Gladiator Star Says Movie’s Last Scene Wasn’t in Original Script
Gladiator star Djimon Hounsou reveals that the last scene in the movie wasn't actually in the original script. Released in 2000, Gladiator was a hit both critically and commercially and is largely the film responsible for propelling actor Russell Crowe to stardom. Directed by Ridley Scott, the film tells the story of a prestigious general, Maximus, who, after witnessing the death of his wife and child at the hands of the Emperor's tyrannical son, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), is sold into slavery and forced to become a gladiator.
