    It was greenlit in 2018 by Paramount, and script work started, etc., but then covid hit, and also Ridley Scott was working on his Napoleon Bonaparte movie with Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon, which finished filming and is in post-production.

    Ridley Scott talking about it in late 2021

    Details:

    • Lead actor: Paul Mescal, his character is Lucius Versus, the son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) and nephew of Joaquin Phoenix's Commodus.
    • Setting: Picking up many years (20-25) after the first film and will follow the story of Lucius as a grown man.
    • Script is completed.  First draft was in November of 2021.  David Scarpa was brought in and finished the script (he wrote Scott's Napoleon movie).
    • Filming starts next month (it was supposed to be filming now, but Paramount/Scott let the star have a few more weeks for a play he's in).
    • Tentative release date of November, 2024

    And this is far more tame than the original idea for a sequel that was written shortly after the original premiered 20+ years ago. There’s an actual script written by Nick Cave called Christ Killer (or something like that) with a plot of Maximus being resurrected and fighting battles throughout time. First, in antiquity, then continuing through time and culminating with a battle in WW2 vs Hitler, then Vietnam and finally ending up in the Pentagon.

  2. I remember the EMF Bulls promo on WGN… “You’re Un-believe-a-BULL!”

    I also remember catching the final minutes of WGN’s Chicago based newscast every night at 9:55’ish waiting for Seinfeld, Night Court, or Cheers reruns to start.

    Rocky 4 is one of the greatest gifts cinema has given the world. I could listen to the soundtrack on the treadmill every day and never get tired of it.

    1. Training Montage
    2. War
    3. Burning Heart
    4. Eye of the Tiger
    5. Hearts on fire
    6. No Easy Way Out
    7. Sweetest Victory
    8. Going the Distance

    Very little real dialogue in Rocky IV. It's something like 40% montage. Peak 80's and I love it.

    Someone is notably missing from contributing music to this music heavy movie.. you guessed it! Frank Stallone. He must have been at odds with his brother during this stretch, because everyone, but him, contributes a song.

    When I don't fit into my Calvins and members only jacket anymore. 

    Love Aerial America, Food Factory, How it's Made, How'd They Build That...  All cool shows. 

    They could show a few less Air Disasters, but otherwise almost perfect channel for my aging, uncool self. I’ve seen every Aerial America at least five times. The Mighty Trains and Mighty Ships series are my current favorites of their newer stuff.
