Apparently Ridley wants to do Gladiator 2

And there's a review floating around that describes what they had in mind originally. Mind you, it's completely bonkers. But it's interesting in its own way...

Script 'Thelma & Louise 2' by Alan Smithee

 

Exterior - Opening Scene

 

The sound of wind blowing. Fade-in. The camera moves through the shiny white clouds. We hear faint music. Suddenly a Cadillac Sedan Deville jumps out of the clouds. The car has wings! We now recognize the music that is playing. It's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! 

 

 

 

Ridley Scott: "Brilliant! I now know what my next movie will be!"

I know why. He's looking for a project that is easily authorized, funded and that has the potential to be successful (the Alien/Prometheus universe no longer is that) because he has a work addiction. His biggest fear is to sit at home looking through the window. Work -> project -> money.

30 years later? Reeks of The Revenge of The Son Of Gladiator. Anyway, not sure if Gladiator is still a thing with the latest generation.

I have never really thought to try an actual OST listen. 

 

Master and Commander had quite a controversial score in soundtrack land, since its wasn't swashbuckling naval adventure. I do like that percussive, textural style.

It's also one of those rare scores where the classial music and original score complement each other perfectly.

I love a good swashbuckler score, but I don't think that would have worked well in this film with its more serious tone.
