Gladiators Vs. Werewolves
 |
?Finally, someone made the movie that was in my head during the entirety of 7th grade (I also would have accepted Gladiators Vs Vampires, but maybe they’re saving them for the sequel). There’s not much to say about this upcoming masterpiece except that it delights me to the very core of my being; oh, and FilmDrunk has the full synopsis — which can indeed be summarized as “Roman gladiators fight some werewolves” — and what is undoubtedly the amazing true story behind the movie’s conception. Go check it out. I’ll be back here swooning and drawing some concept art in my Trapper Keeper.
