Ridley Scott: many cameras, many projects and many bad grapes

• The Gucci house Rather a fiasco

He has directed more than 2,500 television commercials, 27 feature films and is the producer of nearly 100 titles between series, documentaries and films.

And that's despite the fact that he didn't direct

, until he was 40.

Now, at 84 years old, Ridley Scott can't (or doesn't want to) stop.

He says it himself,

: «You can't stop, man.

You can never stop.

Once you stop,

newspaper .

The English filmmaker, capable of the best and the worst, the cinematographic father of deadly creatures from outer space, androids with metaphysical concerns and

, is an unstoppable force in the audiovisual industry.

With the pandemic, most directors delayed their projects, filming and premieres, but Ridley Scott is not one of those who get scared:

such as

, an epic about the misogyny and justice in medieval France, and

, a twisted melodrama about the famous Italian fashion family.

One of the keys to such productivity is how well oiled is the machinery of his company, Ridley Scott Creative Group, with
