No Customer Reviews
Ridley Scott, director of Black Hawk Down, Gladiator and Hannibal, is one of cinema's most accomplished visual stylists. His cult movies Alien, Blade Runner and Legend brought the British director to prominence and gave him a dedicated fan following. Not content to rest there, Scott branched out to tackle a series of thrillers (Someone To Watch Over Me, Black Rain) before hitting Oscar gold with the controversial feminist road movie Thelma & Louise. Scott's first attempt at a historical epic (1492: Conquest Of Paradise) and true stories (White Squall, G. I. Jane) paved the way for the release of Gladiator (winner of 5 Oscars) and Black Hawk Down, his two most successful films yet. Included are an introductory essay and a detailed examination of each of Ridley Scott's movies. Echoing his world building on screen, there's also an account of Scott's real-life world building by purchasing Shepperton Studios, as well as running his own commercials production house and owning his own award-winning special effects facility, Mill Film.
