• Gladiator II | Officia...
Alright since you have all asked me to do it, here it is! My reaction to the Official trailer of Gladiator 2. We've been waiting for 20 years so hopefully Ridley Scott will deliver a great representation of ancient Rome. Right? Well let's find out.
Gladiator 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott's 2000 epic historical drama "Gladiator". The original film, starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix, was a massive critical and commercial success, winning five Academy Awards including Best Picture.
Key points about Gladiator 2:
Director: Ridley Scott is returning to direct the sequel.
Cast: Paul Mescal is set to star as the lead character, Lucius. Other confirmed cast members include Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, and Connie Nielsen reprising her role as Lucilla from the original film.
Plot: The story is set to take place roughly 25 years after the events of the first film. It follows Lucius, the nephew of Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix's character in the original), who was just a boy in the first movie.
Production: Filming began in 2023 and was primarily shot in Malta, Morocco, and the UK.
Release Date: The film was scheduled for release in late 2024, though exact dates might vary by country.
Screenplay: The script was written by David Scarpa, who previously worked with Ridley Scott on "All the Money in the World."
Expectations: Given the iconic status of the original film, there's been significant buzz and high expectations for the sequel.
It's worth noting that as this is a highly anticipated film, there may have been new developments or changes since my last update. I'd encourage you to check recent entertainment news sources for the most up-to-date information.
Also, as with any upcoming film, some details might be speculative or subject to change before the movie's release. The full plot and many specifics about the film were being kept under wraps to maintain suspense and interest.

8:00 1211 A.D??? You obviously meant to say 211 A.D
Minor slip... 😊
My brother likes Magic Spoon. I tried it. I think I'm allergic to Monk fruit, which is an ingredient in it. However, my brother is not allergic to it. I don't think he is aware of blueberry muffin because I don't remember ever seeing it. We have been very happy with Magic Spoon. :)
Nasty crap. No thanks. Eat MEAT.
Also since I see quite a few comments saying this, I didn't say twelve hundred eleven, I said two hundred eleven. Maybe it's an accent thing? I know 1211 is the Middle Ages guys xD

Ridley Scott lately has been trying his best to destroy his reputation earned earlier in his career.
Scott has gone full Biden. You never go full Biden.
but he always been sorta weird fella, so dunno. what reputation? :)
That might be the most incredible part of all of this, more than the garbage itself
He is willing to do this
Completely destroyed himself
It's sad because I really respect Ridley Scott for Alien, and even his first historic; 1492 Conquest of Paradise was an actually really epic and above average in accuracy film; that was unjustly tarred and feathered by American indigenous 1 dropper |ynchmob. But his historics since have all been pretty unhinged pantomime. The signs of "Ridley DGAF anymore about historical accuracy" was there with the original Gladiator, but it's been off the rails with increasing intensity since. Though King of Heaven kino cut is a decent watch too.
@@anasevi9456 Conquest of paradise was actually something that came up to me
Very lovely like Stone's Alexander
If there was ever a movie that did not need a sequel, if ever a movie had a perfect ending and could have just been left alone... Gladiator was it.

The problem is that it's modern music, not that it's rap. You specified rap music because YOU don't like it, and now you've attracted the hillbilly who doesn't like black people because his cousin-wife left him for one.
The biggest historical inaccuracy from the first one was the idea that the Praetorian guard would allow anyone else murder the emperor.
That right belonged only to them.

Always hate it when they have to make the bad guys Dr. Evil level in appearance, because hey, these are the bad guys and we need to make it obvious to the audience. Instead of relying on good writing and acting to illustrate the fact naturally. As per Commodus in the first one.
I agree. The best villains are those who seem anything but.
Good writing and acting is no longer something they want to waste money on in Hollywood.
They always must resemble Nartzees, becusae remember who you should unduly hate.
Yeah! And for some reason male villains have to be "afeminate"? We had that with Disney
The fact this thing was written by the guy who wrote Napoleon makes me feel not surprised at all with the things they are showing, ngl
No one has seen the movie lol. People are mostly angry at the rap. It looks like a fun Sunday afternoon romp, maybe we all need to chill out a bit and elevate what we like, above what we don’t, in order to have more cool stuff while we’re alive.

@@FigmentHFThey didn't say anyone saw it, lol. You shoehorned that in. And no, it isn't just the rap.

