Ridley Scott has just made his “best film” and he is still preparing Gladiator 3

The tireless director of 87 years has many other projects in the stoves!

“”I have three written films, ready to shoot.“”

Do not count on Sir Ridley Scott to raise your foot. Despite his 87 spring (he will be 88 years old next November), the British director continues to work at a frantic pace. His secret? Use multiple cameras to save time, a technique that he used in particular on Napoleon And Gladiator 2closing their filming in 50 days against 100 for blockbusters of this scale.

“”The one I come to finish, The Dog Stars, took 34 days. It’s going at the speed of a TV series, but it may be my best movie“says Scott in an interview with Dazed.

With The Dog Starsthe filmmaker returns to science fiction. Adapted from a post-apocalyptic novel, the film will immerse us in the near future where humanity has been decimated by a virus. Despite his recent failures, Ridley has still managed to attract big names. A process in which he boasts of excelling.

“”Each film is a discovery of who we are, and is based on the choices you make for the actors. Before talking to anyone, I look at everything they have done. I Casté Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce and Josh Brolin. Generally, the thing where I am the strongest is the casting. If they are available, I normally have them. “

The very industrial vision of cinema that Ridley Scott is a bit frightening (“The public wants to be entertained and eat popcorn“) But it is clear that it always appeals to stars and studios. The Dog Stars would have benefited from a budget of $ 100 million, and it will be released next March at 20th Century Studios. And Scott does not intend to stop there.

He ensures Dazed that he hopes to chain on his biopic on the Bee Gees, that he had paused for The Dog Stars. “”Then I have a super western entitled Freewalkers. And then I have a films on the First World War based on John Harris’ book, Covenant with Death. “

And the failure of Gladiator 2 did not start his ambition to make a new suite: “We are at the meeting stadium, without any doubt we will do Gladiator 3. ”

To be complete, remember that Scott has also mentioned other projects in recent months, such as the war film Battle of Britainthe hostage -taking film Bomba financial thriller entitled Big Dogs or a spy film, Queen & Country.
