Enter ancient Rome with ILM‘s groundbreaking visual effects for Ridley Scott’s sequel, Gladiator II. The studio’s work on the sequel is nothing short of monumental, earning a BAFTA nomination for Best Special Visual Effects and two VES Award nominations—Outstanding Environment in a Photoreal Feature (Rome) and Outstanding Model in a Photoreal or Animated Project (The Colosseum).
ILM brought the grandeur of the Colosseum to life, combining cutting-edge technology with meticulous historical detail. The team reconstructed the iconic arena in breathtaking photorealism, seamlessly integrating it into the narrative’s sweeping battles and emotional depth.
Now streaming on Paramount+, Gladiator II takes the audience behind the scenes of this epic saga in all its scale, artistry, and innovation. Paying homage to the rich legacy of its predecessor, ILM’s visual effects redefine cinematic storytelling for a new generation.
