Framestore - From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. 24 years after Gladiator, Scott leveraged modern filmmaking techniques to capture his most epic action scenes to date—and our teams were at the heart of it all.

Led by VFX Supervisor Christian Kaestner and VFX Producer Jeanne-Elise Prevost, our talented artists brought Scott’s ambitious vision to life, delivering 136 epic shots. The postvis, expertly handled by our FPS team led by Visualization Supervisor Darrin Hofmeyr, was instrumental in shaping these gladiatorial sequences.

From the chaos of a bloodied baboon frenzy, to a fierce duel with a rhino, and the hauntingly stylized River Styx environment, every scene was crafted by our artists with meticulous attention to detail. By combining cutting-edge VFX with Ridley Scott’s visionary storytelling, we helped turn ambitious concepts into true entertainment.
