Sir Ridley Scott confirmed the sequel to the 2000 epic film a few months back, but the details are finally starting to take shape.
However, other details about the film have been scarce, including casting decisions or even a plot. The fact that the movie takes place decades after the first, however, would corroborate early rumors that the movie would follow the exploits of Lucius, the son of Lucilla and nephew of Commodus, characters played by Connie Nielsen and Joaquin Phoenix in the original.