I get that an actor doesn't need to be identical to the historical character he represents. Klaus Maria Brandauer looked almost nothing like Nero, and yet he gave one of the greatest portrayals that emperor got in the 1985 adaptation of "Quo Vadis." However, the actor who plays Caracalla not only looks nothing like the Severan, but he also doesn't act like him, seeming more like a cheap rip-off of Caligula than the savage sociopath that Caracalla was.
Is getting the race correct so difficult? None of us even know exactly what the any of these people looked like for sure.
We have more than enough evidence for what most of them looked like dude, emperors had a lot of statues and busts @@bigguy7353
@@bigguy7353
We have descriptions, we have paintings, we have thousands of sculpts that along with genetic testing give us an extremely good idea of what they looked and didn't look like, also with the fact that when individuals of another ethnicity rose to prominence their appearance was sure to stand out and be described, like Emperor Philip the Arab or even the Severans from the movie period due to some of their Syrian ancestry
To me it seems like this movie does the racial part well as it is not shoehorned in

“For those too young to know, one of the first trailers for Gladiator had 'Bawitaba' by Kid Rock as a song.
Do keep in mind, in 99% of cases, neither the director or any people who directly made the movie (writer, producers etc) have ANY say whatsoever in the making of the trailer. They almost never even get to see the trailer until the public does. The trailers are ALWAYS made by the studio financing the film, NOT the director / writer or anyone who actually made the movie. The money-men make the trailers... which is why they are often utter garbage.
@troll_kin9456 I know, right? I mean there was this film that came out about 20 years ago about some dude fighting in the forest, then some bad king dude, like tried to kill him and he ended up doing some old time MMA shit, and finally ended up in the bad dudes face and ... well crap, it's because of that stupid song in the trailer that I can't remember the name.. Glastonator? DecimaTor? Well shit, whatever it was, it had to suck, cause, ya know, Kid Rock and all that

That's a "Yo Dawg" moment, right there.
It's 2024, so I wasn't surprised, that they did blackwash with Macrinus, but that they did whitewash too with Caracalla and Geta (in the sense that they are played by Irish like looking guys instead of guys with typical southern mediterenean look), that really surprised me.

They already thought of that, an early storyline was written by Nick Cave! 😮 in which Maximus fought an army of the dead legionary soldiers in Hades! Needless to say, this was quickly dropped 😂
At this point, Maximus fighting through the underworld would be so bonkers and feel so out of place with the first movie's tone, it would better as a sequel because it would be easier to ignore as canon

Him behaving less like Detective Alonzo would also help quite a bit.

Dear Metatron, actually Denzel Washington is once again not plausible in this movie because he is cast as Macrinus, who was a praetorian prefect under Caracalla, and then emperor himself for one year. And he , like Hannibal, was a north african, born in the coastal city of Iol-Caesarea, so he could not be ...black ! Here we go with Hollywood bullshit once again ! The funny thing is that they had done something good for just a small detail, that he wore a ring in his ear, which is historically established.
the casting of Caracalla and Geta is also wrong. They were a mix of Gaul, North African and Syrian. All Severans were mixed (Septimus was Lybian-Roman, Caracalla Lybian-Gaulish-Syrian, Heliogabalus was part Arab, and so on)
It's sad that he could actually fit in this movie, but they had to give him a character that wouldn't fit him
Denzel is probably mixed

Yup. You can show Ridley Scott the actual bust of Macrinus (which we have) and he'd dismiss it out of hand. Rome had no black emperors.
@rc8937 they probably hired an DEI 'historian'
"I dont care what historians said, my grandmother said Yasuke was Macrinus."
Ironic, when I heard that Denzel was working in this movie, I was a bit salty because I was 99% sure he was going to play Septimius Severus, thus catering to the "Severans were African, thus black" crowd. Turns out I was wrong, but not quite. I just got the wrong African emperor, haha.
If I am not totally mistaken, gladiator fights had rules and a point system. What I do know for sure is that gladiators had great healthcare, and they were not just thrown away.
Metatron saying what sounds Like “twelve eleven” confused me when talking about the two emperors, had to check, I guess he means 211 AD
Same here
mb he meant 12, 11th year of 3rd century :)) not sure, but also got confused
it's pretty sad how this movie will surely treat the Severan dinasty, which, until now, was completely forgotten by Hollywood despite being completely fascinating the reigns of Septimius the tyrant, Caracalla the barbaric, Elagabalus the libertine and Alexander the tragic. At least we have the 1911 film "L'orgie romaine", about Elagabalus' crazy reign
Forgotten by Hollywood? Like they were ever curators or purveyors of accurate history? It's forgotten by many *historians* , and 99.99% of the general population have no clue it existed.

