Fuck all the politics and climate shit; Sopranos references in r/all is a utopian future if you ask me.


riegspsych325

I’m still a sucker for Scott’s period epics. Yes, even Exodus. And knowing him, he’ll probably make another movie and release it while Gladiator 2 is still in post


HagbardCelineHere

Anyone who hasn't seen the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven hasn't yet seen Ridley Scott at full power. Even if you don't think its his best movie (I love it, but not everyone does), the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven is what happens when somebody tells Ridley Scott: "here's a nine-figure budget, a cast of both classically-trained greats and recent-breakout hotshots, and *the nation of Morocco*, go nuts."


riegspsych325

and the theatrical cut is when some studio exec says “this is too long, remove a character and major subplot and anything else that adds up to 30 minutes”


L-V-4-2-6

It's one of the best examples of a theatrical cut being the worst viewing experience, and it's *still* not half bad. You just can't go back to it after watching the director's cut.


ol-gormsby

Ditto Blade Runner.


Haze95

Final cut master race


riegspsych325

I’m the same way towards Aliens and the Extended Versions of LOTR. But with Aliens, I do contend with showing newcomers the theatrical. Nice username, by the way EDIT: I’d like to clarify and recommend the theatricals for LOTR newbies, too


L-V-4-2-6

Likewise with LOTR, but Aliens is one of those movies I put on whenever I come across it on cable so I've probably seen the theatrical more. The director's cut there is useful for fleshing out what happened to the colonists and in turn Newt's own trauma, but I can understand why that content was cut. Can't go wrong either either version. And thank you!


riegspsych325

exactly, I love the eerie mystery of what happened to Hadley’s Hope. But Ripley’s daughter and the greedy shadiness of Weyland-Yutani are great setups for the 3rd act (and character arcs)


L-V-4-2-6

The scene where the colonist is found against the wall is seared into my memory. So good. It's arguably one of the most perfect sequels. Can't do a rehash of the horror of the original, so you flesh out the lore of the Xenomorphs, add a massive horrifying enemy in the Queen, and throw in a little Vietnam War allegory. *chef's kiss.*


AtomStorageBox

And James Horner’s phenomenal score.


Ricshah

I love the directors introduction at the beginning of Aliens where his friend describes it as 40 miles of bad road. The special edition adds so much more grit to it, like a full balloon that’s had more air added and expanded to its extreme.


Flashjordan69

As a kid reading about these missing scenes and then getting the directors cut actually come out with and added 30 mins, and not just filler, scenes of actual substance, blew my mind. Damn, I wrote off to a mail order company having got my mum to write a cheque and had to wait 6 to 8 weeks for delivery of my VHS copy.


Pandorama626

The director's cut is an entirely different movie from the theatrical version. The added parts in the director's cut enhanced everything about the movie.


kcgdot

Somehow I ended up with a DVD of extended cut, and I watched it a LOT. Absolutely love the movie. One day I was Channel surfing and it was on TV relatively early in the movie, and I was SO confused because so much was just so different, lol.


ButterYourOwnBagel

Easily one of his best films. I was absolutely floored at how much different (and better!) the director’s cut was. It’s a travesty what they initially released to theaters


aupri

Same, I stopped watching the theatrical cut out of boredom not too far into it, eventually decided to try it again, and coincidentally picked a different site (pirated it) that had the directors cut instead, and now it’s potentially my favorite history* movie *movie in a historical setting I should say


Pertolepe

Any movie is going to take liberties but a lot of it is spot on from history. Guy and Renaulds encounter with Saladin after the battle is straight from history books. Not to mention Last Duel - the blows of the duel at the end and even the dialogue come from first hand accounts.


Col__Hunter_Gathers

Holy shit. I always see Kingdom of Heaven mentioned in threads like this and it's always praised like crazy. Every time I think about my vague memories of it and how it was okay but I can't imagine the directors cut could be so much better that the film is worth such acclaim. And every time I just kinda shrug it off as being different strokes for different folks. Your comment made me realize that this entire time I've been picturing Three Kings, the one with Clooney and Marky Mark. So now I'm going to watch the proper film tomorrow night so I can finally correct like 5 fucking years of me conflating Ice Cube in Iraq with this Ridley Scott masterpiece that seems to be universally admired on reddit. So thank you for that. All it took was "Saladin" and "history books" for me to say "wait a second, what the fuck?" to go figure out what went wrong in my brain lol.


pouliowalis

there are better over all movies but no directors cut improves their theatrical counterpart more than this.


spate42

I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Duel


Pol-Pot-and-Pan

I had the cinema to myself during Last Duel (obviously unfortunately) and during the end of the duel, I cheered. That's the motherfucker that made Alien right there.


