What will be Ridley Scott’s next film after Gladiator 2?
A priori, the Bee Gees should occupy the director in 2025. But…
He has no intention of retiring. Ridley Scott will continue to make films and his next project is known: it will be a musical biopic dedicated to Bee Gees. Yes, nothing to do with gladiators…
So when will the filming take place? In a recent interview with Deadline, the 86-year-old English director explained that he had already met Barry Gibb (the leader of the cult disco group) but that there “was a snag” which risked slowing down the process:
“We had a snag on this Bee Gees movie, which I don’t want to talk about.”advance Ridley Scottwhich specifies that it has not given up, but suggests that this biopic, which was supposed to be filmed in early 2025, risks being postponed for several months.
“I hope to return there by the end of next year. I’ve already prepared well for it and had a very good meeting recently with Barry Gibb, who I haven’t seen for 50 years. . It was like a trip back in time. It was a strange reunion but quite wonderful in the end.”
We know that the film’s screenplay was written by John Loganalready screenwriter of Gladiator. No casting has yet been announced.
SO Ridley Scott will he wait for Bee Gees or will he make another film first? What if he launched into Gladiator 3 ?
