00:00It's been 25 years since Gladiator 1.
00:09There's an excitement coming back to the Roman Empire.
00:13The first Gladiator had a huge impact across the world.
00:17How does it feel?
00:18Epic.
00:19It's not lost on me what we as a cast of actors and Ridley are stepping into.
00:25So cameras, action!
00:28The story they came up with, it was brilliant.
00:31It speaks to a deep human experience.
00:34Where you are, I am too.
00:36At the start of the film, Rome has been through 20 years of upheaval
00:41with the madness of power-hungry people who can buy the throne.
00:46There are victories yet still to come.
00:48Rome has so many subjects, she must feed them.
00:51They can eat war!
00:54The whole story is based on who, as a child, was sent away to protect him.
00:59Never let them find you.
01:03We see him dragged back into Rome, a prisoner.
01:06Whose head could I give you that would satisfy this fury?
01:10The entire Roman army.
01:13Everything that goes into creating this world is incomparable.
01:18This is the biggest film I've been on.
01:21It's huge.
01:22People need to mill on steroids.
01:24This is about survival!
01:27Survive!
01:28All the things that you see in the film.
01:30Flooding the Colosseum.
01:31Wild animals.
01:33It's recorded by all of these things happening.
01:37This is real.
01:38There's nothing like having the real thing.
01:44Everywhere you turn, there's thousands of soldiers in beautiful costumes.
01:48To walk out in that arena for the second time was pretty amazing.
01:53Pull!
01:54It's grand in scope with sophisticated characters and storytelling.
01:59It's all the things that fill in the word epic.
02:08Strength and honor!
