“I’ve been on big sets where the identity of the project, in a way, is its scale, and yet I haven’t been on a set as impressive as Gladiator. [Director] Ridley [Scott] it leaves little to the imagination in the most old-fashioned sense. All the players and pieces are there that day, and suddenly the expected challenge of believing in yourself as a powerful person in the era of the Roman Empire vanishes.”
