Ridley Scott confirmed that two of his most enduring movies, "Blade Runner" and "Alien" live-action TV series are advancing rapidly, both of which are written by pilots.
"House of Gucci" Helmer said in an interview with the BBC on Monday that the "Blade Runner" adaptation is being planned as a 10-episode series: "We [have] compiled a pilot episode for "Blade Runner" and the Bible. Therefore, We have presented "Blade Runner" as a TV show for the first 10 hours."
Scott said that "aliens" are receiving "similar" treatments. I am writing a pilot and a bible about what happened in 8 to 10 hours.
News of the "Alien" series was first announced in December 2020. The show is being set up on a cable TV station, and Noah Hawley will serve as the host of the show. FX owner John Landgrave described the project last year as "the first "alien" story with the earth as the background-by combining the eternal horror of the first "alien" movie with the second uninterrupted Combined with the action, it will be a terrible thrill to get people back to their seats."
Scott has not discussed the "Blade Runner" TV show before. An animated series based on the iconic movie "Blade Runner: Black Lotus" premiered on the Adult Swimming Channel earlier this month.
When the interviewee Mishal Hussein asked about the reaction of the Gucci family to Scott's latest work, "The House of Gucci", Scott said he "don't know". Don't get involved. "
"It's about murder. They forgot: he was murdered," Scott said. "One of the brothers went to jail for tax evasion. Don't talk to me about making money. When you do, you tend to become the public domain."
Patrizia Gucci, the great-grandson of Guccio Gucci, told the Associated Press in April that the project "steals family identities for profit and increases the income of the Hollywood system."
In an interview broadcast as part of the BBC's popular "Today Show" radio program, the director talked about the tragic death of "Rust" photographer Halina Hutchins.
"I don't know what the real gun or real ammunition did in the damn scene," Scott said. "Someone should be in trouble for this. Absolutely crazy. There will never be any live ammunition near the set."
The director said that he often uses "not a hollow gun, but the barrel is solid, so nothing will happen."
"You will hear clicks and recoil, but nothing will happen," he continued. "You can put a hat in it, but it's not blank."
Scott's next film is Napoleon Bonaparte's biopic "Kitbag", featuring Joaquin Phoenix as the French Emperor and Judy Comer as Josephine Bonaparte. The director confirmed that production will start on January 15.
