The minds and money men behind the blockbuster of the year, have been praised by members of our local community today.
In a weird turn of events, local mother and daughter duo Michelle and Jocelyn Rowntree have come out to commend the casting of Gladiator 2.
The long awaited sequel is set to hit cinemas this week, with Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal to star in the dirty, sweaty 4k production.
Both sex icon’s in their own right, the clever casting looks set to draw in more non-traditional action movie fans.
“Don’t mind if I do,” laughed local mother of 3 Michelle.
“I’m normally more of a Notting Hill and a Love Actually kind of fan, but I’m happy to get out to the movies for this one.”
While Michelle is there for more of the vintage, her daughter Joce said she’s quite excited to see Paul duel it out in the Colosseum.
“Um yes please,” said Joce.
“Ever since Normal People, Paul has been my celebrity hall pass,” explained the happily engaged local woman.
“I’m not sure if I like the hunked up version a much, but that’s why I need to go and see a bit more.”
Ridley Scott was contacted for comment on the thirst trap casting, but has surprisingly not responded for comment.
More to come.
