Nick Cave reveals in detail the original script of Gladiator 2, the sequel to the classic that will be released in theaters later this year!
One of the most anticipated releases of the year, Gladiator 2 will bring the return of Ridley Scott in the direction and features well-known faces in the cast, such as Paul Mescal in the role of the protagonist Lucio. Since the film is scheduled for release later this yearThey still have no way of knowing how the story will unfold completely, however it is possible to know how the plot ALMOST developed in the mind of the musician and writer Nick Grotta: the screenwriter’s initial plan was to get the return of Russell Crowe like Massimo!
In a participation in the foreign podcast What the hell with Marc MaronCave has given more detailed revelations about his initial idea for Scott’s project and his entire involvement in it. And it all happened with a simple phone call from Russell Crowe. As Cave himself says, Crowe “He finally called me and asked if I wanted to write Gladiator 2 (laughs) and for someone who had only written one movie script, that was a pretty big ask.”
During the call, Cave asked if Russell had died in the first film, which Crowe confirmed by saying: “Yes, but you solve it”. And Cave has decided in an exaggerated way, among other things, he resurrected Maximus, making him immortal and involving Jesus Christ. No, you didn’t read that wrong!
How would Jesus have had a connection with Maximus?
