Ridley Scott Already Working On Gladiator III

Nov 18 2024

After 25 years, Gladiator II finally hits cinemas, reigniting excitement for a long-awaited trilogy. Director Sir Ridley Scott and star Paul Mescal are already teasing plans for Gladiator III.

Mescal told Variety, “Massively down. I don’t think it’ll take another 24 years, but I have no idea when it will be.”

Scott, at 87 and showing no signs of slowing down, revealed he’s already drafting the script. “I’ve got eight pages and the start of a strong framework,” he shared with Total Film.

He hinted at a major departure from the arena setting of the first two films, likely due to the evolution of the story.

SPOILERS:

Gladiator II ends with Lucius, grandson of Marcus Aurelius, defeating his former slave master in combat outside Rome after the co-Emperors Caracalla and Geta are killed.

He vows to rebuild Rome in his grandfather’s vision, positioning himself as de facto Emperor. Unlike Maximus, who perished in the Colosseum, Lucius’ story shifts beyond gladiatorial combat.

Scott compares the envisioned third film to The Godfather Part III or Dune: Messiah. Speaking to Premiere, he noted, “It’s about a man who doesn’t want the power he’s inherited, echoing Michael Corleone’s reluctant rise.”

Woman Breaks Record For Most Donated Breast Milk

Nov 18 2024

Alyse Ogletree, a 36-year-old woman from Texas, has broken her own Guinness World Record for the largest donation of breast milk, providing an incredible 2,645.58 litres to babies in need.

Previously, Alyse set the record by donating 1,568.79 litres. In an interview with Guinness World Records, she expressed her motivation: “I have a big heart. I may not be able to donate money consistently, but I can contribute in this way.”

In July 2023, Alyse donated her breast milk to the Mother’s Milk Bank of North Texas. The organisation estimates that one litre of breast milk can help sustain up to 11 preterm newborns.

Based on this calculation, Alyse’s contributions have benefited approximately 350,000 babies, an extraordinary achievement.

Alyse’s journey began when her first child, Kyle, was hospitalised. After filling the hospital’s freezer, a nurse introduced her to the concept of milk donation.

Since then, she has maintained a rigorous pumping schedule, hydrated well, and followed a nutritious diet, which allowed her to produce an exceptional supply of milk without any medical condition.

Calling it “one of the best feelings in the world,” Alyse is passionate about helping other mothers and educating them on the life-saving potential of breast milk donation.
