John Landis on THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

Filmmaker John Landis witnesses THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

They don't make 'em like this anymore: those huge sets and cast of thousands aren't computer-generated but absolutely real, and those 1964-era actors are a darn sight more interesting than a lot of those we have on hand today.

"Gladiator is a virtual remake, betya didn't know that."

Hmm..Marcus Aurelius (complete with inner turmoil) and his son Commodus going mad, a brave honourable Centurion defending the Roman ideal of Republic, opening in the German frontier, climax in the Arena....nah Never occurred to me John, not for one second.

(But you could have pointed out the Roman cavalry with stirrups, and the Gay sub-plot with Plummer and Boyd)
