Hollywood is so bankrupt for ideas, gotta remake and sequelize everything

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

It was probably more work to make a script that works as a sequel to Gladiator than it would have been to make an original movie based in Rome. But then they don't get the name recognition and all the free money that comes with it.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

So posted right at the same time as this was another trailer for a new movie.

This has comments, the other doesn't.

Guess what gets people's attention? Shit they can recognize and have some idea what it is and will be.

I see this time and again.

I'm not even disagreeing with you, just please help comment on the others and help them get noticed.

Non sequels are being made.

Sadiatior: The prequel

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget Gladiator vs. Godzilla.

Actually that one would slap.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Wow. Yeah. Joking aside, I would absolutely watch "Gladiator vs Godzilla".

Special Cameo by Vin Diesel who reminds Pedro’s character that it’s all about family.

I recommend the indy sci fi flic Prospect with Pedro as the lead.

[–] entropicshart@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This will be terrible. The story was told; go make your own content instead of shitting on other people’s completed stories.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

... it's the same people making this one. They're shitting on their own story.

And Ridley Scott and Douglas Wick, so yes some of the same people.

No, they don't have the same screenwriter, but that's not the only person responsible for the story.

[–] Rascabin@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

Pedro is the only reason i will watch this movie when it comes out in digital format 😁

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

It will be hot garbage

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Damn, Pascal and Washington together would be great... in a different movie.

Can we stop with the three-minute trailers? Alright, I'm in, but I stopped after a minute and a half.

[–] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Denzel Washington? Nah Iβ€˜m good
