>>214123444Emperor Elagabalus (218 — 222)Caracalla's cousin and youngest to become Emperor when he was just a teenager, from a prominent Arab family in Syria. Actually called Antoninus while still alive, and nicknamed Elagabalus later on. Characterized as a flamboyantly gay teenager, at a time when non-flamboyant gay or bisexual was the norm (some even claim he may have been Transgender, based on Cassius Dio who used female pronouns in his account), he was so flamboyant that it led to extreme disapproval and his early demise. One famous incident had him throwing a banquet where rose petals fell through the roof via confetti but in such number and volume that some of the revelers were smothered to death.He also had a reputation as The Prankster, with many of his pranks being deadly and only he himself finding them funny, such as hiding lions in his guestrooms and implementing a lottery system where winners could win a slave, a house, a dead dog or live bees.Some of this reputation was probably exaggerated after his murder by the Praetorian Guard, and related to reactions against his his import and elevation of the Middle-Eastern sun god Elagabal (he was high priest of the cult) to the head of the Roman pantheon. However, some of the commentaries are a bit ''too'' specific and unique to be traditional Roman character assassination. In any case, his reputation made him a hit with the Decadent circles of the 19th and early 20th Century. Antonin Artaud wrote a book on him called, Elagabalus, or the Anarchist Crowned.

>Lucius gives power back to the Senate and goes to live in the outer provinces with his new girlfriend.>Elagabalus arrives with his giant army, overthrows the Senate and takes over Rome. He is a psychopathic, depraved zealot who gleefully oppresses the people.>When the people begin clamoring for Lucius to save them, Elagabalus kills Lucius’s new girlfriend, enslaves Lucius and forces him to become a gladiator again because he wants Lucius to die in the arena to break people’s spirits.>Lucius goes up against Saw-like death traps, even crazier animals (crocodiles, elephants, fuck, let’s throw in a polar bear) and all sorts of The Running Man-esque miniboss evil gladiators.>The Hound from GoT becomes Lucius's new sidekick after he refuses to work for Elagabalus and is thrown into the arena as well.>Juba returns as the leader of an underground resistance and begins rallying the people against Elagabalus, culminating in a big finale where Lucius leads the people of Rome to defeat Elagabalus and his invading army and make Rome great again (again).
360s AD, about 150 years after Gladiator IIThe Emperor is Julian the Apostate, a pagan who's trying to stop the Christianization of Rome. Christians oppose gladiatorial combat so he hosts a massive tournament and forces them to participate. The MC is a monk who's ripped away from a life of prayer and contemplation and has to fight to survive. He eventually convinces the other gladiators to turn against Julian, who is deposed. Gladiatorial games are permanently abolished.
Gladiator?I barely know 'er!
>>214123444The story happens in 2025 Rome with Maximus reincarnation
>>214123585David shows up because Ridley just can't let that shit go.
Well, after Caracalla and Macrinus (both features in Gladiator 2) you only have Elagabalus and Alexander Severus.Once Alexander Severus got assassinated you get the wild Crisis of the Third Century, where one Emperor got assassinated or died one or two after another, often by their own men sometimes with just months apart. There were 26 "Legitemate" Emperors in just 50 years. Most of them Barrack Emperors who rose to power through their military rank and command of the army rather than through heredity or civil means, some of which never set foot on Rome or spoke Latin very well. One of them (Silbannacus) is so obscure that the only proof of his existence are two coins found in the 20th century. The lowest point was when Emperor Valerian became the first emperor to be captured by the enemy. He Was taken alive by the Sassanid Persians and allegedly skinned, stuffed and put on display. Other accounts have him being forced to be King Shapur's footstool or killed by being forced to drink molten gold, whilst the more credible ones simply have him stuck in a tower for the rest of his life.It ends with Aurelian, the so-called 'Restorer of the World', or Diocletian, who divided the Roman Empire in two, depending on who you ask.
