Musician Nick Cave was asked to write a version by Russell Crowe and Sir Ridley Scott
Story
After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now rule Rome, Lucius is forced into the Colosseum and must look to his past for the strength to restore Rome’s glory to its people. In the years since the release of the first film, there have been numerous attempts to write a sequel. Their version focused on the more mythical elements of ancient Rome and would have seen Maximus arrive in the afterlife, only to encounter other souls who have not yet ascended. He is eventually tasked by Jupiter and other Roman deities with returning to Earth to find and kill Hephaestus, an ancient deity who betrayed them. From there, he is resurrected as a Christian and finds himself on a journey back to Rome, tasked with stopping the spread of Christianity, while crossing paths with the new emperor, Lucius. The film would have ended with Maximus cursed to live for eternity, with a montage of the soldier fighting through the Crusades, World War II and the Vietnam War, finally revealing a modern Maximus working at the Pentagon in Washington. The studio decided not to move forward with this version, but the script is available to read online.
Emperor Geta: The Gods Have Spoken!
Presented in Project 7PM: Episode of July 3, 2024 (2024). I watched the premiere in Sydney. The plot is richer and more exciting than the first one. Everyone’s acting is fantastic, Paul did a wonderful job! Denzel has a great talent for comedy and contributed to many funny stories. Personally, I don’t think it’s bloody at all. It has a lot of fight scenes and it’s very cool.
To summarize the shortcomings: 1
The ending is very emotional and there are many touching parts. Some dialogue changes in the editing are too frequent. I personally don’t like this editing method. I prefer to use a slightly longer scene to focus on one person (preferably the main character) so that I can capture the slight changes in the person’s face during the dialogue. 2. The sea water in the front is a little too real to look fake. The sea water is too blue and perfect, which often has the opposite effect.
(not sure) p
3. As for historical rationality, I don’t think the people of that time had a certain understanding of the concept and appearance of the god of death. S. This is a script adapted from the story. There is no need to worry about the originality of the script. Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether the second one is a remake of the first one. People say they want to see a sequel, but they don’t want the script to be too related to the previous one.
This statement in itself is contradictory
If we need to see a completely different story, we should list it as an original script. But the second one clearly states that it is an adaptation. You can judge the adaptation of the script, but if you are not satisfied with its originality, maybe you should rewrite the history book.
