about to go into battle...

It's not a "recent' script.
I heard that about a year or two after Gladiator was released...
