The first film is a modern classic in some circles, and though Ridley Scott is in the director's chair for the sequel, many are not sure it should exist in the first place Thankfully for Paramount, while the second film does not ever reach the heights of that Oscar-winning original, it more than justifies its[...]

After more than two decades, the epic saga of Gladiator is back with Gladiator II, directed by the visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott, which aims to incorporate more action, higher stakes, and plenty of nostalgia to appease audiences across the board But that's what we expect from a well-rounded filmmaker like Scott anyway!

The Alien franchise has been in a weird spot for a while now. Prometheus and Alien: Covenant have their diehard defenders and fans (hello, Bleeding Cool Manager Editor Mark Seifert), but they have had a harder time connecting with audiences and critics. Romulus seemed to hit the mark, more or less, and Ridley Scott has said in a new[...]

This Fall, audiences will finally have the opportunity to witness an official sequel to Ridley Scott's 2000 film Gladiator, continuing the popular story after more than two decades of conversations about its potential However, after the divisive release of the Gladiator II trailer and news of its costly budget, fans are definitely cautious about the[...]

Instead of one Emporer causing problems, this time, we have two, and Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger play them. The two Emporers are inspired by real-life figures; in real life, they were brothers but not twins, but actual history wasn't the only thing that Ridley Scott was drawing from when creating these roles, as he explained in a recent interview[...]

Ridley Scott is usually a pretty sure thing, but he hasn't been the box office draw in the last couple of years that he has been in the past. The Last Duel absolutely bombed at the box office, doing only $30 million, a reported budget of $100. House of Gucci and  Napoleon did better, $166 million on a reported[...]

They have an impressive cast, director Ridley Scott hits more than he misses, and the approach to the story sounds like one that could work Now they just have to stick the landing and probably make at least half a billion dollars at the worldwide box office This is a movie that cannot survive on accolades[...]

Alien fans hold Ridley Scott in high regard, as his vision brought our beloved Xenomorphs to life As far as we know, way back then, he passed the baton to James Cameron, who made the equally classic space action film Aliens After that, directors like David Fincher were brought in to keep the franchise alive[...]

Director Ridley Scott and Zimmer have worked together on several films, so many people likely assumed that Zimmer would return for Gladiator 2, but that doesn't appear to be the case According to Variety, Harry Gregson-Williams will compose the music for the sequel to Gladiator Gregson-Williams is often cited as Zimmer's protege and has worked with[...]

However, the film does have the added benefit of being just under a year away, so there is a little bit of wiggle room for Ridley Scott and his team to get everything done Scott recently spoke to Rotten Tomatoes (via CBR) and revealed more details about who Paul Mescal is playing and what said[...]

It's another reminder that no one is better at scenes like this than Sir Ridley Scott, and even if the rest of this film is a mess, we're in for some really, really well-done battle scenes to absolutely gawk at. Napoleon will have some competition at the box office when it does its theatrical run, but you[...]

Ridley Scott is on board producing, and Alvarez was quite nervous to show him the film, as he told Guillermo del Toro at the DGA Latino Summit 2023 The standalone movie is taking a page out of the Predator franchise, with 20th Century Studios doing a soft reboot of the franchise ala 2022's Prey An Alien[...]

It turns out that when it comes to Gladiator 2, Sir Ridley Scott did something a little different Before the movie was greenlit, he watched Normal People and could not get star Paul Mescal out of his head So, when it came time to cast Gladiator 2, Mescal was still in the back of Scott's head, as he[...]

In the year 2000, director Ridley Scott dropped the epic historical drama film Gladiator, earning rave reviews and an impressive $500 million during its theatrical run But what we weren't expecting was for the filmmaker to return decades later with a hyped follow-up story in mind Nonetheless, Gladiator 2 is officially coming soon, and now[...]

When you have one of the best behind the camera, things tend to flow much better, and Ridley Scott is, without a doubt, one of the masters Not only is he one of the best directors out there right now, but no one knows how to do cinematic battle scenes better than him, and that[...]

Until then, directors have to promote their big fall movies on their own, which is exactly what Ridley Scott is doing for Napoleon However, that isn't the only film he has on the docket; the other is Gladiator 2, which has been in varying levels of development since 2001 One of the new faces joining[...]

This year, we are getting another big-budget film from Sir Ridley Scott, and he is tackling history yet again This time, it's the story of Napoleon and all of the insanity that came with that real-life story For Scott, that means planning some massive battle scenes In a new vignette put out by Sony Pictures and[...]

While a lot of people are hyping up Oppenheimer, I'd put money down that there is a better chance that Oppenheimer ends up sweeping the technical awards while films like this and Napoleon [provided Napoleon is good but it's Sir Ridley] fighting over the big four categories. Director Ridley Scott (center) on the set with cast and crew of Apple Original[...]

Sir Ridley Scott doesn't go halfway when making his movie He goes big, or he doesn't bother to show up at all So when we all learned that he would be making a film about Napoleon Bonaparte, we all knew it would be big Everything we have seen from this movie has been massive, and[...]

More amateur directors might be overwhelmed by this, but Sir Ridley Scott has been doing massive war scenes like the ones in Napoleon for a long time He knows as he explained to Entertainment Weekly, that to film a battle well, you have to approach and plan it like, well, a battle. "I can read all the[...]

Director Ridley Scott is already teasing a much longer cut of Napoleon, but that theatrical cut will probably be nothing to sneeze at because no one is better at capturing something this epic as Sir Ridley No one in the business can shoot battle scenes better, and the footage we've seen is extremely impressive[...]

We are seeing this with Zack Snyder with Rebel Moon, and now we are seeing it with Ridley Scott and Napoleon Sir Ridley is no stranger to extended and director's cuts, but he's already putting it out there that Apple should let him release the 270-minute version of Napoleon, a cut that is over four hours long[...]
