Ridley Scott

A study of the iconic and influential film director’s life and work, from the author of Stanley Kubrick: A Biography.
With celebrated works such as Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, and Gladiator, Ridley Scott has secured his place in Hollywood. This legendary director and filmmaker has had an undeniable influence on art and the culture of filmmaking, but is also a respected media businessman.
In Ridley Scott: A Biography, Vincent LoBrutto delves into Ridley Scott’s oeuvre in a way that allows readers to understand the yin and yang of his exceptional career, offering a unique crosscut between the biographical facts of Scott’s personal life—his birth and early days in northeast England, his life in New York City—and his career in Hollywood as a director and producer of television commercials, TV series, miniseries, and feature films.
Every film is presented, analyzed, and probed for a greater understanding of the visionary, his personality, and his thought process, for a deeper perception of his astounding work and accomplishments. The voices of cast and crew who have worked with Ridley Scott, as well as the words of the man himself, are woven throughout this book for a fully realized, critical biography, revealing the depth of the artist and his achievements.

    An important scene involving a large 3D hologram star map called the Orrery was inspired by the 1776 Joseph Wright painting A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery in which a scientist shows a mechanical planetarium by candlelight. The scene is reported to have been shot to a playback of Pink Floyd’s landmark “Dark Side of the Moon.”

    think more films in the mainstream should provoke discussion and not be simply entertainment.”

    When you start with his thoughts and longings, you start inside the man and then you see his shell. It becomes the metaphor for the whole film.2