@@gypsylee333LMAO
The original movie was so elegant in it's simplicity and grittiness . This one seems too opulent and over the top even though I guess by this period Rome was on it's peak
One of my favourite dynasties, as you can obviously see. The Severans ought to have remained untouched and unsullied by Shoddywood. Septimius Severus as the Punic Sulla, Caracalla as the Common Enemy of Mankind, Elagabalus as the Bacchus of Rome, Alexander as the Last Princeps. Not to mention the Julias Domna, Maesa, Soemias and Mamaea. This film will make them into a laughing stock.
15:48 Caracalla hated his brother and wouldnt be in the same room with him let alone enjoy the games together.
As soon as I saw the gladiator riding a rhino I knew this was basically a fantasy movie and should be treated as one.
Sits back and grabs popcorn.
I brought beer, we are going to need it.
They race swapped Caracella?
I'm pretty sure he would've been fairly swarthy. If I'm not mistaken he's half Syrian, quarter Libyan, and a quarter Italian. Why is he Nordic in appearance‽
Because the villain must be white.
Nobody seems to call out the fact that overly germanic features is off putting on a mediterranean man.
Because that’s what people think Nero looked like and the Caracalla is meant to be an effete Nero/caligula kickoff instead of like the actual Caracalla
They were berbers originally from North Africa. But it's only a scandal if you race swap from white to non-white 😂. That actor looks like Nero to me
A lot of Americans basicly lump most Europeans together as just white me included. I couldn't really tell you the difference between Nordic and Mediterranean except like hair color and some facial features especially since America has a lot of intermingling between the different Europeans making it harder to tell as compared to the more distinct features Africans Latinos and Asians have in comparison.
Now that I think of it, this film should be called "And Another Emperor Bites The Dust".

