Ridley Scott is making his return to Ancient Rome this holiday season with the highly anticipated release of Gladiator II, the long-awaited sequel to the Best Picture-winning Gladiator.
As expected, Scott’s new film promises to be as epic, intense, and brutal as its predecessor. The MPAA confirmed this week that Gladiator II will receive an R-rating, citing “strong bloody violence,” much like the original film nearly 25 years ago.
In a recent interview with Empire, Ridley Scott also spoke highly of the movie, suggesting it could be a standout in his impressive career.
“It’s the best thing I’ve ever made,” Scott stated confidently, adding, “Though [I have] made several other great movies.”