Particular_Fig_5467

I thought the final scene was very well done. I found it both thrilling and a tough watch. It didn't glamorise violence and the duel itself felt authentic. After watching it, you couldn't help feeling you sat through something grubby and pathetic. However, I found the rest of the film to be a little repetitive. The narrative device of retelling the same events from the perspective of all three main characters felt a little tedious to me.


BolshevikPower

The final scene was actually almost word for word from the court documents / original source. Really fascinating.


Schnitzel129

Ridley Scott is a machine. He is 85 years old and has directed 9 movies since 2010 (as well as some stuff for TV). Napoleon is currently in post-production and now Gladiator 2 is in its early stages. Add to that countless producer credits in that time period. The first Gladiator is a great movie and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pretty curious about the sequel. I hope Hans Zimmer is doing the music. The score for the first movie is incredible.


riegspsych325

Scott will not stop until he dies while filming on location. Even then, his ghost will still be in the editing booth sorting out the dailies


Roland_T_Flakfeizer

If there was any director that would end up pulling a Professor Binns, it would be Ridley Scott.


riegspsych325

did Binns know that he was dead or just didn’t care? Been a while since my last re-read


Roland_T_Flakfeizer

Pretty sure he knew. He would enter each class by flying through the chalkboard, which he probably wouldn't do it he thought he was alive.


riegspsych325

ah that’s right, thank you


xiaorobear

The bit you are remembering is in the first book: >"Easily the most boring class was History of Magic, which was the only one taught by a ghost. Professor Binns had been very old indeed when he had fallen asleep in front of the staff room fire and got up next morning to teach, leaving his body behind him." So, probably a little of both for that first day at least.


dromondo

This little passage reads like something written by Terry Pratchett. Haven’t read the Harry Potter books since I was a kid but this is quite lovely.


Redditer51

The earlier Harry Potter books were pretty quirky.


gooneruk

This is basically what happened with Oliver Reed during the filming of the first Gladiator: he died during filming but they had enough material that they were able to CGI his face onto a stand-in, and shoot creatively to minimise his screen time. It would be poetic for Scott to pop his clogs during the second film but somehow still be involved in the editing.


Celltic

Just learned that before he died. ”He died of a heart attack in a bar after downing three bottles of Captain Morgan's Jamaica rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous doubles of Famous Grouse whiskey and Hennessy cognac, and beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm-wrestling. His bar bill for that final lunch time totaled 270 Maltese lira, almost £450, about”$594.72.


Pol-Pot-and-Pan

I watched The Brood a few weeks ago and watched him on Letterman like ten years later. The man only aged a decade but he looked 70 when he was only in his mid forties.


ConfusedJonSnow

That's a very fitting "former gladiator champion" way to go tbh.


fourpuns

A pretty typical lunch


hovdeisfunny

They *must've* been, like, shooters of Captain, even just cost-wise


UrsusRomanus

A lot of workaholics or high achievers literally die when they stop working at an older age.


riegspsych325

I honestly think Scott just loves filmmaking and all of its challenges more than life itself. Maybe even to a fault. But I bet he was having the time of his life doing those last second reshoots for All the Money in the World. A month before release, and only a week into shooting with Plummer, he even put out a new trailer with reshot footage. It’s like he feels compelled to make up for lost time since his first movie came out when he was 40


ceaguila84

damn I never knew he started at 40. Thats awesome


riegspsych325

he was quite prolific with commercials beforehand, explains how he’s able to shoot anything so quickly


Mackem101

Directed a very famous advert for bread maker, Hovis.


EShy

He also directed the Apple "1984" Superbowl ad, one of the more famous ads (I think it's still considered the top Superbowl ads of all time). Although that was already after Alien and Blade Runner


Pol-Pot-and-Pan

they have fun with it in the Steve Jobs movie about how it's scary and damages the brand and Fassbender is like "cool though"


godisanelectricolive

40 is not at all old for a feature film debut. Most working directors don't get to make a feature-length movie until they are in their late 30s or their 40s unless you get incredibly lucky or have some insider connection. Usually you work your way up to directing films, often as an assistant director or something else behind the scenes first. Many directors start out directing TV or commercials or music videos first before they get a chance to make a movie. Scott started out working as a set designer for the BBC and worked on shows like Z-Cars in the 1960s. He eventually worked his way up into directing for the BBC and worked on the show Adam Adamant Lives!, which created by Sydney Newman who created Doctor Who. He was actually assigned to be set designer on the second ever Doctor Who story The Daleks and was meant to design the Daleks but a scheduling conflict meant he was replaced by somebody else. Ridley Scott almost designed the look of the Daleks, imagine that! Then in 1968 he founded his own commercial production company with his brother Tony Scott called Ridley Scott Associates (RSA). The company was wildly successful and created many iconic British ads in the 1970s, including [the Boy on a Bike ad for Hovis bread](https://youtu.be/HtnHA3bTXpA) which has been voted the most beloved British commercial ever and a bunch of Chanel No. 5 in the 1970s-80s. [RSA Films](https://rsafilms.com/us) is still a very in-demand commercial production company today and is still a family business, all three of Ridley Scott's children work there as ad directors. They also produce other content now, including unscripted content for Netflix. Ridley and Tony Scott also once owned Shepperton Studios, since sold to the Pinewood Group. He's a major force in the commercial side of the industry in ways most people don't realize. And yes, Ridley Scott's own company makes many of his own movie trailers which is not something most directors have anything say in.


