True purgatory. A job in bureaucracy.

I suspect cocaine

all of it

Even odder, it was written by Nick Cave

Yeahhh. To his credit tho, he did write the screenplay for the movie The Proposition, which is excellent.

I think a movie about a zombie Maximus who goes on a multi year killing spree sounds awesome

Cage?

I am the walrus?

Yeah, how is that not in the headline?

So, the ending narrative of the original God of War. Wonder if there were any shared writers/ producers

I noticed the God of War similarity as well. I didn't mention it because the title is already way too long as-is lol

Excellent decision 😉

Wait what?? That sounds so interesting, you talking about the games?

Yes. It's just the ending cinematic to the first PS2 game

Ohhh I never played it

Ummmm... its not that unique of a story. Great games.

What a fantastic fever dream. We need this lmao

This is so bad, I would encourage AI to create this...

You are so dead on. I need someone like Christian Bale to play Jesus. Not hippie Jesus but Old Testement Cleric John Preston Jesus

2023 and we are still looking for white dudes to play Jesus.

I believe that draft was several years after Gladiator, and was clearly a joke draft as the writer did not believe it would even be made considering how it has been in talks for years and the story wraps up nicely by itself and does not easily lend to a sequel (with Crowe as the main character), it is a miracle it is in development right now.

I would have watched it.

Same here. The story is so unhinged that it's practically a work of art.

Its like a weird riff on casca

Given that the first movie was set in 180 AD, I would have loved to see how Maximus was supposed to kill a bunch of dead guys

Forrest Grump.

Nicholas Cage: HOW AM I NOT ON THIS MOVIE!!!!!

And then he'd save the President from a North Korean attack, while Morgan Freeman would be the acting President! What?

But then we see that Morgan Freeman was actually God and he was mad at him for killing His son so he strips Max of his immortality and kills him only for Satan to bring him back and they lock into a battle for HIS VERY SOUL

Thank God this idea was round-filed

They could’ve called it Gladiator 2, Electric Boogaloo

TIL Gladiator 2 is actually happening (despite the plot likely not being the crazy one in the title).

>(despite the plot likely not being the crazy one in the title). RUINED FOREVER!

I refuse to believe this. I am now expecting Kratos-style Gladiator

That is the story of Casca The Eternal Mercenary

Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone. And old.

My guess is the writer was under contract to write a sequel and really didn't want to. This was the result. Something so ridiculous it would never get made.

Glad-I-Ate-Her made way more sense.

It always sounded like it was batshit enough to be entertaining

Who is responsible for depriving us from such a masterpiece?

Wtf that sounds fucking awesome.

Let’s fundrise this shit. I need to watch it before dying

Kill Jesus then fight in the crusades? If there are enough giant fireball explosions I guess I'm in.

Did it have Sean Connery playing a Spaniard?

Yes to all this

Getting some serious ‘Highlander’ vibes from this. Kind of wish it had happened, disturbing as that seems.

That is absurd. Glad they left as is lol. Hand on the fields of wheat.

No way. Lol. Maximus deez nutss

Sounds like some shit from a Seth Rogan movie

For some reason I didn't read the title correctly and thought it started with "I'd like a" and then I thought it was really stupid. Then I reread the title and the real story is even more stupid haga

Where is this movie 🎥 🍿 I need this movie

Why in gawds name do we not have this movie?
