It was recently announced that the new Spartacus revival series has been greenlit by STARZ and will be called Spartacus: House of Ashur. Based on the description, it's a "what if" kind of situation.

( I have....thoughts on this. )

Regardless, I have to say one of my favorite aspects of the Spartacus series is the dialogue. The way they used language in that show was amazing. Plus, if this gets more people to watching the main series and getting kind of a rejuvenating of the fandom in some way, they'd be a massive bonus.

++ There's going to be a Spartacus sequel series in the works, as confirmed by the creator. It would be ten years since the original series ended on STARZ. I don't have much thoughts on this development other than this: it better stay exactly the same, stylistically. That regardless of its budget there are absolutely no improvements whatsoever. The dramatic slow-motion scenes and the ridiculously gratuitous amounts of splattering blood, all of this was part of its charm, it became its signature that separated it from anything else on television back then and even today, so if they still stick with that then we're golden. That is all.

Furthermore, I hope that this awakens the Spartacus fandom, newcomers and older fans alike, (re)discovering the series and it having a kind of resurgence, because that show was so good.

++ Zhu Yilong's newest upcoming movie, Lost in the Stars, seems to essentially be a psychological thriller mystery, and just based on the trailer alone I'm deeply intrigued. Also, the teaser reminded me of the trailer for The Handmaiden, just from the way it was edited together in quick succession to the chosen music. It's effective, since it tells you nothing and it gets you curious of what it could possibly be about. Either way, I really want to see this whenever it becomes readily available.
