      > “Russell and I had a go at it around 18 years ago,” Scott, 86, recalls. “I had Nick Cave writing the script and I kept saying [to Russell], ‘But you’re dead.’ And he said, ‘I know I’m dead. And I want to come back from the dead.'”

      > Scott says he tried to devise a way to include Maximus in the sequel via a “portal to bring him back from the dead.” “The only way of doing it was to go to another battle and through a dying warrior, he comes back into the spirit of the warrior,” remembers Scott. “So that’s his portal.”

      I really wish they had made this movie. The scene where >!Arishat dies!< kind of felt like an oblique reference to it

      Maybe as a reoccurring dream character. Baldur’s Gate did it and it worked out for them.

      It’s not often I get spoiled on plot points in older movies I haven’t gotten around to by news headlines

      A prequel would make more sense, I’d be down for more maximus, so long as it comes with another banger soundtrack from hans zimmer. Saw a zimmer concert in Sydney once, he had the woman that did the original vocals come out for gladiator.

      Couldn’t they pull a God of War and have him go through the Underworld?

      If anything the article was too restrained on how unhinged the original script was- Russel Crowe was going to “use his portal” to go through 2000 years of historical battles like fucking Wolverine. Just making movies, making songs, and foightin’ round the world!

      First he would have to come back from the bread 🍞. His poor ghost family would be so dejected!

      Maximus goes to the underworld and persuades Persephone (played by Monica Bellucci) to bring his wife and son back to the surface.

      Adventure ensues. Maximus dies again. The end.

      This is about the sequel script by Nick Cave (yes that Nick Cave). That was pretty bonkers, and had Maximus returning being sent back by the dying gods to kill Christ, and Maximus becomes this avatar of war, being reborn throughout all the conflicts of man. 

      It was too weird for Crowe, though.

      It takes place in a Waffle House where Maximus gorges on waffles and decaffeinated coffee while telling the cook about his glory days.

      Honestly if they’d just do his characters earlier Conquest Campaigns, that’d be awesome. Like the gladiator intro as a full movie, I’m good with that.
