“I did think a couple of times, ‘Maybe my best option is just to get on a plane and get out of here,'' Crowe said about the process of making the film.
“Gladiator” may have been a blockbuster hit, but according to star Russell Crowe, the movie’s initial script wasn't up to par with the film's success., and during the video, he took a moment to reflect on the 2000 film.
“What I wasn’t confident about with ‘Gladiator’ was the world that was surrounding me,” he added. “At the core of what we were doing was a great concept, but the script, it was rubbish, absolute rubbish. And it had all these sort of strange sequences.”Crowe explained that the “energy around what we were doing was very fractured,” adding, “I did think a couple of times, ‘Maybe my best option is just to get on a plane and get out of here.
“When we started that film, we had 21 pages of script that we agreed on,” he said, adding that most scripts are usually somewhere between 103 to 110 pages. “So we had a long way to go. We basically used up those pages in the first section of the movie, so by the time we got to our second location, we were catching up.”Crowe told host Howard Stern that it was “scary as hell” to not have a complete script when filming “Gladiator.
