‘It’s crazy’: Russell Crowe opens up on why he thinks Gladiator II missed ‘the moral core’

More than a year after Gladiator II hit the cinemas, Russell Crowe is still unmoved by the sequel to the film that earned him an Oscar. The actor, who immortalized Maximus in Ridley Scott’s 2000 epic, has again questioned whether the sequel understood what made the original unique. Russell Crowe recalled that during production of the original, he fought daily to protect Maximus’s integrity, particularly against suggestions that the character should have additional romantic entanglements. (Getty Images via AFP) Speaking on Australia’s Triple J radio, Crowe said the creative team “did not actually understand what made the first one special.” As he also said last year, he was already “slightly uncomfortable” with the idea of a sequel. “Because, of course, I’m dead and I have no say in what gets done.” ‘It’s crazy’ Crowe argued that the heart of Gladiator was never its spectacle. “It wasn’t the pomp. It wasn’t the circumstance. It wasn’t the action,” he told Triple J. “It was the moral core.” Also Read: Denzel Washington reacts to Oscar snub for his …
