Ya that premise totally takes a dump on the legacy of Gladiator.

Ummm...how about Hollywood doesn't bastardize another modern classic and do an original movie?

I thought Ridley Scott's Robin Hood was sort of an attempt to make a Gladiator sequel, heh.

Yeah, why not just make another film set in ancient Rome? I hope to god they don't actually try to resurrect Maximus.

Smh

Love Gladiator, I watched it twice at the theater opening weekend and it's aged well, can turn it on in the middle and still enjoy it to this day.

Having said that, bringing back Maximus is ridiculous, it's a standalone film, let it be, but turning the character into some fantasy/mythical sort is beyond retarded. Cave should be kicked in the nuts until he's unconscious for even mouthing such a shitty idea.

The suggested end sounds like a mild rip-off of the opening scene of X-Men Origins: Wolverine with a Cartaphilus/Wandering Jew-esque twist. All in all, I'm disgusted 10/10 for this film idea.

Why not ?? Let it happen.

C'mon Quan. KMC needs to unite against this. That way, if and when it happens, we can all remember fondly how stupid we said it was.

Yep, Gladiator doesn't need to go into a god of war/gods of Egypt/dante's inferno type of setting. He got his revenge and changed the empire, let it be done.

It befuddles me how this is even in consideration. There could be no better example of a critically-acclaimed, commercially-successful, audience-loved movie with a such a tragic main character that ends up dying in the end as Maximus. That's it. End-o-story.

I think the article is fake in the sense that it's not current.
I heard about Cave's script over 15 years ago.

There was never any mention of Christ.
Maximus finds himself in Hades & battles the demon hordes to escape.
He becomes the God Of War on Earth doomed to fight in every major war is throughout history.
The movie/script ends with Maximus at the helm of a huge "star destroyer" in space surrounded by thousands of enemy ships.

I like Cave's scripts & music & thought his collaboration with Scott was crazy enough to work.

there is no need for a sequel

Please no.

Because the proposed idea sounds like a pile of shit. Rather have the very talented director do something that is not a pile of shit.

Let's hope he forgets about this idea and doubles down and continues his Alien franchise ASAP while he's still alive.

Let's hope he makes Covenant really good. An not just a rehash of his 1979 hit movie.

I hate to break it to you, but I fear you will undoubtedly find it to be very reminiscent of the original Alien because think about what Alien was: it was a B-movie horror flick set in space with amazing production design, with A+ production design. It was a B-movie premise treated like an A production and it also included some clever writing that elevated it a little bit also. That's what Ridley Scott does, he makes spectacular productions and he likes to mix in some loftier ideas where he can. And it looks as if Covenant won't have a much different premise. It's still a pretty B-movie premise that might try to sneak in some loftier ideas that aren't usually in most B-movies. Prometheus had those loftier ideas and many people still bitched about it. Prometheus was sort of an attempt to take the B-movie out of the B-movie premise, sort of give it a bit more of an intellectual spin, still keep that amazing production design and some thrills, but also have more underlying ideas. And everyone bitched. So he's probably going back a bit more to the violent horror roots of the series, at least with the ads. But if what we hear is correct it's supposed to be a good mixture of violent horror and some grand scale.
