"Nick Cave's rejected Gladiator 2 script uncovered"

Crowe's Maximus meddles with Roman gods in the afterlife, is reincarnated, defends early Christians, reunites with his son, and ultimately lives forever– leading tanks in the second world war and even mucking around in the modern-day Pentagon.

It might have been a wreck, but I'd probably have watched it.

A wreck? It would have been a hundred times better than the original!

Yeah, I know, I hated that movie.

Well, it had its moments - but so did Pearl Harbor...

I don't know, it may have been good without the modern-day stuff. With it the whole thing seems a bit too much, you know, how any movie following someone immortal or whatever always seems to be that they end up at the Big Historical Event of every time period.
Judging by fiction titanic was actually full of nothing but vampires, timelords, and immortal beings.

I haven't seen a really good wreck in a long time.

Is that photo Nick Cave or Hugo Drax?
