Ridley Scott reveals why he believes he’s not just filmmaker
Ridley Scott also calls out expected stories that are being made in Hollywood
Ridley Scott arguably is, if not the greatest filmmaker in Hollywood, and he explains why.
In a new interview with The Times,the auteur gives examples from his career, underscoring how he has been ahead of the Hollywood curve.
Alienchanged sci-fi horror. Then, Blade Runnerhit cinemas and redefined cyberpunk cinema.
Thelma & Louisehelped filmmakers understand a unique way of portraying female characters.
Then, Gladiatorwidened the canvas of imagination for making historical epics.
“Every time, you are vulnerable, he said, adding, “Also, I never want to repeat myself, and all my films have been on the money.”
Against the backdrop of such an imposing career, Scott gives a title to himself: an influencer.
“I’ve been ahead of the game frequently and, if you’re ahead of the game, you’re an influencer. So I’m not a filmmaker, I’m an influencer,” the noted director argued.
However, the Oscar-winning director, at 88, is still not over yet.
He says there are ideas stashed in his filmmaking bucket list that need to be made.
“I’ve never done a Western,” he shared.
“I have cast Hugh Jackman for my ‘Treasure Island’ adaptation,” Scott continued.
“I want to do a musical and, also, have a marvelous film about the African elephant,” he noted.
For now, Scott is gearing up for his film, The Dog Stars, starring Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, and Josh Brolin.
