Gabriella Biscione stars as Antonia and Dimitri Leonidas plays Scorp in Roland Emmerich’s new gladiator epic set in ancient Rome, Those About to Die. The duo spoke with MovieWeb’s Greg Archer about casting characters they love and working with Emmerich and Anthony Hopkins. All episodes of Those About to Die are available to stream on Peacock.
“Those About to Die” is an epic drama set in the corrupt world of spectacle-based gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome that has never been told before – the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want more than anything else… blood and sport. The series introduces a cast of characters from across the Roman Empire who collide at the explosive intersection of sports, politics and dynasties.
