istaksamson Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 what is it with the spartacus mythos and hollywood? this is the fourth(?) incarnation of spartacus in movies or tv. and every version has its take, almost like every generation has to have its own version of the story. this particular version, i can't discern yet what it wants to say. kurt douglas wanted to say that sacrifice for the greater good was his spartacus. the early 2000's version was more or less the same, but more contemporary. this one, if i am not mistaken, is saying that spartacus is doing this mostly because of the woman he loved. hmm.

nino1481 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 'Spartacus' star Whitfield dies of lymphoma at 39Associated Press - 53 minutes ago LOS ANGELES - Andy Whitfield, the 39-year-old star of the cable series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," has died. Manager Sam Maydew says Whitfield died Sunday of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Sydney, Australia. Whitfield's wife Vashti in a statement called her husband a "beautiful young warrior" who died on a "sunny Sydney morning" in the "arms of his loving wife." Whitfield — who was born in Wales and lived in Australia — was a virtual unknown when he was cast as the title hero in "Spartacus," a hit original series for the Starz network that made waves with its graphic violence and sexuality. Whitfield was preparing for the second season when he was diagnosed 18 months ago. In January the network announced that another Australian actor, Liam McIntyre, would take over the role.

the_passerby5981 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Andy Whitfield of "Spartacus" dies at 39http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/09/12/AP100120055437_1_620x350.jpgAndy Whitfield in "Spartacus: Blood and Sand." (Credit: AP) (CBS/AP) Andy Whitfield, who played Spartacus in the Starz series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" - in which there is a lot of blood and sand - has died. He was 39. Whitfield died Sunday in Sydney, Australia, 18 months after he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, manager Sam Maydew told the Associated Press. "On a beautiful sunny Sydney spring morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his loving wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18 month battle with lymphoma cancer," Whitfield's wife Vashti said in a statement. "He passed peacefully surrounded by love. Thank you to all his fans whose love and support have help carry him to this point. He will be remembered as the inspiring, courageous and gentle man, father and husband he was." Andy Whitfield - who was born in Wales and moved to Australia in 1999 - was a virtual unknown when he was cast as the legendary Thracian slave in "Spartacus," a role made famous by Kirk Douglas in the 1960 Stanley Kubrick film. The series proved a breakout hit for the Starz network and made waves with its graphic violence and sexuality. Whitfield appeared in all 13 episodes of the first season that aired in 2010, and was preparing to shoot the second when he was diagnosed with cancer. While waiting for Whitfield's treatment and expected recovery, the network produced a six-part prequel, "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena," that aired earlier this year with only a brief voiceover from the actor. But in January after Whitfield's condition grew worse, the network announced that another Australian actor, Liam McIntyre, would take over the role. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Andy Whitfield," Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said in a statement Sunday night. "We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in `Spartacus' and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life." Whitfield's previous credits included appearances on the Australian TV shows "Packed to the Rafters" and "McLeod's Daughters." Source. Quote Link to comment
istaksamson Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Songs and praises for a true Thracian, Andy Whitfield. I have to admit, this brought a tear to my eye when I found out about his passing. His Spartacus is right up there with Kirk Douglas' version. Quote Link to comment

the_passerby5981 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm not fond of math but I count Spartacus: Blood and Sand as 1, and Spartacus: Gods of the Arena as 2. So, here is 3 (at least by my count), debuting January 27: http://static.tvguide.com/MediaBin/Content/111107/News/1_mon/111107spartacus1.jpgStarz Orders Another Season of SpartacusNov 7, 2011 05:07 PM ETby Robyn Ross Liam McIntyreSpartacus will be back for a third season, Starz announced Monday. "There is no denying the impact Spartacus has had in the marketplace with fans across the globe thirsting for the continuation of the epic tale," said Carmi Zlotnick, an executive with the premium cable outlet. Spartacus returns with a Vengeance in January Last week, the network announced that Season 2 of the series, titled Spartacus: Vengeance, would debut Jan. 27. It marks Liam McIntyre's debut in the title role, replacing Andy Whitfield who died from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. "We are thrilled to come to an early agreement that allows the writers and talent to get right back to work in preparing for season three," Zlotnick added. A prequel, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, ran early this year. Are you excited for more Spartacus? SOURCE Quote Link to comment
