Ridley Scott On Why 'Gladiator II' Is His Most Ambitious Film: Will It Finally Win Him The Oscar?
EXCLUSIVE: Every interview Ridley Scott has done with Deadline has turned into a master class on his cinematic exercises in world creation, ranging from Alien, to Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Blackhawk Down, Napoleon, Prometheus, The Martian and Gladiator to name just a few. There is connective tissue to the original which salvaged the sword-and-sandal saga from the scrap heap, and intrigue and emotional backstories brought to life by a strong cast of Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger and Derek Jacobi. DEADLINE: These set pieces in the Colosseum, where the gladiators face off in sailing ships floating on shark-infested waters, square off against a rhinoceros, and a bunch of pissed off baboons.
