GLADIATOR II OFFICIAL TRAILER What we do in life…. echoes in eternity as Paramount Pictures releases the official trailer for the upcoming sequel film Gladiator II. View trailer below. Several decades after the events of Gladiator (2000), Lucius—the grandson of Rome’s former emperor Marcus Aurelius and son of Lucilla—lives with his wife and child in Numidia. Roman soldiers led by general Marcus Acacius invade, forcing Lucius into slavery. Inspired by the story of Maximus, as depicted in the original 2000 film, Lucius resolves to fight as a gladiator while opposing the rule of the young emperors Caracalla and Geta. There has been a lot (and I do mean a lot) of hype for this particular project, with many clamoring for any type of tidbits and news from the movie. Now, the first official preview has dropped, and it does look glorious. Perhaps my biggest gripe about this movie is that the movie really feels superfluous. There is no doubt that the original film was spectacular and fantastic and continues to be timeless in its own cinematic right. It’s an incredible sold “one and done” movie that didn’t need a sequel or franchise built around it. It was just that good. So, why reopen something that was perfect on its own. I not saying that the sequel will bad (I pray that it isn’t), but it’s got a quite feat to try and overcome or even come close to cinematic greatness. Still, for better or worse, anticipation for this sequel project is paramount and I’m very much looking forward as to what Gladiator II has to offer. Basically, good or bad…. I’m excited for this movie.
