OH DEAR GOD IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING! STOP THE PRESS' "GLADIATOR 2" IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING!

 You may or may not have already heard this but I was just reading on Collider.com's website and I still can't believe this is real and not just a joke...Ridley Scott has confirmed that the script for this sequel is written and this will enter production after his latest film "Kitbag" has finished.

I think I'm still in shock as I am a massive fan of this film and this film is so epic in everything such as the story, actors performances as there was massive amounts of awards given to this film not the actual guy who delivered this, amount of extras used on the epic locations in the film etc and the two major characters in the film Maximus Decimus Meridius and Commadus played by Russell Crowe and Joaquim Pheonix both die at the end so I always thought that your not going to be able to do a sequel that is going to be as epic as this film...but I guess I was wrong if Ridley Scott is going to try, fingers crossed and hopefully this doesn't end in tears and ends up looking like an epic fail trying too hard to be like the last "Gladiator".

So hopefully the idea for this sequel will be better than the idea that was floating around in an an early draft of the script in 2006 where according to this same article on Collider.com's website Maximus was to be resurrected by the Roman gods and sent back to Earth to halt the development of Christianity. Thank goodness then that this never saw the light of day and that Ridley Scott preferred a more grounded historical fiction approach. As Ridley Scott said in an interview with Deadline.com's website that:

"...We have a good footprint, a good logical place to go. You can't just do another Gladiator type movie. You've got to follow...there's enough components from the first one to pick up the ball and continue it."

So this would tally with how Collider.com says that this sequel will follow the character Lucius the son of Lucilla who was named after his father who was friends and served in the army with Maximus, so this would show according to this same article on Collider.com's website a 25-30 year time jump which apparently Russell Crowe is expected to make an appearance in, but just how I don't know because his character died after Commadus stabbed him in the side and put his armour on in the Coliseum to "conceal the wound".

According to Collider.com's website this will enter production after Ridley Scott's next film "Kitbag" finishes...but I just have one thing I'd like to ask when on earth is there going to be another series of "Taboo" as this lockdown would have been perfect for another series with a captive audience...I know this sounds bad but I was just thinking that this sequel is also perfect because people will definitely want to see this whether either in cinemas or streaming so it'll definitely be a money maker but this could also be risky as hell because if it doesn't make it up as good as the first then it will get absolutely panned by everyone and will leave everyone thinking "why did Ridley Scott not just leave this film at one".

NEW! MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE TRAILER AND NEW! 30 SECONDS TO MARS TRACK FT ILLINEUM "WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING" UPDATED VERSION SO MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

I know you may or may have not seen this trailer or heard this song already but being a massive fan of 30 Seconds To Mars I just had to put these up on here.

If you haven't seen this NEW! trailer yet here is the Youtube.com link below for you to have a little gander at, or if you have seen it here is the link for you to have another look at it:

MORBIUS Trailer 2 (2022) - YouTube

The plot for this movie is that Dr. Michael Morbius who will be played by Jared Leto has a rare blood disease and in an attempt to cure himself as you can see from this trailer he inadvertently infects himself with some form of vampirism.

This might just be me but I'm just going to say it, this looks like Sony are again trying to get another under the radar box office hit like they did with "Venom" as this film also cast an actor audience wouldn't normally see playing a comic book character but it worked with Tom Hardy and now Jared Leto,-but lets be honest even if your like me and a little bit curious to see Jared Leto as "Morbius the Living Vampire", comic book adapted films do seem to be making a boat load of money lately-.

This also might just be me but I'm going to say it anyway this might be a breach of the compromise agreed by Sony and Marvel but this could have been a good opportunity to reintroduce the character Eric Brooks aka "Blade" as according to Marvel.com's website "Blade" and "Spiderman" in the comic books both "Spiderman" and "Blade" take down Loxias Crown/Hunger who will be played in the movie by Matt Smith...and the character "Blade" is a vampire hunter anyway that's part vampire part human so you could have him hunting Morbius anyway...but if your like me and have seen the NEW! "Eternals" movie you'll have heard the voice of "Blade" in the after credit scenes with the character "Black Knight" so what this means I have no idea but I have theories so please don't quote me on any of these as their just my opinions and may not actually be true...

Anywho...I was just doing some Googling on "The Black Knight" as ever since I heard before I watched "The Eternals" movie that "Blade" was in this movie and not in "Morbius" movie I just couldn't believe it because having watched the "Blade" movies it makes more sense to me if his character is in "Morbius" and not in "The Eternals" movie especially as his character is half human, half vampire and hunts and kills other vampires because they killed his mother and made him a monster so I thought that this character could be maybe hunting "Morbius" in this film that I thought would make more sense than being in "The Eternals" film,-well as I write this I think that this makes more sense than putting Harry Styles in another after credits scene as a Titan/brother of Thanos that wants to help Thena and the other "Eternals" that go on the ship across the universe to find other "Eternals",-anyway I digress I read on Wikipedia that Sony could be using the storyline from the comic books of "MI-I3" which according to Wikipedia is part of the "Secret Invasion" crossover event that involves "The Black Knight" fighting with a team to stop vampires from invading Britain and also involves " The Black Knight" finding out that he has a fake "Ebony Blade" and that this fake was made by Dracula and encourages him to kill and that he has to go to Wakanda to get the real "Ebony Blade" back but still holds on to the vampiric blade...or they could be using the story from the comic books after "The Defenders" and "The Otherworld" where "Dane Whitman/Black Knight" is now in modern times and he learns that "The Ebony Blade" has a blood curse that every time the sword draws blood it drives it's user closer and closer to madness.

So Sony could like I read on Collider's website the other day could be opening this cinematic universe up to it's more supernatural areas of the comic books or I think it could be making this cinematic universe dark like the DC universe so it can compete against the likes of all the Avengers films, "Doctor Strange" and make more people buy tickets to see these darker more action packed films like "Venom", "Blade" and "Morbius" in cinemas when they do get released.

Anyway...this film has a pencilled in date of January 21st, this has now changed to April 1st 2022 and will be directed by Daniel Espinosa, the screen play and the screen story has been written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.

I may be biased as I am a big fan of 30 seconds to mars but even though this does sound different to their other songs as this sounds a bit more poppier,-if that's even a word-, than other songs of the band I do like it...it has a more chilled vibe to it...and if you haven't heard some of Illenium's music before here is a Youtube.com link to some of his other tracks:
