Musician Nick Cave was invited to write a version by Russell Crowe and Sir Ridley Scott
Line of Events
After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now rule Rome, Lucius is forced into the Colosseum and must look to the past for strength to restore Rome’s glory to his people. In the years following the release of the first film, there were many attempts to write a sequel. His version focused on the more mythical elements of ancient Rome and depicted Maximus arriving in the afterlife, only to face other souls who had yet to ascend higher. Ultimately, Jupiter and the other Roman deities commission him to return to earth to find and kill Hephaestus, the former god who had betrayed them. From there, he is resurrected as a Christian and returns to Rome, on a mission to stop the spread of Christianity while meeting the new emperor, Lucius. The film would end with Maximus condemned to live forever, with a montage of soldiers fighting in the Crusades, World War II, and the Vietnam War, finally revealing a modern Maximus working at the Pentagon in Washington, DC.
Saw the premiere in Sydney
The studio decided not to make this version, but the script is available to read online Emperor Geta: The Gods Have SPOKEN!. Featured in The 7PM Project: July 3, 2024 Episode (2024). The plot is richer and more exciting than the first part. Everyone is playing great, Paul did a great job! Denzel has great comedic talent and contributed a lot of funny lines. I personally don’t think it’s bloody at all.
To summarize the disadvantages: 1
There are a lot of fight scenes and it’s very good. The ending is very emotional and there are a lot of touching parts. Some dialogue changes too often. Personally, I don’t like this method of editing. I prefer to use a slightly longer shot to focus on one person (preferably the main character) so that I can capture small changes in the person’s face during the dialogue.2. The sea water in front is a bit too realistic to look artificial.
(I’m not sure about that) pS
The sea water is too blue and perfect, which often has the opposite effect.3. In terms of historical rationality, I don’t think people at the time had any understanding of the concept and appearance of a god of death. This is a screenplay adapted from the story. There is no need to worry about the originality of the screenplay. Therefore, you don’t have to worry if the second one is a remake of the first one. People say they want to see a sequel, but they don’t want the screenplay to be too closely related to the previous one.
This statement itself is contradictory
If we see a completely different story, we should list it as an original screenplay. But the second one clearly states that it is an adaptation. You can rate the screenplay adaptation, but if you are not satisfied with its originality, perhaps you should rewrite the story in various dimensions: Screenplay: 9.5/10 Direction: 10/10 Cinematography: 10/10 Acting: 10. /10 Editing: 7.5/10 Sound: 10/10 Music/Soundtrack: 10/10 Production Design: 9.5/10 Casting: 10/10 Effects: 8/10 Hair and Makeup: 9.5/10 Costume Design: 9.5 /10.
