SIR Ridley Scott is in Malta for a brief visit,
scouting locations for the sequal of his block-
buster Gladiator movie.
Spotted in Mdina, the director has picked
Malta as one of the locations, with filming
expected to start by July.
MaltaToday learnt of this sequal back in
March, when industry sources said the sets
for the Roman-era epic film were being cre-
ated at Fort Ricasoli which will once again be
transformed into the Coliseum.
Some 200 workers were already engaged in
set production.
The Gladiator sequel is expected to star
Paul Mescal as the protagonist while Holly-
wood star Denzel Washington will feature as
Mescal's rival.
Sources have said the film will be shot most-
ly in Malta with some studio work in the UK.
This will be Scott's fourth film in Malta,
having shot White Squall in 1996, the first
Gladiator movie in 1999, and Napoleon last
year.