>>214123444>1982>Two aspiring television producers create a competition where normal everyday people compete in a series of events against a squad of bodybuilders and fitness models>the film follows the trials and tribulations of the producers as they travel through Hollywood to pitch their concept>then in 1987, the producers' big break comes in the form of The Running Man, a sci-fi action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger>everything culminates in1989 with the premiere of a syndicated program that would become a pop culture iconGLADIATOR 3: AMERICAN GLADIATORSSUMMER 2027
>>214123444It such irony that they keep praising Marcus Aurelius when you know that the Empire is in inevitable decline going forward.
gladiator 1 was creepy king and normal gladiator fights & a ghost womangladiator 2 was a black king and a navy battle with sharks in an arenagladiator 3 will be a black woman king with gladiators swinging from helicopters fighting over a boiling lava pit (that doesn't burn the crowd)
>>214123585>>214123832he said he might make the third alien prequel if he gets an idea for it in the same interview lol
>>214123444Red Harvest but in Ancient Rome with Gladiators.
>>214123444Caligula raise gladiator from the dead and makes him fight against angels from heaven
>>214124542
I’d rather they had gone with the time travel plot by Nick Cave than the boring trash we got.
I wish Scott would go back to focusing on making good movies rather than just making a lot of movies.
>>214123832>Marcus Aurelius? >I did not say I knew him I said I knew his creator
>>214123444they're definitely money launderingno one watched that shitty (((modern))) sequel
>>214123444roman empire being compared to america in current times
>>214123444Something that ties all of Ridley’s work together and proves Gladiator, Blade Runner, and Alien share a universe.
>>214123444Saar this will sell many tickets contact sir Ridley I need money for my family
Options:>prequel - first gladiatorial games in the Roman Kingdom or early Republic>Crisis of the Third Century>late western empire/Gothic invasions>Byzantine era
>>214123444Dont want. I want him to make one more Alien movie
It will now be 100% black with historical events recounted by Tariq NasheedThe black gladiators will face their greatest challenges yet: Sexual assaults in the arena. The sharks have been replaced by rape dolphins. The canines and felines have been replaced by rape apes and the final challenge involves the most impossible of enemies: the white man.
This time gladiator is a woman whomstve shows everyone how gladiatoring is really done and never loses and becomes so popular that she becomes an Emperess and goes on to be the greatest most perfect Emperess that ever lived. Bella Ramsey to star as the gladiator.
>>214123444I haven't even bothered watching the 2nd one.
whatever happened to that time travel gladiator pitch or whatever the fuck, I remember reading about it a long time ago and thinking "yep, kino of the highest caliber"
>>214128721Nick Cave made the script slightly tongue in cheek and Russell Crowe thought it was amazing so of course nothing happened and it was forgotten.
Wasn't he making a RAF movie? Spitfires and Messerschmidts in the coliseum.
>>214123444>Lucius finds himself in Las Vegas, where he proceeds to cause mischief by killing people, granting twisted wishes, and infecting a young man with his green blood.
>Emperor Aurelian gets betrayed by his army and left for dead>Slave trader picks up Aurelian and sold him off to be a gladiator>Aurelian fights alongside with a motley group of gladiators against wild animals and other gladiators>Emperor Caligua wants to fight Aurelian and chops off Aurelian's right arm to handicap him>One-armed Aurelian still wins against Caligua >Aurelian gives a melodramatic speech before dying from blood loss
didnt gladiator 2 bomb. the movie also fucking sucked.
>secret gladiator of royalty (he doesn't know he is royalty) fighting in slums in some no name village>does epic fight against multiple villages and a big baddy>gets selected for the coliseum>beats all the toughies>current corrupt king of coliseum says "now will fight the final battle">releases aliens he has stored since they kidnapped them during an abduction>aliens have ray guns but he beats them with iron swordthis is my first draft, although I am confident Ridley has been working on something similiar
Ridley Slop
>>214123444The first film was terrible and I didn't even bother to see the second.
A teenage girl addicted to tiktok travels back in time and meets a grouchy gladiator, who she guides to victory in the coliseum by teaching him to incorporate tiktok dances in his fighting
>>214129949That sounds cool as fuck.
>>214129949>A day in the life of a gladiator
>>214123444didn't they make a negro emperor in the last one?
>>214130428His reign lasted a day, if that.
