Ridley Scott: Live-Action ‘Blade Runner’ and ‘Alien’ TV Series Being Developed, Pilots Written

Brandon Boyd has shared a new animated video for his latest single, ‘A Better Universe’ – you can watch it below.Produced by John Congleton, the rousing new track is the fourth to be lifted from the Incubus frontman’s upcoming new solo album, ‘Echoes And Cocoons’.In a statement explaining the inspiration behind ‘A Better Universe’, Boyd said: “Did you ever encounter someone so far gone in their malignant narcissism and self aggrandizing, self assured egomania that all you could do was take a deep breath and walk away? Of course you have, you see a potential ‘them’ in the mirror each day.“Have you ever wished that that ‘someone’ would die? Would that even solve the problem? For if they found an audience so eager and ready to glutton themselves on the message, could it not be argued that there will be yet another wolf in wolf’s clothing waiting in the wings to rush in and fill that void? I found myself in the teeth of this dilemma recently and I struggled with the ethical problem that was clinging to its heels. Then, shortly after locking horns with this philosophical bull, I met the person whom I’d come to this unfortunate impasse with in a dream.”Boyd then went on to quote some of the song’s lyrics: “I met you in a dream, and in the dream you died/ I slow danced on your grave, and I got all teary eyed/ I woke up with a smile, wiped the tears away/ I wished that it were real/ So it goes, so I’ll say, I’m sorry but it’s a better universe without you in it/ Did you read the book or did you just see the movie?/ Every breath you take is just a waste of air.”“Do I wish ill upon my fomenter? I do not.

Holly Jones Bolivian-Mexican filmmaker Natalia López Gallardo enjoyed tandem careers in editing (“Jauja,” “Post Tenebras Lux”) and acting (“Nuestro Tiempo”), as she made her debut as auteur with the short film “En el cielo como en la tierra.” In her first feature-length project, “Robe of Gems,” she tackles the parallel individual struggles of three women against a backdrop of unrelenting cartel infiltration.What lured you into directing after careers in editing and acting? Was it a natural progression?Definitely, yes, it was there, but I think maybe it took time to accumulate the big necessity. I think it’s very important to have that need to do a film. It’s not a desire; it’s not an objective; you have to need it because that impulse that makes you start a film has to last maybe five years with the same power.

Ridley Scott’s next film may very well be coming to a cellphone screen near you — because he has very specific thoughts about why his latest flick, The Last Duel, bombed at the box office!

Ridley Scott is no stranger to films that underperform at the box office. Hell, one of his most famous films, “Blade Runner,” is often thought of as a box office bomb.

Ridley Scott is currently in the middle of promoting his second film of 2021, “The House of Gucci.” But even for a guy that has released two films in 2021, he still has a number of other projects in the pipeline, including a new Joaquin Phoenix film “Kitbag,” which will film in early-2022 and two new TV series based on his most famous franchises, “Blade Runner” and “Alien.” READ MORE: Ridley Scott Compares The “Exceedingly Disappointing” ‘Last Duel’ Box Office To His ‘Blade Runner’ Experience Speaking to the BBC, Scott was updating a number of his upcoming projects.

Excess is synonymous with the Gucci brand. The haute couture institution invites its customers to share in the opulence enjoyed by its founding family through their merchandise, imbuing each slouchy dress and chic little purse with the luxury of their palatial Italian villas and matching fortunes.

Ridley Scott, the director of the new movie House of Gucci, is sharing an update on the exciting projects that he has in the works.

Ridley Scott has claimed that millennial audiences were to blame for “The Last Duel” achieving poor box office ratings. 

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic“House of Gucci” has a transfixing backstabbing allure. It may be a drama about a crazy rich Euro chic Old World fashion dynasty, with a cast dominated by American actors scheming and emoting in gaudy Italian accents, but that doesn’t mean it’s some operatic piece of high camp.

The Last Duel.The filmmaker, who recently directed the medieval epic as well as House Of Gucci, commented on the fact that the former had taken $27million at the global box office, after being made on a $100million budget.“Disney did a fantastic promotion job,” Scott told Marc Maron on his WTF podcast. “The bosses loved the movie because I was concerned it was not for them.”He went on: “I think what it boils down to — what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cell phones.

Ridley Scott is blaming the lack of box office success on his recent film The Last Duel on the audience.

House Of Gucci, made by the actual Gucci family.Directed by Scott, the film follows the real-life murder of Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), former head of the fashion house, who was shot dead in 1995. His former wife, Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), was convicted of arranging his murder in 1998 and served 18 years in prison.Earlier this year, Patrizia Gucci, who is the great-grandchild of Guccio Gucci, said she was worried the film “goes beyond the headline-grabbing true-crime story and pries into the private lives of the Guccio Gucci heirs”.Speaking to AP (via Variety), Gucci said: “We are truly disappointed.

Ridley Scott is reacting to Patrizia Reggiani‘s criticisms over his movie House of Gucci.

The director of “House of Gucci” isn’t sweating criticism from the real-life subject of the film.

famous directors who are not fans of the superhero movie genre.In an interview with Deadline ahead of the release of “House of Gucci,” the 83-year-old “Alien” director did not mince words in expressing how he feels about blockbuster hero flicks.“Their scripts are not any f–king good,” he candidly told the publication in response to a question asking him to specify his main gripe with superhero films.“I narrowed it down to this,” he said. “Almost always, the best films are driven by the characters, and we’ll come to superheroes after this if you want, because I’ll crush it.

Director Ridley Scott is the latest addition to the list of famous faces who are not fans of superhero movies, famously made by studios like Marvel and DC.

Earlier this year, Ridley Scott released the big-budget, period drama, “The Last Duel.” The reviews were generally solid, with many predicting some awards contention in the future. However, when the film hit cinemas, the box office results were terrible, with “The Last Duel” likely becoming one of the biggest bombs of 2021.

Ridley Scott has weighed in on superhero films, calling them “boring as shit” and suggesting that some of his own films were “great” examples of the genre.Discussion around the genre has been heightened in recent years in the wake of Marvel‘s success, as a number of directors have questioned their merits, including Martin Scorsese and Dune‘s Denis Villeneuve.Speaking to Deadline, the House of Gucci director opined: “The best films are driven by the characters, and we’ll come to superheroes after this if you want, because I’ll crush it. I’ll fucking crush it.

His estranged wife, Patrizia Reggiani, was found guilty of hiring a hit man to murder a husband who kicked her to the curb after her attempts to exert influence on the business led to the fracturing of the family.

We’ve seen seasoned filmmakers weigh in on superhero/comic book films with Denis Villeneuve and Martin Scorsese, expressing how they’re not exactly for them for various reasons. British director Ridley Scott (“House of Gucci,” “The Last Duel“) hasn’t been shy about sharing his thoughts about superhero movies either, despite trying to make a feature adaptation of the comic book “Queen & Country“ for 20th Century Studios.
