What is your favorite Ridley Scott film?
Crazy news has come out from Hollywood insider Matt Belloni, as he claims Ridley Scott dropped Paul Mescal from 'The Dog Stars' because he blames Mescal for the failure of 'Gladiator II' for not being masculine enough like Russell Crowe, who led the first film.
'Gladiator II' made $462 million worldwide on a reported $300 million budget but was slammed by both critics and viewers. I think the big problem is that Scott's filming style has changed from each shot composed like a painting to lazily using multiple cameras.
This might be the best thing to happen for Mescal, as 'The Dog Stars' bombed at the box office with $8 million dollars and freed him to play Paul McCartney in Sam Mendes' four films about the Beatles. Did you like him in 'Gladiator II?'
Do you wish Paul Mescal was in 'The Dog Stars?' Comment below with your thoughts.