Real Crusades History did a podcast bringing on multiple crusader historians to discuss how inaccurate it was.
The 0 sugar claim on the cereal box is misleading Metraton, because all digestible carbohydrates become glucoze (aka blood sugar).
as a keto, you are correct. it’s sugar overall
We are $&@ked
Well at least they're not putting complex sugars in.
I think he's referring to the general term of 'sugar'... which is usually the added white, refined sugar that most people are familiar with...
and not the scientific knowledge of the word 'sugar'.
Had to scroll a long way to find this comment. Misleading
I shall proceed with pretending that Scott stopped making movies decades ago.. purely for my own sanity...
The bad thing about having Denzel playing a fictional character with the name of a Berber who became emperor is that it just further confuses people and helps lead them onto the history thieving path that more and more people are going down. People who have put into history books for British kids the falsehood that Septimius Severus was a black Roman emperor and that black Moors guarded Hadrian’s Wall, etc. And it’s normal for a lot of white people to play foreign roles in a country and an industry that has been predominantly white and run by white people.
I think it would be interesting to see like a top 10 list of historically accurate movies that you've seen or have interest in. I'd watch that.
Gettysburg is a pretty good historically accurate movie
Zulu Dawn with Burt Lancaster and Peter O'Toole is another good one.
We don't do that here. We nitpick historical fiction to sound smart
They didn't put colour in because colour TV wasn't invented yet 😂😂
They’re only able to destroy.
One thing that I really liked about Gladiator was; they weren’t trying milk it.
the xenomorph bit at the end was hilarious!
Was waiting for Denzel to say My Man for the whole trailer. I left sorely disappointed
😅😅😅😅
Blood for the blood god, money for the money gods 🎉
Hans Zimmer: This is not how you sell a movie about Gladiators in 200 BC.
Well it's set in 211 *AD* anyway
Regarding the naval battles. They only happened when Rome experienced heavy rainfall and the colosseum was flooded. So they improvised
I had the same reaction when i saw the Rhino rider
I was waiting for worldeaters berzerkers to make an epic entrance at the end 😂
16:14-I have a feeling Ridley Scott being the moron he is thought that the story would be better if the younger brother killed the older one because it felt right to him.
When you think your Quentin Tarantino and you can throw some hippity hoppity music in there and it will resonate wih the "YOUTH" because you yourself are hip too
Ridley Scott were historical consultant for AC Shadows xD
Whuuuaaaa
You can use comma and full-stop when the video is paused to frame skip :) (if you didn't know)
I didn't know that! Thanks!
The real MVP right here.
Genuine brilliant comment 🫡
Hope you will also talk about the upcoming "Those About to Die" show. I bet that thing made by Roland Emmerich is gonna have a TON of sh*t worth talking about 😂😂😂
out of all the animals in the world i never heard of anyone that manage to turn a rhino into a horse
Fun fact: Apparently Ridley wanted the rhino rider in the first movie even! Guess he has enough power to get what he wants this time!
The bloodcrushers reference was gold.😂
The best part about movies and shows set in antiquity is that the narrative is usually: Rome bad, but in pop culture Rome is almost always still universally liked and rooted for lol
I have seen much of the world, it is brutal and cruel and dark ROME IS THE LIGHT.
Pop culture is delusional
And funny enough when they need to make virtue signals apparent they'll use poor christians (while being ant religious af) as a stand in for oppressed minorities.
@@Taicho116 Rome stands for stability in a different time. It's easy to look in our modern world and say Rome was archaic but it was law and order in a brutal time period.
@@firingallcylinders2949exactly, people really downplay and ignore the law and order that Roma brought to the conquered people, and not only that. Life of Brain genius sketch with the free front of Judea activists explains it very well.
Denzel Washington is playing an arms dealer and Gladiator owner named Macrinus; I suspect his character may be intended to be Marcus Opellius Macrinus, the Equestrian Berber from Mauretania Caesariensis in North Africa, who became Roman Emperor in 217 AD, but I guess we shall see.
From what I hear, the naval battles were had been discontinued by this period because they had installed underworks below the arena floor.
Thanks! I was wondering that
Thanks! I was wondering that
@@LenaFerrari
Apparently, they thought fighters/tigers popping out of trap doors in ground mid-battle was more fun.
@@jamesgordley5000 I would have to disagree with them, but hey who am I haha
Isn't Caracalla and Geta suppose to be Libyan-Arab? Since Severus was born in Leptis-magna and his wife from Syria?
Yes, but you see: White people bad.
ofc they cant have brown ppl to be the bad guys.. they have found the whitest guys possible to play the villains..
Homie just bypassed the sharks in the Colosseum?
It frustrates me that Caracalla in this movie looks nothing like the guy depicted in the busts. The guy in real life had a barbaric physique so wickedly characteristic that even the damaged artistic representations of his person highligh his imposing and ruthless face. What a waste...
Typical (((hollywood))) representation
Yes but what about Effeminate clean shaven urban Romans vs muscular barbarian from a farm?
They had to cast the effeminate evil northern European looking man for the 900000 time despite the fact that even romans lauded the figure, form, bravery and martial prowess of us "savages"
Ridley Scott: If it happened in my mind then it is history. Rhinos were a legit mount.
Well, at least men's fitness will have a topic for a few weeks, "How to get in Gladiator 2 shape!"
Is there anything left for Hollywood to ruin?
@ch-yq5yn thanks for your profound insights.
anime adaptations and videogame adaptations, they still have a lot to bastardize...
@@Sergeant_Camachovideo games definitely on the chopping block
@ch-yq5ynExactly 😂 If its so soulless and predictable, stop watching 😂 Pretty sure these armchair historians have more important things to be doing than analysing Hollywood films for historical inaccuracies 😅
I believe they filmed both Gladiator films in Malta at one of the old forts to the south. Surprising how many movies are shot there. Sad there aren't many movies about Malta, very interesting history. Guess sieges aren't 'epic' enough for movies.
Any examples. Would love to look some up.
It's fun to watch enough films and spot the same places used in heaps of films, even completely different genres.
Like all the English period films that use the same manor house from different angles, that one valley in Arizona or Utah that's in every single film set in the Middle East
@@Tylerthephantom Two good films set in Malta are Luzzu and Simshar. Unfortunately no war/action movies I can think of unless you are into WW2 in which case there are several british movies and documentaries about the 2nd siege of malta. You might be able to find some cool docos on youtube if you search Great Siege of Malta. Big ottoman invasion attempt vs a handful of knights and a local militia, fascinating subject
@@Tylerthephantom Simshar and Luzzu are both good movies set in Malta. I can't think of any historical/period action movies unfortunately. You can find several cool docos on warfare in Malta on youtube if you search 'Great Siege of Malta'.
@@defectiveindustries I know what you mean, its heaps of fun. One day I'd like to visit those kinds of places and see what they look like without the set dressing
historian: "there is no ...."
Ridley scott : "Excuse me, mate, were you there? No?"
I cracked up laughing with the reference to Warhammer as my husband and son both are building the armies and playing the game
26:06 *"It should be no surprise then, that from the deepest shadows of Khorne's great Kingdom ride a most ferocious pack of beasts, part demon, part machine, steered by only the most devoted of warriors of the Lord of Slaughter. These are the Skullcrushers. They ride to War with one singular purpose: Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne."*
I thought to bloodcrushers first: suppose I played too much 40k 😅
Some movie/show about Khorne followers and Orcs fighting Custodes in the Custodes war games would be preferable to a Gladiator sequel.
