Jacob Elordi Details Ridley Scott’s 11‑Camera Approach on Gladiator Sequel

His account shows Scott’s multi-camera setup sped shooting to about 45 minutes for long scenes.

Overview

  • Jacob Elordi confirmed he is in Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gladiator sequel during a Tuesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! hosted by Colman Domingo.
  • Elordi said Scott commonly uses as many as 11 cameras at once and that the setup let a nine-page scene be filmed in roughly 45 minutes.
  • He described that faster scene work often meant the cast could finish by late afternoon and sample local cuisine while the shoot moved from the Dolomites to Rome.
  • Elordi declined to disclose specifics about his character but framed working with Scott as a major career moment and cited a Denzel Washington quip about saying yes to Scott.
  • The remarks underline how a multi-camera method can shorten shooting days and affect scheduling, location logistics and actor experience on a large on-location production.