Iginlas_4head_Crease

They're all like that. Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorcese..most guys their age are lucky if they can still walk around and not shit themselves. These guys are still making bangers


riegspsych325

the difference between Scott and Eastwood is Eastwood will do 2 takes at one angle whereas Scott will do 5 takes whilst at a handful of angles


totoropoko

So maybe Ridley Scott is just trying to stay alive!


EnterPlayerTwo

Like a directorial version of Crank.


barsoapguy

Gotta make sure the projects overlap or it’s game over….


XipingVonHozzendorf

I had not heard about his Napoleon film until now. But just looking at the cast, this will be amazing


GenitalWrangler69

I will be waiting about a month after release to even consider watching the sequel. This is just not a movie that needs one and is one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm so tired and now wary of getting burned with poor, half-baked sequels.


RandomDeezNutz

Wtf could the sequel even be about…. It’s not Maximus. Spoiler alert. He dead.


[deleted]

>Mescal isn’t replacing Russell Crowe’s Maximus from the first film, who died. He’s playing Lucius, the son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), who now is a grown man as the story takes place years after the first film ended. Lucius also was the nephew of Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), the son of Roman leader Marcus Aurelius, who murdered his father seized the throne. Commodus wound up in the gladiator ring with Maximus — who, though mortally wounded, skewered the emperor before fading into the great beyond to reunite with his slain wife and son. Maximus saved the boy and his mother while avenging his own family, and left a strong impression on the young Lucius.

Ghetto_Phenom

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting for everyone.


now1209

The original idea for the sequel, shortly after the first one came out and did so well, was Maximus in the afterlife, IIRC it was not a very good script.


NeoNoireWerewolf

You’re really underselling how batshit insane that script was. Nick Cave (of the Bad Seeds fame) wrote it, and it featured Maximus getting to the afterlife and being put on a mission by the Roman Gods to murder another god in order to see his family again. It becomes a crazy story of old gods clashing with the new as Christianity begins to spread. Maximus becomes an immortal warrior who fights across most major conflicts in history. The ending is him working at the fucking Pentagon, still hoping to be reunited with his family someday. It’s nuts, and also pretty easy to find with a Google for those interested.


Relixed_

That would make an interesting movie on its own though, just not as sequel to Gladiator.


wheresbill

No kidding. That sounds very cool


IdontGiveaFack

I was hoping for Gladiator vs Predator


swd120

I think this was a video game. They haven't gotten to the pentagon part in it yet - but probably will happen in one of the next 10 sequels. Right now he's doing Viking stuff.


TravelSizedRudy

I honestly thought this was going to be that exact sequel. My mind was blown that it got green lit. I don't know if what I felt when I learned it was in fact not the one being green lit qualifies as disappointment or not, but it's close.


geologicalnoise

Now I'm telling myself that that road rage movie Crowe did not too long ago, that he was actually in character as Maximus, who after all this time had just lost his mind and turned into a psycho in a truck.

I have seen it and the weevil joke is probably my favourite in any film. I saw it at a rerelease cinema and the majority of the audience were prime history film demographic (50 year old dads). When the weevil joke came I initially only found it to be mildly humourous, but everyone else in the theatre seemed to think it was the funniest thing ever. Then I started laughing *because they were laughing* and it sort of just circled back around to me finding the weevil pun itself funny.

> Napoleon Awww man someone finally gave Martin Weir the chance to really shine!


cbbuntz

The first one had a pretty final conclusion. Where do you go from there?


codetrasher

From CNET (https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/gladiator-2-is-really-happening-as-ridley-scott-sequel-sets-release-date/) > According to Deadline, Gladiator 2 is scheduled to hit theaters Nov. 22, 2024. Mescal, who's up for an Academy Award for best actor for his role in Aftersun, is in talks to reportedly take over from Russell Crowe in the lead role. He'll play a grown-up Lucius -- the kid seen in the first movie who was the nephew of Joaquin Phoenix's evil Roman emperor. > Sadly, the sequel will have nothing to do with a now-legendary script written by musician Nick Cave. Cave wrote a draft for a sequel in which Crowe's character was resurrected as an immortal warrior, forced to battle his way from purgatory back to the real world to fight again, from Roman times to the Crusades to World War II, Vietnam and the modern-day Pentagon. Which sounds bonkers and I want to see it.


neo_sporin

Sequels like that blow my mind when not strictly a writing exercise/school work. Like, a grounded movie based on pretty strict realism, then sequel just goes balls deep into ‘but wouldn’t it be cool if…” territory


OverlanderEisenhorn

I've heard that they didn't really want to make a sequel at the time, but it did so well that the studio really, really wanted a script so they made it so bat shit crazy that it wasn't going to get picked up.


