The Colosseum filled with water in Gladiator II
Ridley Scott delivers a passionate defense of one of Gladiator II's more peculiar scenes, sparking debate about the film's blend of historical accuracy and cinematic flair. As a sequel to Scott's 2000 Oscar-winning movie, Gladiator II will return to Ancient Rome, this time following Lucius , a character similar to Russell Crowe's Maximus. Lucius' life is upended when he is forced into slavery by the invading Roman army led by General Marcus Aracius .
You're dead wrong. The Colosseum did flood with water, and there were sea battles... Dude, if you can build a Colosseum, you can flood it with fucking water. Are you joking? And to get a couple of sharks in a net from the sea, are you kidding? Of course they can. SCOTT: They can't work out what that mix was. The Romans discovered how to make iron even harder. They were technologically superior.
The exchange between fact and fiction in Gladiator II suggests that audiences can expect a film that takes creative liberties while remaining rooted in plausible interpretations of history.
