Previously Ridley Scott said about the intention to shoot «Gladiator With», which will also star Paul Mescal — even 8 pages of the script have been written. However, this is the end of the joint plans do not end.
In the latest issue of the magazine Film Hounds Paul Mescal spoke about the collaboration. It seems that the director and actor found each other.
«Ridley and I are planning to make more movies together, besides «Gladiator». We don’t know what those movies will be. To be honest, it could be any of the six projects Scott is currently developing».
Early next year, 87-year-old Scott will be filming the Bee Gees biopic «You’ve Got to Dance». The director also plans to direct the aforementioned «Gladiator 3», the western «Ghosts of a Broken Earth», the film adaptation of Kevin McMullin’s short story «The Bomb», the Wall Street thriller «Big Dogs» and the spy thriller «Queen and Country».
Earlier, there were rumors that Paul Mescal and Harry Styles were in talks to star in a Bee Gees movie, so Mescal’s comment has merit. It’s likely that the movie’s cast will be announced in the near future.
