A Tribute to Ridley Scott


Ridley Scott made his mark with ground breaking science fiction movies such as Alien and Blade Runner but this talented director's films have run the gamut in subject matter. He's taken us over the edge with Thelma and Louise, through a White Squall and into the mind of psycho killer Hannibal. And even though his Gladiator won Best Picture, Ridley Scott remains Oscar less. When will this visionary director earn his recognition from the Academy? Stay tuned with our Tribute to Ridley Scott.


New on DVD


Body of Lies , the latest Ridley Scott movie is now available on DVD.



Coming Soon


It looks like we will have to wait quite awhile for that Monopoly movie. News that Ridley Scott will direct a prequel to Alien and team up with Leonardo DiCaprio to finally bring Brave New World to the screen mean that Sir Ridley's directing schedule is very full. Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1931 and it has never been made into a theatrical movie. There have been two television versions (1980 and 1998). We have no memory of either of these and they aren't available on DVD.

After several title changes it seems like Robin Hood will be the name of the movie Russell Crowe playing Robin Hood is the next movie Ridley Scott is scheduled to direct. Cate Blanchett is on board as Maid Marion. So the band of merry filmmakers are in the woods of England filming the story of Robin Hood and his Merry men. Vanessa Redgrave and William Hurt have joined the cast.



DH Suggests


Destination Hollywood Suggests this Tribute dedicated to three Ridley Scott movies ...

A Tribute to Blade Runner

There's no replicant hunting allowed in our Tribute to Harrison Ford sci-fi classic Blade Runner.


A Tribute to Alien

Four movies and two decades later, they still terrify us. But with Ripley to guide us we still love the ride. You never know what's lurking around the corner in our Tribute to the Alien series.


A Tribute to Hannibal

It's an odd movie dynamic but sometimes the most interesting character on the screen is the villain. Case in point … Hannibal Lector. See what we mean in our Tribute to Silence of the Lambs.
