Ridley Scott
Ridley Scott is a British director, screenwriter, and producer. After a notable career in advertising, in which he directed the short film 1984 announcing Apple's first Macintosh, he turned to feature films in his forties. He gained prominence in the late 1970s and early 1980s with the blockbusters Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982). He continued to make a strong impression with Thelma & Louise (1991) before returning to the forefront by revitalizing the sword-and-sandal genre with Gladiator (2000), winning the Academy Award for Best Picture in the process. He followed this with other major productions: Hannibal (2001), Black Hawk Down (2001), and Kingdom of Heaven (2005), while alternating with more modest films. He concluded this decade by leading three projects starring actor Russell Crowe: American Gangster (2007), Body of Lies (2008), and Robin Hood (2010). In the 2010s, he successfully returned to science fiction with titles such as Prometheus (2012), The Martian (2015), and Alien: Covenant (2017). He is currently working on a sequel to Gladiator, which is expected to be released at the end of the year.
