GLADIATOR II -- John Logan Speaks!

Hey folks, Harry here... Seems that John Logan is busy at work on the second project centered around the time of Maximus and those days of long ago. Personally I'm hoping that it is about the times of a young Marcus Aurelius and the gladitorial days of Antonius Proximo -- thus making it necessary to find younger men to play the parts that Richard Harris and Oliver Reed made famous. Quite honestly, I don't want to see the further adventures of the Spaniard or Juba. But going to the period before that... now that's worth exploring. Also at the link below you can find quite a bit about STAR TREK NEMESIS, so here ya go...

These are comments from a TrekWeb interview of the screenwriter John Logan about his job to write a sequel to 'Gladiator', which he co-wrote.

”It’s in the story phase, I’m meeting with Ridley and talking about what it should be and sort of flushing it out,” he says, noting that director Ridley Scott’s involvement is not definite at this point. “It’s early days, trying to pick out a story. It does have something to do with the first one and I’m not calling it a sequel, I’m calling it, I can’t even tell you because it’s top secret! If I said anything, Ridley would come running through this door and strangle me. It’s going very well, it’s going to be very exciting.”
