Giddy up for the ultimate sin against cinema perfection. The case of Ridley Scott and Gladiator 2 a complete cash cow move. I am the world's greatest Gladiator fan. I've watched it like 55-60 times. I know every characters line. Major to minor. I love Gladiator as much as I love my parents and the Lord. It is like Leonardo Da Vinci creating a second Mona Lisa. Why? Or Van Gogh panting a sequel to the Starry Night. Why? James Joyce writing a sequel to Ulysses. Homer writing a sequel to the Odyssey. You don't ruin storytelling perfection with a sequel. There will be no Hans Zimmer soundtrack and Lady singing in Angel Tongues. This is the soundtrack that us scientists listen to when doing the last edits on our MSc and PhD. No Ridley. No. Every Gladiator fan hates Lucius for betraying Maximus' and Lucilla's mutiny plan. He was the busy little bee remember. Even if they make Lucius the bastard son of Maximus we will all still not be entertained. So please join me in going to watch Joaquin Phoenix rock as Napoleon but please go ban/boycott the CGI vomit that is going to be Gladiator 2 in 2024 which in my words is a sin to the cinema. I sign off with fellow Gladiator and Hans Zimmer fans. And Russell Crowe your ideas for Gladiator 2 is as bad if not worse. Your’e going to fire Judas Iscariot from his one role? The one thing that made him infamous? That if you call someone a Judas they know you mean you are calling them a traitor. If you want to prevent Romans from becoming Christians you have to go forward in time and kill the Emperor Constantine before he became a Christian. If you kill Jesus and the 12 disciples as Maximus, Maximus is no longer Maximus the Brave! He is Maximus the killer of the Son of God and Maximus the Disciple Serial Killer. And you thought Maximus would fight on the side of the US Army in WW2, you are really mistaken. No Russell, Maximus is very Roman. He would be a Nazi general maybe even a Waffen SS general. Why? Because the Nazis and Hitler stole the Wolf head emblem and the Eagle emblem from the Roman Empire. The SS wore black and protected Hitler the Furer. They were his bodyguards. Do you know those guys called the Praetorian guard? That’s why your an actor and not a director or story teller. Stick to the weird atheist retelling of Noah. OK. Signing off now.
