The master director talks about exploring new space and how to survive in Hollywood

by: Sean Woods

Ridley Scott has made some of the most iconic movies of all time – Gladiator, Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise – but has never directed a sequel. His new film, Prometheus, is the closest he’s ever come. It’s set in the same universe as his sci-fi/horror classic Alien, but it deals less with cinema’s most famous carnivorous xenomorph and more with the origins of humanity. The plot remains a guarded secret, but we can say this: A team of explorers sets off into deep space aboard the ship Prometheus to find our extraterrestrial creators, and something goes horribly wrong. You can always recognize a Scott movie – the meticulous art direction, the visual ballet, the pessimistic worldview. And after four decades making movies, the 74-year-old British director has still got the perfect mix of schoolboy enthusiasm and master-craftsman confidence. “People say I’m a workaholic,” he says. “But I think I just love to work.”
