Development
In June 2001, Douglas Wick said a Gladiator prequel was in development.[2] The following year, Wick, Walter Parkes, David Franzoni, and John Logan switched direction to a sequel set fifteen years later;[3] the Praetorian Guards rule Rome and an older Lucius is trying to learn who his real father was. However, Russell Crowe was interested in resurrecting Maximus, and further researched Roman beliefs about the afterlife to accomplish this.[4] Ridley Scott expressed interest, although he admitted the project would have to be retitled as it had little to do with gladiators.[5] In 2006, Scott stated he and Crowe approached Nick Cave to rewrite the film, but their ideas conflicted with DreamWorks's idea of a spin-off involving Lucius, whom Scott revealed would turn out to be Maximus's son with Lucilla. Scott noted that a tale of corruption in Rome was too complex, whereas Gladiator worked due to its simple drive.[6] In 2009, details of Cave's ultimately-rejected script surfaced on the internet and there weren't talks since.[7][8] In March 2017, Scott again stated that he has an idea of how a sequel could be done, and that he is currently trying to convince Russell Crowe to reprise his role as Maximus.[9] By November 2018, it was announced that Paramount Pictures is developing a sequel, which Universal Pictures has the option to co-finance, with Scott returning as director and Peter Craig writing the script and Parkes and MacDonald will produce the movie.[1]
