Gladiator was a remake?

Apparently so. Maybe everyone else knew this, but I didn't.

Ridley Scott's 2000 Gladiator

Russell Crowe ... Maximus
Joaquin Phoenix ... Commodus
Connie Nielsen ... Lucilla
Oliver Reed ... Proximo
Richard Harris ... Marcus Aurelius



appears to be pretty much a remake of Anthony Mann's 1964 "The Fall of the Roman Empire".

Sophia Loren ... Lucilla
Stephen Boyd ... Livius
Alec Guinness ... Marcus Aurelius
James Mason ... Timonides
Christopher Plummer ... Commodus



Netflix 'em both and tell me I'm phibbin'.
