What Ridley Scott has done for a first time

His first feature film, The Duellists (1977) is based on a Joseph Conrad story. In his next film, Alien (1979), the spaceship was known as the Nostromo and its escape ship as the Narcissus. Both are names taken from Conrad stories.
Was 39 years old when he directed The Duellists (1977), his first feature length film.
He was the first choice to direct Point Break (1991), but he chose Thelma & Louise (1991) instead.
He was Joel Silver's first choice to direct Lethal Weapon (1987). Due to Scott's still recent tensions with Warner Brothers during the making of Blade Runner (1982) the studio refused to offer him the job.
His first directing job was a commercial for instant porridge.

Ridley Scott's quotes

[on why his movies don't have sex scenes] Sex is boring unless you're doing it.
I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.
A friend of mine says, "Art's like a shark. You've got to keep swimming, or else you drown." Keep bouncing around. People always ask me, "What's the plan?" There is no plan. I go to what fascinates me next.
When I first said I wanted to make a film about Rome and cast Russell Crowe, everyone had a good old snigger. I thought, "You wait." They've done the same with Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and Orlando Bloom. I now say, "Take a look at this.".
The fundamental of anything as a director is material, material, material--script, script, script--once you have the script everything else is straightforward.
I think it's remarkable that people will give you $10 million to go and get your rocks off.
Never let yourself be seen in public unless they pay for it.
I think movies are getting dumber, actually. Where it used to be 50/50, now it's 3% good, 97% stupid.
I used to agonize over what to do next, but now I make a movie a year.
[on his recreation of the trench sequence in Paths of Glory (1957) as a student] Yes, I made this . . . this was in the '60s with the BBC. Of course it was never aired, [Stanley Kubrick] would sue me, but I've always had tremendous respect for him.
Avatar (2009), when you think about it, is almost a completely animated movie.
[on Blade Runner (1982)] I'm curious about doing a sequel. There's something in the android that lived.
[on Blade Runner (1982)'s Final Cut] Like watching the film as it should have been 25 years ago in the theatres but with a better sound mix.
[on Blade Runner (1982)] I've never spent so much time with a writer. That was the real evolution of the story.
People say a good score is when you don't notice it. I say bullshit. I'm very conscious of a good score and I'm very conscious of a bad score. And anyone who says that simply doesn't know music.
[in 2015] I was very, very happy with The Counsellor (2013). I think it was very cynical and too nihilistic for some people, but I like nihilistic.
[in 2015, on Alien (1979) and the Xenomorph] We're getting closer and closer to the creation of the beasts--how and why they were created--and the first "Alien" film that I made over 30 years ago
[in 2015] The Martian (2015) was made for the most part, 94%, in a Budapest [Hungary] studio. With green screen, I now can't tell what was studio and what was shot in Wadi Rum [desert in Jordan].
[in 2016, on directing] You prove how reliable you are. Which I am, I always have been--it's part of my thing.
[in 2017] It drives me crazy that an actor can do four movies in a year and I can't.
I'm a big painter. I resumed painting 10 years ago. My whole grounding is in art school. I paint all the time. [2020]
[onn House of Gucci (2021)] I didn't want to make it into a thriller drama because it's not. I saw it more as a satire.
