Considering the film's budget is rumoured to have increased from $165m to anything up to $310m, I'd bloody hope so! 😄

So a huge, chaotic, CGI, seizure inducing battle of multiple armies....

What they don't get, Gladiator was great. It told a story and that was the end of it.

This is so, just so.... Desperate? Clueless?

Its like someone pitching an ET pt 2... They don't understand that the story is over. We want stories, not CGI armies or monsters.

...unless it's Godzilla, I could always use more Godzilla

You joke, but scripts were written for a sequel to E.T. Let's just say they were a very different film to the original.
