Ridley Scott

Ridley Scott is an English film producer and director, regarded as one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Ridley is known for his science-fiction horror films, such as the cult classic ‘Alien’ and the science-fiction existential drama ‘Blade Runner.’ Belonging to an army family, Scott was in love with films since childhood. He began his career with short films and eventually made his first feature film, ‘The Duellists,’ in 1977. The film won the ‘Best Debut Film’ honor at the ‘Cannes Film Festival.’ However, it was his second feature film ‘Alien’ that introduced him to Hollywood in a grand style. His highly moody and atmospheric style of directing was fairly new to mainstream Hollywood audiences. Scott quickly sealed his place as one of the most prominent young directors. Scott repeated his mainstream success with ‘Blade Runner.’ Over the years, with the success of films such as ‘Kingdom of Heaven,’ ‘Robin Hood,’ and ‘Black Hawk Down,’ he became a name to reckon with. Of late, he has garnered appreciation for films such as ‘Gladiator,’ ‘The Martian,’ ‘Prometheus,’ and ‘Alien: Covenant.’ He has earned multiple nominations for prestigious awards such as the ‘Emmy Award,’ the ‘Academy Award,’ and the ‘Golden Globe Award.’ He has won two ‘Emmies’ too
