Turns out all it took was a phone call. As Cave told Maron, Crowe “eventually, rang me up and asked if I wanted to write ‘Gladiator 2’ (laughs) and for someone who had only written one film script [“Ghosts… of the Civil Dead“], it was quite an ask.” Naturally, Cave asked, “Hey Russell, didn’t you die in ‘Gladiator 1’?” To which Crowe replied with a simple, “Yeah, you sort that out.” And Cave did, by making Maximus an immortal (resurrections included) and getting Jesus Christ involved. Say what?
That’s right. In Nick Cave’s hands, “Gladiator 2” would have involved the Christ man-god along with a bunch of Roman gods, all on the same theological footing. Yeesh, we’re not going to touch that with a ten-foot Spear of Longinus. Cave explained that Maximus post-mortem, “goes down to purgatory and is sent down by the gods, who are dying in heaven because there’s this one god, there’s this Christ character, down on Earth who is gaining popularity and so the many gods are dying so they send Gladiator back to kill Christ and his followers.” Remember, this was meant to be a follow-up to mega-blockbuster “Gladiator,” not some side experimental project.
