Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures are teaming for a three-night only re-release in action of Ridley Scott’s Oscar-winning sword-and-sandals drama “Gladiator”.
Russell Crowe’s starred in the film as Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, a roman man and favorite of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) who is betrayed by a corrupt prince (Joaquin Phoenix) and comes to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge. Connie Nielsen and Djimon Hounsou co-star.
Hitting just as DVDs began to become widely adopted, “Gladiator” has been a home video staple ever since on top of a critically acclaimed and highly successful box-office run with $460 million worldwide – the second highest-grossing film globally that year.
Celebrating the film’s 20th anniversary, the film will be getting a new Limited Edition 4K release on on May 5th and ahead of that will have screenings in the States on Monday April 13th, Wednesday April 15th and Sunday April 19th. Tickets can be purchased at FathomEvents.com or participating theater box offices, with lists of participating theaters at that site.
