I'm not sure if you guys were aware but you know Nick Cave wrote the first draft of Gladiator II? I've read it (it was a part of working through everything he'd ever written last month for my focus on Cave) - Wow: What at lost opportunity. The Cave script is much more in-line with the "feel" of the first film. Archetypal storytelling and all that . . .

I find it so interesting that Ridley Scott would personally approach Nick Cave for it though first. Studio interference? I think people are tired of the old CGI tripe though. ("Camp" is GOOD now). A film comparable in scale to Gladiator like "Godkiller" (THAT is what Cave wanted to call G2) is REFRESHING now.
