Technology will need to make many more huge leaps before one can ever view films with the level of picture and sound quality many film lovers demand without having to slide a disc into a player, especially with the technical requirements of today's 3D movies.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Sometimes I find I'm wearing a divided, split brain in terms of drama and humor.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
The Gulf of Mexico, they believe, is a huge asteroid. That was an impact zone, you know that? Yeah, for that big a thing to actually hit our globe, it would have had to adjusted the spin, the axis.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Technology continues to bring us wondrous advances in filmmaking to improve how we view movies.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I'm really intrigued by those eternal questions of creation and belief and faith. I don't care who you are, it's what we all think about. It's in the back of all our minds.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Scaring someone's the hardest thing to do, and that's why most of these scary movies are not scary. They're sick, but not scary. There's a lot of sickness out there, of people who then sit there and watch it, which I think is absolutely dismaying.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I'm used to very strong women because my mother was particularly strong, and my father was away all the time. My mother was a big part of bringing up three boys, so I was fully versed in the strength of a powerful woman, and accepted that as the status quo.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I'm a reader. I found out that, whether you're a studio head or a director, you must read your own material. You can't rely on readers.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Sacred texts give no specific depiction of God, so for centuries, artists and filmmakers have had to choose their own visual depiction.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
'The Duellists' won Cannes, but Paramount didn't know how to release a film about two guys in bizarre breeches, waving swords around. I actually think it's a pretty good Western.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I think if I'm going to do a science fiction, I'm going to go down a new path that I want to do.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
The 3D world allows you to engage even more with a film because you're somehow drawn into the landscape or the universe of that scene. Even when it's two people talking at a table, you feel like you're a third party.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
One of the problems with science fiction, which is probably one of the reasons why I haven't done one for many, many years, is the fact that everything is used up. Every type of spacesuit is used up, every type of spacecraft is vaguely familiar, the corridors are similar, and the planets are similar.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I come out of TV. I come out of live television, BBC drama: that's where I started first as a designer, then a director. Then I went independent TV, then television advertising.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
The U.K. has to keep investing in new technology, skills, and infrastructure to keep pace with international competition.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
If studios don't get their money back, we don't have any movies. So it is important that films are successful, and I am fully supportive of that because I'm not just a director, I'm also not stupid. I've been in this business long enough and, to a certain extent, I'm a businessman; I know the importance of that.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I want a certificate that allows me to make as big a box office as possible.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
For 'Prometheus,' I came back to a very simple question that haunted me that appears in the first 'Alien,' and no one answered in subsequent Alien films: who was the 'Space Jockey' - the big guy in the seat? If you really go into that, it becomes the basis for a pretty interesting story.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I would make a film with a political point of view if I agreed with it, and even, perhaps, if I didn't.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I try to make films, not movies. I've never liked the expression 'movie', but it sounds elitist to say that.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
MPC, Moving Picture Company, they're really excellent, they did the majority of the effects.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
If somebody's given me X amount of dollars to fulfill a dream, they've got every right to actually say something about it.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Blade Runner appears regularly, two or three times a year in various shapes and forms of science fiction. It set the pace for what is essentially urban science fiction, urban future and it's why I've never re-visited that area because I feel I've done it.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I've got many letters from Muslim organizations thanking me for making 'Kingdom of Heaven.'
Quote by -Ridley Scott
If you go back and look, a completely underrated film is 'Quest for Fire.' That was one of the most genius, simplistic but incredibly sophisticated notion of what it was. The evolution of that was just fantastic.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
A word on 'Kingdom of Heaven:' if you get the four-disc set, which is 3 hr. 8 min., you'll see why it's such a good movie. It was a real passion project, and it's the film I'm most proud of. I think it was treated incredibly unfairly.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Stanley Kubrick's '2001' was the door that opened up the possibility of science fiction for me. Everything else up to then was fine, but didn't quite work for me.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
The time it would take me to write a screenplay it would take me the time to make two films. I would rather make the movies, and I'm a better moviemaker than I would be writer.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I grew up in the North of England at a time when Stirling Moss was a hero. Everyone wanted to be a racing driver.
