I loves me some Russell Crowe - I'd listen to him read the phone book, among other things - but the trailers make this movie look like Gladiator 2: Men in Tights. No?

I should say, I *liked* Gladiator! But this basically looks like the same movie.

Has Russell Crowe made another period action movie after Gladiator that wasn't another Gladiator?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What makes a period piece another Gladiator?

Kinda what I was wondering--how can Russell Crowe make Robin Hood without people calling it the next Gladiator as long as it features a) costumes and b) fighting and c) period setting.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The producer called it "the Gladiator version of Robin Hood." So there's that.
