On July 9, Gladiator 2 finally revealed its much-anticipated first images, sparking as much excitement as fear. However, we cannot ignore the fact that the action was taken care of by Ridley Scott, who promised us absolutely Dante series.
Enter the arena!
The director confirmed this in the columns of the magazine Empire : “The film opens with probably the biggest action scene I’ve ever done. It might be bigger than I’ve ever done. Napoleon“– assured Ridley Scott.
Then the filmmaker talked about the use of new technologies for filming this sequel. For the British it is a must “Take computerization and artificial intelligence. I can have a computer read all the molecules and wrinkles of a rhinoceros, then cut them out on a thick piece of plastic, just like the body of a rhinoceros, which is then cut to shape it. A skeleton.he confided.
Ridley Scott points to the arena in one of the scenes seen in the trailer, in which a fighter enters riding on the back of a rhinoceros. The impressive trailer also showed an underwater arena to simulate naval battles, with the presence of sharks in the water.
Have fun with Ridley!
We feel that the director has had fun with digital special effects to offer an even grander spectacle than in the first film, at a time when technology was still limited. In any case, Ridley Scott’s comments echo those of Mark Vianney, president of international distribution at Paramount Studios.
On June 19, Gladiator 2 released a few images as part of the CineEurope event, a massive European exhibition in Barcelona. According to Variety , Paramount offered some excerpts to those present at the scene. Mark Vian excited the public with his promise “The Greatest Action Scenes Ever Made for a Motion Picture”. Only this!
Let us remind you that Gladiator 2 will be directed by Paul Mescal, who will direct the costume of Lucius, son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) and nephew of Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix in the first film).
A young man who admires the career of Maximus (Russell Crowe) follows in the footsteps of his famous boss. Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington are also there. The film will be released in theaters on November 13.
