First line
Everyone interested in tracing the development of Gladiator has access to various sources: two preliminary versions of David Franzoni's screenplay; several Internet interviews with Franzoni, director Ridley Scott, and co-producer Douglas Wick; the film itself: extra footage on its DVD issue: numerous comments on the World Wide Web: and, finally, the ancient historical sources for the life of the villainous Commodus -Cassius Dio, Herodian, and the Augustan History.1
From the rear cover
Ridley Scott's Gladiator was the first epic film on a Roman subject in 35 years and generated a far-reaching renewal of interest in Roman history and culture. This book analyzes Gladiator from historical, cultural, and cinematic perspectives.
It comprises ten essays by experts, examining the film as a representation of history and as cinema. Subjects covered include Roman history and gladiatorial combat, the cinematic origins and traditions of Gladiator, and the film's modern social and political overtones. The book also includes translations of the film's most important historical sources.
