Gladiators is making its return to Australian television after a decade off-air, and while I do have fond memories of the show as an 11 year old in primary school, I’m probably less excited about it this time around.

I am however pretty impressed with the epic-of-a-promo thats been on-air recently, there are two versions of the spot, the first is for metro markets and ends with the monolithic Seven logo, and the other ends with the big G for regional networks.

The promo was filmed around Kiama, New South Wales, and was created by Motion Foundry, Tim Barrett, and Graham Donald.

Why is Gladiators suddenly reappearing in every country going?

The US are reviving Gladiators.
Australia are reviving Gladiators.
Here in the UK, Sky One are reviving Gladiators.

I have said it before and I will say it again, Seven do a good promo. And this is no exception.

Are you sure it was made in Australia? The mix of people and faces in the promo looks far more like a typical American population than an Australian one. There’s not one Asian face in there, which you might expect from an American promo but not an Australian one.

I wonder if it is not an Australian adaptation of an imported promo – maybe a few Australian scenes just to “localise” it a bit.
