Mescal is a good actor but seems a bit wrong for this kind of film.
God King Scott? 
They said that about the bloke from Neighbours.
I've only seen Paul Mescal in After Sun but he was excellent in that. Seems destined for big things.
I wonder if we will be entertained. I'll see myself out.
One of my favorite films as a kid, but I find it absolutely shit now.
Is that not why you would be there?
Maximus vs Xenomorph, but this time Maximus is Nexus 6 android.
He's gone senile hasn't he.
I thought it held up pretty well actually, especially seeing what happened after.
(Some of the sword fights doo seem clunky to be fair)
Nick Cave involved ?
Yeah that was my question too.
Context for anyone not familiar.

The full script is available online, or at least used to be, I have it downloaded somewhere.

Some movies don't need a sequel. This is one of them.
Was he in the shower, I thought he died in the original??
The more Ridley films the better.
Doubtful miserable cnuts on here. Your white txt is shite. Even if it wasn't spotted... see yourself out
Oh dear. Which other film from the 90's - 00's will be mauled into a sequel next?
Alcatraz Redemption?
Shirpser's List?
Alcatraz Redemption?
Shirpser's List?
Titanic 2
This would not surprise me
Pearl Harbour 2: Based on a true story
Both starring Steve Coogan, please.Pearl Harbour 2: Based on a true story
Titanic 2- The Plank Was Big Enough
He said a few years ago that he wanted to depict the Battle of Britain as his top project. Surprised he has not gone on that path as of yet, especially after Darkest Hour and Dunkirk did very well to depict the events that preceded that turning point of the war.
I seriously thought Robin Hood was Gladiator 2.
So this is news to me.
So this is news to me.
FGS NO !!! Some films don't need a sequel, this is one of those.

Well that changes everything
It might be gladiator 2 by name, but I can’t see it being a proper sequel due to the fact most of the main characters died, plus maximus’ son and wife were murdered at the start so no one to revenge him etc.
Will be some bogus theme set in the same era, but that’s all it can have in common
File this under "good movies that no asked or wanted a sequel for."
Oh didn’t know about that. Would have been interesting to see his take. I know he is currently in the process of finishing a film about Napoleon. Tbh he seems to non stop working so maybe we’ll get the Battle Of Britain some point in the future.Crazy that he is 85 years old and still going strong.
Nick Cave has got you covered.
*Sadly it doesn't sound like they're doing his script.
I just read cave’s proposed script - WOW - afterlife, elisium becomes hell, gods 
A friend of mine told me about it years ago. He's a massive Nick Cave fan and had read the whole thing. That's why I found it and downloaded it.
Edit: At least that's what I recall right now. Totally possible I'm imagining that it was ever publicly available
I'm still waiting for the sequel to Passion of the Christ.
Passion of the Christ 2 - Crucify This!
That sounds absolutely class!
The level of lack of creativity in Hollywood is astonishing. Just make a gladiator like movie and give it a more unique name. This is just an attempt to tap in the success of the first movie.
Bet theres a flute, andriod and xenomorph involved.
I'm still waiting for a sequel to this masterpiece.
