The original Gladiator is a sublime piece of cinema that intricately weaves themes of revenge, honor, and political intrigue throughout its narrative, enrapturing a generation of post-Millenium audiences. Yet a return to Maximus' (Russell Crowe) enduring legacy seems particularly bold given the original, standalone feature earned over $400 million worldwide and was nominated for 11 Oscars, winning Best Picture and Best Actor respectively in 2000, and seemingly ended on a definitive note. Original Gladiator director Ridley Scott seems dead set on reviving his great Roman drama, with the veteran filmmaker confirming via Empire Magazine that his attention will turn to a Gladiator sequel after his latest project, the Napoleon-based Kitbag, is completed. Talk of a newly completed Gladiator sequel script has surfaced once again - but Gladiator 2 should never see the light of day.