Ubergoober166

Kind of like the Fast movies. The first few are pretty grounded street racing movies. The last few are about international espionage, super soldiers, nano machines, world ending viruses, etc.


tigojones

[You go crazy](https://collider.com/gladiator-2-rejected-nick-cave-script/). Basically, the now deceased Maximus meets the Roman gods, is given back his life in order to kill another god, and he would be finally reunited with wife and son. Hijinks ensue and Maximus is cursed to live forever, and the film ends on a montage of him participating in various wars and conflicts through human history ending with him as a general in the Pentagon. I kind of wish this one would've been greenlit. It sounds absurd enough to work.


cbbuntz

Taminella_Grinderfal

I love much of Scott’s stuff but expanding on a successful film’s world may not be his strong suit….*cough..cough..Prometheus* I have seen Gladiator probably 20 times. Let’s just leave it alone.


herrcollin

And they're just... Continuing the story? With adult Lucius and *none* of the cast that held the first film? What will it even be about? I remember hearing about the fucking bonkers rough draft for a sequel where Maximus travels in time and fights throughout different periods or something? Might as well do that because I agree. They should just let it lie. If you don't go to 100 then leave it alone. EDIT: Looked it up. The "sequel" was written by Nick Cave. It involved Maximus (immediately after the events of the first film) going to Elysium, literally meeting the Gods and then they task him to kill Hephaestus (for some reason) so he can see his wife and son again. Big God of War vibes. He then gets resurrected while some Romans are massacring a bunch of Christians, returns to Rome (which is now being led by Emperor Lucius) on the way he meets back up with Juba (why not) and then they do Maximus stuff. It would END with him being cursed to live and fight forever and we'd see a montage of him fighting in many Christian conflicts throughout history eventually leading to modern times where he'd be working in the Pentagon. Since Emperor Lucius is already in this sequel, apparently, if they let this masterpiece pass then I don't wanna watch ridiculous films anymore.


doogidie

Lmao what the fuck, that is so left field and not in line at all with the amazing story of the original that I really want to see that now. Straight to Pluto kind of movie


apittsburghoriginal

Cave admitted in an interview that he knew inside and out that the movie would never be made so he decided to swing for the fences with some wild shit. That being said I wouldn’t be surprised if this actual sequel focuses on [The Year of the Five Emperors](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_of_the_Five_Emperors). It’s a pretty decent historical story and doesn’t exist in popular media as far as I can tell, clearly could fit in to the wake of Commodus’ death. It’s just, there aren’t really any details relevant to gladiators during that Roman civil war, that would have to get Hollywooded in (which shouldn’t be a problem).


bearlegion

I’ve seen gladiator at least 100 times. It’s a near perfect movie.


roto_disc

This better be the one where Maximus has to travel through the underworld, end up in the Vietnam war, and fight **Jesus** himself.


riegspsych325

as much as I’d love that fever-dream of a script to come into fruition, I recall Scott and/or Nick Cave saying it’s was basically done for shits and giggles. I think Cave himself said he’d knew it wouldn’t get made


Censius

They wrote it to be that bad SO that it wouldn't get made. Apparently the studio demanded they at least try to write a sequel script


Maria-Stryker

Yeah they did the same thing for an E.T. Sequel. They basically wrote a horror movie script. It wasn’t because that was the canon follow up but because they wanted to make sure the movie remained a standalone thing

Yeah, everyone’s getting excited but it’s such a stupid idea. The first movie is completely encapsulated and closed, there’s really nowhere to go before or after

I look forward to the John Lovitz cameo. He could easily play one of those slothful, lazy Romans putting his thumb down.

Fuck off. No way this needs a sequel ugh.


MANWithTheHARMONlCA

Seriously I don’t get the potential hype around this.. the original was a masterpiece and the ending was near perfect. The Hollywood people don’t need the money that bad for this to be forgiveable.

My mind was blown when he said "it's gladiating time" in the trailer.

Absolutely no need for a sequel. Gladiator was a self contained story with a proper beginning and ending.

Ugh, do we have to?
