I used to think Ridley was a total over-confident cocky jackass with the way he conducted interviews... But as I grew into adulthood,I realized that this man may be the best Hollywood director interview there is because of his bluntness and honesty. He knows he's talented, he knows he made good stuff and he doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks. He's an absolute delight to watch.

I could listen to Sir Ridley all day....

Always been my favorite director. Starting with Blade runner & Alien. A true master of his craft.

Top Director...incredible visualist

Ridley is a legend and hilarious! His contributions to film will be felt for an eternity. Bravo old man.

I saw Black Hawk Down last night. Man what a masterpiece by Ridley Scott

I love listening to Ridley Scott talk about film and his approach. Very inspirational

I love Ridley Scott's work and the fact that he's willing to share his process.

Damn, this guy knows how to make a movie ...

Happy 80th Birthday Ridley Scott

He calls Ryan Gosling "the OTHER guy" BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I have never laughed harder. Legend

He should've won the oscar for best director for gladiator

Ridley has very high brow humor most people won't react to

an absolute legend and beast of a director, gurus such as Cameron and Nolan have been inspired by him, 'nuff said!

Ah man, wish there was a part 2 for this!

Living legend

An Amazing Video on The Interview Of Great Film Experiences in Life Of The TOPMOST FILM DIRECTOR Of HOLLYWOOD FILM INDUSTRY,I Salute U Sir,Thanks a lot to the Channel for uploading such a wonderful video on You Tube Channel👍🙏🤟🙏Have a nice day Sir🙏👍

Fantastic interview. 10 hours too short.

One of the best ever

EXCELLENT DIRECTOR !!!

I really liked Prometheus and all the knowledge behind it, but I think it was bad idea to omit or shorten some scenes from the movie. After watching the fan made directors cut It all made more sense and had more space to develop.

Hilariously ironic that one of the world's greatest directors is holding the mic way too close to his mouth causing the sound to distort. Even geniuses make mistakes. But a brilliant interview and Sir R is a great raconteur. What an amazing talent.

Oh Ridley, talking about the inital Prometheus sequel script which was completly rewritten into Alien: Covenant at 23:51.

Please keep a certain distance with the microphone to achieve a best sound quality, Sir Ridley Scott.

Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 thank you for the invitation to the mind of great visionary of cinematic wonder’s of reality

"That was way before Truffuat that, dude." Only Ridley Scott

Wonderful interview!!!!

anyone else getting a laugh seeing Ridley Scott holding a really poor mic ? its a funny contrast to the technology at his fingertips when doing a movie. like seeing james caermon giving an interview while wearing 1950s 3d specs for 40 minutes. both are inspirational directors. ridleys my favourite easily. and to be fair on the audio recording, ridleys mic technique is shocking haha, but thats why you don't hand out mics that require the user to be informed about microphone polar patterns. thanks for sharing.

great show

Fantastic interview. Learnt lots

That was a weird place to end the interview lol

I love him

Top director... Best Zebesian space dragon film maker

I love Ridley's approach to filmmaking. Particularly because he storyboards his films. So important. Many great directors do. Hayao Miyazaki is another who boards his films.

excellent.

I just love the guy

Ridley Scott is honest, no apologetic, master of his talent.

Who is invited to do a documentary film LIFE FOR A DAY? I am THANK YOU RIDLEY SCOTT

Anyone else think the interviewer looks like Will Ferrell after a pie binge?

Thank u Bafta guru🙏🙏

I wonder which specific music videos that Ridley Scott mentions are related to "Blade Runner". One that comes to my mind is "Tonight Tonight Tonight" by Genesis - litelally shot in the Bradbury building. Any others?

I laughed my ass off when he talked about Harvey's comment XD

I love how he hasn't lost his accent totally. Distinct North East twang

This man is seriously overdue for an Oscar and/or BAFTA

Ridley is the best director.

What a sad ending :(

This should be his new movies title. Make it a rom com, then halfway through, bring in the denomination of the xenomorph.

I’d love to hear Ridley talk about Apocalypse Now and it’s influence on him more at length

Ridley Scott is Fucking AWESOME!!!!!

Would love to read the novela

Amazing to see the greatest director of all time not able to place microphone properly

bright man.

Lol the Kurbick impersonation.

Only Movies I seen By Sir Ridley Scott is First Alien movie too alien prequels Blade Runner Robin Hood one with Russel crow i would love to interview sir Ridley Scott to ask about ideas about Alien movie and prequel how he come up with it and Blade runner as I am inspired by His movies mainly science fiction movies as I am inspired to star or make movie like Ridley Scott does anyone where he got ideas from making first Alien movie and blade runner is something about on you tube or anyway I could get the answers from please could someone let me know please thanks He brilliant film maker 🙂

This was great but why not end it properly with however THEY closed the interview rather than on that grim note about Kubrick?

Talk about Blade Runner 25:40

22:43 Ridley Scott's spite towards Alien vs Predator most amusing.

Cool.

