Denzel as Roman Emperor Cool Face


Not the Emperor (those are the evil brothers Caracalla and Geta), he's an arms dealer and lanista.

Well he is called Marcinus as Emperor Marcinus, who succeeded Caracalla Philosopheraptor


Hmmm so the arms dealer becoming emperor, typical Ridley's twist Cool Face And I guess it won't stray that much away from history:

Quote:

Macrinus was the first emperor to hail from the equestrian class, rather than the senatorial, and also the first emperor of Mauritanian descent.

Mauritania back in the Roman empire days was the upper tip of north africa, not stretching as far as modern day country Mauritania. So he would not be black.

Also, I really dont give a fuck who they cast.

I mean, it's Ridley Scott after all.
He told a historian that was criticizing Napoleon to get a life. Laughing

True, but if they did black him, I'm glad they got Denzel. He's so watchable even in stuff that's so-so.

Well, although Rome never had a black emperor, they had black senators, since black-populated provinces were under their perview at some point, locals got senators to represent them.

Nobody really gave a shit about your skin colour back then, the only thing that mattered was your culture (or perceived lack thereof aka barbarians) and your social standing.

So I really don't see what's the big issue here. Macrinus was most likely Berber and not black, but it's not outside the realm of possibilities.

God I fucking hate mini trailers at the start of trailers, that spoil the trailer and destroy it's pacing by making it start with some fast shot epic shit rather than building up

and yeah screw the music...

not sure about some of these scenes...

but could be cool, I'll yarr it at some point but no cinema for me for this one.

trailers cannot be trusted anyways and I didn't watch the whole thing.

Shit music, and possible spoilers around 2/3 in, so I closed the clip.

I guess the film will be OK for one viewing.

Scott's been more miss than hit for more than a decade now, IMO. I expect a reshash of the first but worse.

Ridley Scottā€˜s Gladiator II is set to be released 24 years after the original film hit theaters, but fans of the saga might not have to wait long for its third installment.

The filmmaker has revealed he’s already begun working on the script for the potential Gladiator III.

ā€œI’ve already got eight pages. I’ve got the beginning of a very good footprint,ā€.

When King Charles showed up to the ā€˜GLADIATOR 2’ premiere last night, security told Denzel Washington to go inside and meet him.

Denzel reportedly said ā€˜I make my own rules’ and continued to talk to fans.

I love some of Ridley's movies. But.

Napoleon was sadly very bad - and it was all the script's fault. Scarpa imho is a bad pick for an epic.

Please, let me be wrong ...


I was not wrong. Just back from cinema. Fuck this screenwriter, seriously.
