The premiere of the colossal Gladiator IIthis Friday, November 15, does not make us forget Máximo Décimo Meridio, the Spanish-Roman general protagonist of the famous 2000 film that he played Russell Crowe. Feature film and leading star they took the Oscarand three other statuettes, although Ridley Scott he saw once again how the most coveted award in the film industry eluded him; and most importantly, Gladiator It has not lost a bit of its popularity since then.. And, since Máximo died in that one, and some crazy ideas to “resurrect” him in this sequel were discarded, finally we will not see Crowe in any cameo nor anything in this second installment.
However, and in some way, the New Zealand actor will have the opportunity to get evenalthough it will not be in another film directed by Scott or a blockbuster worth more than 250 million dollars. It is about The Last Druid which will also transport us to the glorious times of the Roman Empire, and in it Crowe will play to a peaceful Celtic druid who will lead the resistance of his fortress, hidden in the mountains of Caledonia, the Latin name given to the northern half of present-day Scotland, to defend his family and his people of the attempted invasion of the powerful and very well-equipped Roman armies in their advance through the British Isles.
Produced by AGC Studioswill direct it Will Eubankof Hostile mission who starred Liam Hemsworth and also precisely Russell Crowe, and other titles such as Paranormal Activity: Close friends either underwater. The same filmmaker is also co-author of the script with Phil Gawthorne and his brother Carlyle.
The project was announced a few days ago, but the news is that even though the rest of the performers have not yet been finalized, it seems that having Crowe’s leadership in the cast has been enough. to attract international distributors. As reported deadlinehas already been acquired by several companies, e.g. Amazon Studios will distribute it in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, Plaion Pictures in Germany, Italy and Switzerland or Plus Films in Latin America. And it can also be seen in Spain by Tripictures and DeAplaneta.
Although for this to happen we will still have to wait a little. The plan is to start filming next year. But here the potential of the project is evident for now. The Last Druid to reach and please the general public. “It has been exceptionally received by international distributors who are enthusiastic about the idea of Russell in this role and have responded enthusiastically to the script that deftly combines action and heart”commented a euphoric Stuart Fordfounder of AGC Studios, curiously also producer of the Romans series Those About to Die of Roland Emmerich.
