Shooting nowadays a genre movie in Italy is almost impossible. Producers are afraid of anything that is not your average comedy, drama or coming-of-age movie (or all three combined). Fortunately not everyone is thinking like that and that’s where Morituris comes into the game. But what is the movie about?

Here is the Press Release:

“Yes, there will be gladiators.” It’s one of the few confidences currently revealed about this new horror movie in production under the shade of Colosseum. Morituris is an italian indie horror project helmed by roman director Raffaele Picchio, currently in work in progress, that would blend violence of modern horror and a “ancient” genre like peplum. Few has been known of the plot but a statement concerning some historical references . “Rome. 73 B.C. .Spartacus leaded the rebellion of 200 gladiators which saw them opposed to the inhumanity in which Rome forced them. During the riot they stood for a long time against Roman soldiers. Few against a whole army. Some of them went crazy and started murders, rapes and violences. Spartacus punished them with death. But in that Lands, when blood get shed, they come back..."The first teaser posters and two really exploitation promotional teasers are available on the official site of the movie.

Well, that’s sound like something I would watch, but take a look a the trailers for yourself.
By the way, the special effects are created by Sergio Stivaletti (Phenomena, Opera, Demons) himself.
At least, it should be gory.
