GLADIATOR II von Oscar-Preisträger und Regisseur Ridley Scott ist die langerwartete Fortsetzung einer epischen Saga um Macht, Intrigen und Rache im antiken Rom. Vor Jahren musste Lucius (Paul Mescal) den Tod des geliebten Helden Maximus durch die Hand seines Onkels miterleben. Nun ist er gezwungen, selbst das Kolosseum zu betreten, nachdem seine Heimat von den tyrannischen römischen Kaisern erobert wurde. Die Zukunft des Reiches steht auf dem Spiel. Mit Wut im Herzen muss sich Lucius auf seine Vergangenheit besinnen, um die Stärke zu finden, den Ruhm Roms seinem Volk zurückzugeben.

Seine Filmmusik deckt das gesamte Spektrum hochkarätiger Projekte ab, von Action über Drama bis hin zu Animationsfilmen - jedes einzelne mit der nötigen emotionalen Wucht und atmosphärischen Intensität. In Gladiator II wird der Hit-Track „Now We Are Free“ durch weitere epische Motive wie „Strength and Honor” ergänzt.
