Summary

"Gladiator II" finds director Ridley Scott crafting a sequel to his Oscar Best Picture-winning film "Gladiator" 24 years later. Many of his frequent collaborators came on board to help him bring the time of Ancient Rome back on the big screen again, and we at Next Best Picture were lucky enough to interview a few of them. First is my interview with actor Fred Hechinger, who plays Emperor Caracalla, followed by Giovanni Lago's interviews with Costume Designer Janty Yates and Production Designer Arthur Max, and we end with my interview with Visual Effects Supervisor Mark Bakowski. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Paramount Pictures and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at this year's Academy Awards.
