Paul Mescal embarks on ambitious two-decade long film project
Richard Linklater's one of my all time favorite filmmakers and Paul Mescal's one of my all time favorite actors, so I can't wait for this. I know some people think they should switch the actors, and I do understand the appeal of that, but once it's done, it's going to be super cool to see it over a span of 20-years. I'm happy it's being done this way. A big reason I loved Boyhood and the Before trilogy is because of the way you get to see the passage of time in just a few hours More on reddit.com

Paul Mescal is terrible in Gladiator 2, as is Denzel Washington, it's not a great movie really.
They should have made the Nick Cave version, where Russel Crowe does a deal with the Roman gods in the afterlife to be reunited with his family, but ends up resurrected on earth leading a Christian army against the Roman Emperor that develops into a two millennia battle encompassing him being sent to kill Jesus, before moving on to the Crusades, the two World Wars, the Vietnam war and finally Maximus ending up in current times working in the Pentagon.
