r/popculturechat on Reddit: New look at Joseph Quinn in ‘Gladiator ll’
August 24, 2024 -

https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/gladiator-2-joseph-quinn-inspired-gary-oldman-philip-seymour-hoffman-roles/

Excerpt:

“For obvious reasons, Joaquin Phoenix’s performance was something that was in our minds,” Quinn tells Empire, speaking on behalf of Hechinger too. “It was something we had a reverence for, but we didn’t want to.... soil with some kind of poor rendition.” Instead, they drew from other performances of delectable, unapologetic villainy – ones you can’t help but get swept up in, even when rooting for the hero. Among them? Philip Seymour Hoffman’s dreaded Davian in Mission: Impossible III, the man who famously put an explosive charge in Ethan Hunt’s head. See also: “Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element!” says Quinn. “He has this relish for being horrible.”

I finally saw this and just kind of disappointed as a Joseph Quinn fan. Overall it was entertaining enough but it truly felt like he had 5 minutes of completely underdeveloped screen time. The emperors were so hyped up only to have nothing to do. His performance was beautiful with what he did have though. Also, mildly traumatized from some parts near the end lol. More on reddit.com
