Nick Cave's unmade script would've made a drastic turn from the original Gladiator.
The concept of a Gladiator sequel is one that has drifted around Hollywood for over 20 years, and in that time it hasn’t gotten any less ridiculous. The original Gladiator, Ridley Scott’s tribute to Ancient Rome that single-handedly revived the sword-and-sandal genre, was a great film, but it also worked as a standalone experience without the need for future entries.
Why Was Nick Cave Offered 'Gladiator 2'? It might seem like an odd choice — and not least because Cave only had one screenplay credit to his name when the offer came his way. There is a logic in hiring him for the job, however. Religion has been a recurring theme in Cave’s music throughout his career, as is his morbid fascination with death and the darker side of the human psyche. Christianity in particular has been central to his work; he's used it to explore the topics of good vs.
Combine that with a story revolving around purgatory, resurrection, and a theological war between the ancient and new gods , and you have a film that feels so disconnected from what had preceded it that to even call it Gladiator 2 feels like blatant mismarketing.
Russell Crowe Wasn't a Fan of This 'Gladiator 2' Idea To say it’s a radical change from the original would be the understatement of the millennia. Bringing in the Roman gods was implausible enough, but at least that had a connection to the already established world of Gladiator. A modern-day twist is something else, and even those on board with resurrecting Maximus would have trouble accepting such an ending.
