Ridley Scott and Paul Mescal announce the end of filming on Gladiator 2
Let’s go back a little, to the beginning of Mr. Scott. At this time, the Bee Gees were managed by Robert Stigwood who also launched into film production. Stigwood almost met a Ridley Scott new to the direction of Castle Accident, a medieval film in which the three brothers of the group Barry, Maurice and Robin were to star.
Ultimately, the film was never released but now, with the surprise success of Bob Marley and Paramount validating the first images of Gladiator 2, Ridley Scott is once again in good conditions to finally make a biopic on the group.
Written by David Scarpathe screenwriter of Napoleon, Gladiator 2 will entertain us at the cinema on November 20, 2024.
Paul Mescal definitely doesn’t want to become a star with Gladiator 2
