GLADIATOR II is EPIC! MASTERFUL! RIVETING! This is what moviemaking is all about! The hottest contender of the year! (And proof that swords and sandal movies are alive, well, and welcome!) See for yourself with this electrifying trailer. Then see the entire film on the big screen (and in IMAX if you can) for a cinematic experience you will never forget.
High octane eye-popping action. Sea battles. Man-on-man Colosseum battles. Sharks. Fanged attack apes that look like genetically altered hybrids. It’s all about the Roman spectacle! Award-worthy on multiple levels. The cinematography is stunning, especially with the Colosseum fights. Production design and set dress, costume design, and the armory (!!) are all dazzling.
And as for performances? Denzel Washington is deliciously pompous and wicked with an award-worthy performance as Macrinus. But it’s Fred Hechinger as twisted Emperor Caracalla who explodes and steals the show. Hand him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar now!! WOWZA!! He gives new meaning to “gleeful insanity”! Beautiful returns 24 years after the original film by not only director Ridley Scott but Connie Nielson as Lucilla and Derek Jacobi as Gracchus.
SYNOPSIS: From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.
Directed by Ridley Scott with script by David Scarpa, Peter Craig, and David Franzoni, GLADIATOR II stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, with Connie Nielson and Denzel Washington.
