Arthur Max (Gladiator II production designer) video interview

GoldDerby: At 78, Arthur Max has spent much of his professional life working alongside Ridley Scott. He describes the filmmaker as a “force of nature,” something Max likely realized back to their first feature film collaboration, 1997’s “G.I. Jane.” In the years that followed, it was Max who helped Scott realize his visions for 1970s Harlem (“American Gangster”), the far reaches of space (“The Martian,” “Prometheus”), and even 12th-century Jerusalem (“Kingdom of Heaven”).