♥♥♥♥♥

35:42 "you wanna know~ how i got these scarsss...?)

Min 28:30 Don't do it Ridley!!! Don't do it!!!!😲😲😲😲

do you know what deat means?

I can't hear his voice properly because of that shitty mic...

Despite odd choices Alien Covenant was a thrilling chapter, not if Ridley will get to make his final Prequel setting up the events of Alien.

Alien starts at 17:15

23:21 "Who made it and why..." // I still don't see why... I don't think he _explained_ it .... at least the _why_ seems beyond any reasonable explanation....

What did he say at 22:03?

could have used a mic stand, clip, etc.... but that would have made it uncomfortable for Scott and everyone listening. Microphones are still new, it will take time to understand the technology.

03:36 Seth Rogen laughing?

uhhhh BAFTA cant afford proper microphones or audio mixing? wow... where do i donate money?

Is he eating the bloody mic?

Black Rain and Kingdom of Heaven

Ridley was on amphetamines - god no wonder he was able to get through so much

Trying to follow in your giant footsteps. Thanks Ridley.

do you want to be the richest in the cemetery???

three hundred years as one of our best ever directors./ zero knowledge of how an SM58 works.

drop the mic down ridley for god's sake i can barely make out the words you are saying (ironic)microphones have a polar pattern with dropout zones for sensitivity and he is speaking right into the edge of the void of the dead zone for the mic being able to pick up his voice

Thelma & Louise

How sad that he doesn't mention that the core of the creative team behind Alien(Dan O Bannon, Moebius, Chris Foss, and Giger) was taken directly from Horodowski's Dune.

Net,net

The sound mand should be SHOT! Give him a crappy mic that allows plosives.......Sound screws up more productions than any other thing.....editing a close second.

I wonder if Scott was on amphetamines when he was doing Alien. It would make sense, because it does have a sort of dreamlike - or druglike - quality. Not in the psychedelic sense, but in the sense of its stark, realistic vibe.

jb

Why can't he speak English? Or have I learnt the language too well, as Bernard Shaw would put it, because I am a non-native?

Liked Ridley until he talked shit about a camera operator who was standing right next to him in the Prometheus making of doc. Lost all respect. The dude is seriously high and mighty and not humble.

Batman? Confused am I.

...fine Ridley, but how about remembering NOT to put the mic that hasn't a pop filter on it, so close to your breath that it pops at every word making ruining this interview.

do you know what death means???

Ridley Scott > James Cameron

sorry...man not mand

What a boring, pompous interviewer. Not engaging ( or at least pretending to) with Scott in anyway. Just rattles of questions no flow. Thankfully Scott as always is a funny,absorbing interview.

This guy get's never confronted with the garbage he produced in his career

Why can´t you people use a decent microphone set-up instead of this garbage?

Too bad Prometheus was terrible. So is Alien: Covenant.

ridley sells his mother so cheap...he cant believe it

no one has the balls to tell him how to hold a mic lmao

An amazing, iconic filmmaker whose impacted billions including Indirectly those who've NEVER seen his films via inspiring those who Directly Do! AND..... who's single handedly RUINED one of those franchises by stripping away ALL sense of AWE & WONDER and replacing Beautiful Ambiguity with Nonsensical Canon, Mind Numbingly Bad Character Motivation and Cringe Worthy 'Drunk Uncle Dancing at Wedding' Answers to Questions NEVER Requested!! Seems Ridley forgot Hitchcock's Rule of: "what could be behind the door is scarier than what is!";... and if one is insistent on giving away all the answers.. make them sensical to story that preceded it!! HOW COULD DAVID HAVE MADE THE XENOMORPHS WHEN EGGS ABOARD THE SHIP IN FIRST FILM WAS THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD?!?

Prometheus is complete shit of a movie. I don't understand how the same guy who made Alien could make such an abomination as Prometheus and second one shit of a movie, i don't even remember the name of the last one. It's so bad that even Alien vs Predator looks decent against them.

They should have allowed somebody else to do the new Alien-franchise-films, which then became "Prometheus" and "Alien-Covenant", because they turned out to be a mess in his hands. They should have given up on the idea to connect the earlier films to the newer ones. They should have been bold enough to try something new. Ok, these are sci-fi-films, nobody expects them to be scientifically accurate, but man...astronauts going to an alien planet taking off their helmets in Prometheus, playing around with completely unknown lifeforms, having no monitoring procedures on the spaceship to determine if they are free of alien contamination, etc. And in Covenant they don't even wear protective suits anymore, because why should they...they are just the best astronauts and complete professionals, but somehow forgot about it. What a bunch of crap. Visually they are very well made, otherwise a pile of garbage. A complete waste of money and talent. And I don't care about the directors cut. I went to the cinema to watch the film and expect something remotely coherent and qualitative. I don't understand why he is doing films if he doesn't have the right to cut the version which goes to the cinemas his way. It doesn't make any sense.

what a horrid microphone. Almost makes the thing unlistenable
