Scott stated, “We start the film with probably the biggest action sequence I’ve ever done,” in a recent interview with Empire Magazine. Larger than anything in Napoleon, most likely.”
Twenty years after the Oscar-winning original picture starring Russell Crowe, “Gladiator II” features Paul Mescal in a leading role, costarring with Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington.
Scott explained to Empire that he combined several methods to produce the enormous beast.
The director of “Alien” declared, “You have to embrace computerization and AI.” “I can scan a rhino’s molecules and wrinkles with a computer, then slice it onto a substantial piece of it.
The acclaimed filmmaker omitted to say what kind of “computerization and AI” were employed or whether generative AI was even somewhat engaged.
The “skeleton” was moved by means of an electric dolly that was programmed with digital commands.
Scott told the publication, “I have this thing that can do 40 mph, spin on the spot, wag its head, and snarl.” “A man riding a two-ton rhinoceros. Well, it’s really enjoyable.
Lucius, played by Mescal, is shown in the first teaser confronting a massive rhino.
