We've Got A Sneak Peak At The Set For Gladiator 2' Filming In Malta And It Looks AWESOME
Source - Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the Colosseum that's being built for the upcoming "Gladiator" sequel ... and TMZ has the first look at how the replica of the famous venue is coming along.
"Gladiator 2" is filming in Malta and we got these photos and videos from the set. Front and center -- an under-construction Colosseum, plus other replica buildings of ancient Rome. Colosseum construction is pretty far along ... and it has all the makings of an epic place to hold a fight ... fake though it will be.
The Set:
Are you not entertained? Are. You. Not. Entertained?!? Because make no mistake about it...you will be. I don't even care that Russell Crowe isn't in the movie, the fact that they're pouring this much time and money into making the set look the way it does means it's going to be great. They literally took a peninsula in Malta and turned it into Gladiator-land complete with a colosseum, multiple castles, and a public forum.
Here's another video of what looks like the original arena...
I just hope it lives up to the hype. I think it will considering the cast includes Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, and Paul Mescal…but still, ya never know. The movie is set to open November 2024. Now here's a highlight reel to get you through to lunch. Enjoy….
