Ahoy, indeed my friend. It's a good flick.
Why not a Gladiator Prequel?
Eh, I wasn't into Gladiator so much. If they made another one of those, I think they'd be better off making it about a new gladiator... or gladiatrix. Also because if it's a prequel, it couldn't really be called Gladiator. Anyway, stupid DreamWorks is in love with making a damn Lucius spin-off that's probably drowned in production hell by now.
