'Gladiator' Sequel Now in Development, Led by Ridley Scott
The director of the multi-Academy Award-winning film has started developing a sequel, "12 Strong") writing the script.
The original film saw protagonist Maximus (Connie Nielsen).
Scott has been talking about a "Gladiator" sequel for years now, and in fact, he previously said it might be possible to involve Crowe. "I know how to bring him back. ... There is a way," he told EW in March 2017. So far, though, it doesn't look like Crowe will return.
Paramount is reportedly the studio behind the project, with Universal potentially co-financing. The original film's distributor, DreamWorks, is not involved. Meanwhile, Scott is producing through his production company, Scott Free, alongside Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher of Red Wagon and Parkes + MacDonald's Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald.
The film does not yet have a release date.
