All seems a bit too auto-piloty for me. A large-scale historical epic from Ridley Scott? Russell Crowe as a swarthy but heroic legend? Cate Blanchett as a bold but ballsy love interest? Mark Strong as a villain? A little weasely beardy guy as the end of level boss?
I wonder if there will be a stirring speech given before they go into battle.
A lot of this was filmed on the beach I like going to
I couldn't go to my beach when they were here. Apparently though people walked down there, and Russell scabbed a cigarette off a woman. He was nice from all I've heard who spoke to him.
Also yeah Cate Blanchett looks far too fragile to be attractive
Blanchett? Not attractive to me. A damn fine actress and that's all that matters, but personally as an object of lust? Nope.
I'll stick with my 90's obsession of Ms Fenn. The moment I saw her in Twin Peaks tie a cherry stalk with her tongue, I realised that all other women are redundant.
But none of that would work unless Nic Cage is linked with his search for yet another national treasure.
By the way, do you really find Miss Blanchett attractive? I mean, she's old-school beautiful and stuff but come on, didn't they have any hotter chicks those days?
I know, the film is about Robinus Hoodixus and his arrow fellows, but since they attached a woman to film and show her naked back, isn't she supposed to make us horny or kinda? Not that I need that, just loudly thinking since blood is circulating in the upper parts of my body.
Scott talks on the commentary for "Gladiator" about the historical advisors getting moody about the Romans tipping oil into trenches to light their arrows from,
"And I said you weren't there, it's just your opinion. This looks cool and they could've, good enough for me"
All this movie needs is a Costner cameo and Sherilyn Fenn and there would be no need to make any further movies about anything.
Sounds American to me, even though he's not even that. Make your mind up, Maxipads.
Looks like a big mess, could be ok. Can't wait for the history/literature buffs to come out the woodwork (where they've been hiding since Costner raped Hood's accent) to judge the historical accuracy. It's a fucking French fable, you nerds!
YES!
Gladiator with the 1st 25mins of Saving Private Ryan.
Fucking *awesome*, I'm slightly engorged waiting for this movie.
I don't care what anybody says, Gladiator remains one of my favourite films - in my top 10 easily. Couldn't care less how much of a chubby yob Maximus acts or how many telephones he throws at bellhops.
The only thing that has me wondering and wincing - what accent is that supposed to be? It veers from the Tetley Tea people to Sharpe by way of Braveheart.
