On November 22, 2024, Gladiator II, the long-awaited sequel to the legendary film directed by Ridley Scott, will be released in theaters. Which movie directed by Ridley Scott is Dr. Blackwell’s favorite movie of all time? Hint #1: The tagline for the film is, “Somebody said get a life… So they did.” Hint #2: The two female leads in the film competed for one another for the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1992, although neither took home the prize. The film’s writer, Callie Khouri, however, did win the Oscar for her exceptional writing of the film’s screenplay. Hint #3: Director Ridley Scott struggled to find a studio willing to finance the film, as most studio executives lamented, “No one will want to see a movie with two strong females as its main characters.” MGM ultimately financed the production, and the movie went on to become a major financial success.
