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.
From Ridley Scott
'Alien' is a C film elevated to an A film, honestly, by it being well done and a great monster. If it hadn't had that great monster, even with a wonderful cast, it wouldn't have been as good, I don't think.
I watched Someone to Watch Over Me the other night. I thought it was a really good movie. It's a great movie.
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.
MPC, Moving Picture Company, they're really excellent, they did the majority of the effects.
I do a pretty good job at casting actually.
And anyway, it's only movies. to stop me I think they'll ahve to shoot me in the head.
Digital is a different world because you are sitting at home and a hi tech piece of equipment today is within reach of most people, so they are watching a pretty hi tech version of whatever you've done.
But Gladiator is one of my favourite adventures because I really loved going into the world. I loved creating the world to the degree where you could almost smell it.
I knew exactly what to do on Alien, it was funny.
