A New Trailer and Posters for GLADIATOR II Have Been Revealed...
With less than two months to go before it's unleashed in theaters nationwide, check out these two new posters and the latest theatrical trailer for Gladiator II!
I really do hope that Gladiator II will be as good as the original Gladiator film that was released over 24 years ago, seeing as how director Ridley Scott mentioned that he already has an idea for Gladiator III if this upcoming sequel is a financial hit.
Scott compared the ending of Gladiator II to that of The Godfather, while the third film would be similar to The Godfather Part II. The first two Francis Ford Coppola-helmed mafia epics are the best ones in that trilogy (like Gladiator in 2001, they both won Oscars for Best Picture in 1973 and '75, respectively), so Scott's comparisons make me even more excited for this Thanksgiving holiday and hopeful that the sequel—starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Pedro Pascal and Joseph Quinn—will be successful at the box office.
Gladiator II comes out in cinemas throughout the United States on November 22.

Remembering James Earl Jones (1931-2024)...
Today, the world lost a major cinematic legend when James Earl Jones—the actor behind the deep intimidating voice of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, 2005's Revenge of the Sith, 2016's Rogue One and 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, as well as Mufasa in the 1994 Disney classic The Lion King—passed away at his home in New York. Jones was 93 years-old.
Jones is also known for his roles in popular baseball movies like 1989's Field of Dreams and 1993's The Sandlot, Jack Ryan political thrillers such as 1990's The Hunt for Red October and 1992's Patriot Games, hit comedies like 1988's Coming to America, and even long-running TV sitcoms like Frasier and The Big Bang Theory.
Jones is also an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner who received an Honorary Oscar at the 2011 Academy Awards. May he rest in peace.

Photos of the Day: An Alien and Robots in Los Angeles...
Richard T. Par
Just thought I'd share these photos that I took of replicas for the Xenomorph from Alien: Romulus and Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron and Elita-1 from Transformers One currently on display at Century City in Los Angeles.
I was at work inside AMC Century City 15 yesterday when I saw these cool exhibits out in the main lobby. For those of you wondering, in Transformers One, Bumblebee is known as B-127; Optimus is Orion Pax, Megatron is D-16; and Elita-1 is called...Elita-1.
I look forward to watching Transformers One when it opens in theaters later this month. But yea, that Alien Xenomorph statue is really awesome!

Will Jack Bauer Finally Make His Way to the Big Screen? I Hope So!
So I just read on IGN.com that a 24 theatrical film may finally be in the works at 20th Century Studios! The movie is still in the early stages of development by producer Brian Grazer and Imagine Entertainment, but here's hoping that we see Kiefer Sutherland return as Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) agent Jack Bauer...and that it won't be a prequel featuring a younger version of the shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later CTU operative.
There was a 24 movie 16 years ago (known as 24: Redemption—which took place between Seasons 6 and 7 of the hit FOX TV drama), but it was made for the small screen. And the last time Jack Bauer appeared on television was 10 years ago, in the 24: Live Another Day (LAD) miniseries.
LAD ended after 12 episodes with Bauer surrendering himself to the Russians for events that transpired as far back as Season 6. With the 24 film no doubt having a considerable budget since it will be tailored for the big screen (and 20th Century Studios will have the financial resources of Disney—its parent company—at its disposal), it may be safe to say that there'll be an extravagant action sequence showing Jack escaping from the Russian prison he's been held at for a decade...assuming the timeline reflects the actual number of years that passed between LAD and now.
I just want Bauer to yell "Damn it" on the big screen like he did multiple times throughout 24's 9-season span! (2017's 12-episode 24: Legacy starring Corey Hawkins is an outlier.)
Carry on.

The GLADIATOR II Teaser Poster and Trailer Are Here!
After the teaser poster for Gladiator II was released online yesterday, Paramount and Universal Pictures unveiled the trailer for Ridley Scott's upcoming sequel to 2000's Oscar-winning epic Gladiator this morning!
Here are some screenshots from the sneak preview...showing Paul Mescal's Lucius taking on a rhinoceros-riding gladiator inside the Roman Colosseum, Denzel Washington's Macrinus being a schemer, a fierce Roman battle taking place at sea, Joseph Quinn's Emperor Geta following in the footsteps of Commodus (portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix in the first film) and his predecessors, Pedro Pascal's Marcus Acacius ready to take on a horde of gladiators inside the Colosseum as well, and Connie Nielsen's Lucilla handing Lucius a memento from the late and great Maximus (the Oscar-winning role played by Russell Crowe in the previous movie).
Sadly, there are no snippets of the music that will be composed by Harry Gregson-Williams for Gladiator II in this trailer. I guess we're just gonna have to wait till November to find out if the sequel has a riveting score like Gladiator does (thanks to Hans Zimmer) when it was unveiled to the masses 24 years ago!
