It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about Ridley Scott’s upcoming Alien film which categorically will be a prequel, not a sequel. If that wasn’t monumental enough we’ve got some new info that claims the film will be released in 3D, which can be seen as a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective.
Last night we brought you some high quality photos from the upcoming Ridley Scott drama, Robin Hood and today we’ve got the first international trailer. The film stars Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett as the fabled Robin Hood and Maid Marian. After watching this trailer a few times, you might wonder if this is the Gladiator sequel Scott always wanted to make.
The first official photos from Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood have surfaced on an Australian website called, CourierMail. The film’s two leads are natives of the country so we shouldn’t be surprised that they got first dibs on any images. The pictures feature Russell Crowe as the title character, Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian, a few of the Merry Men, and director Scott.
Ridley Scott is aware that sci-fi fans everywhere are dying to know what’s going to happen with the pending prequel to Alien. The last time we heard, both he and brother Tony Scott were going to produce the film via their Scott Free banner, and were actively looking for a director. Some people even stated that Ridley himself might once again step into the director’s chair. Over at Empire, they caught up with the man in question to discuss what’s really going with Alien.
Avatar hasn’t even been released yet and there are already rumors that a sequel could be in the works. This isn’t a foreign concept since a lot of big budget films are created with franchises in mind. In this case that would be a bit risky considering Avatar’s unprecedented subject matter. Over at MarketSaw, they’ve revealed some info about a possible follow up to the film as well as an Alien prequel.
Ridley Scott can easily be categorized as one of the most talented directors of the past 30 years. He’s done it all, and according to several reports his next project may delve into the world of fashion. EW is reporting that Scott is looking to direct a biopic centering on Italian businessman Maurizio Gucci and his wife Patrizia. It will be aptly titled Gucci, and you won’t believe who the director has in mind to play the main characters.
Ridley Scott has landed another job, and it will involve him adapting a TV mini-series for the big screen. According to Variety, the legendary director is attached to the project, Red Riding. The film has nothing to do with the fabled tale from your childhood, this story is much more sinister.
There’s been movement on the Ridley Scott front. According to THR, the director is looking to adapt Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World from novel to film. The project is established at Universal, with his Scott Free Productions set to produce alongside Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way banner. The screenplay will be penned by Apocalypto writer Farhad Safinia, who’s expected to begin work shortly.
