August 29, 20251 yr I have enjoyed many of director Ridley Scott's movies. Now 87 he is still directing movies and is even in the planning stage for a Gladiator 3. Years earlier he became known for turning down a $20 million fee to direct Terminator 3. How many more years will be in front of him, not even he knows. But in a Q&A session in today's Guardian the first question is "Who's up there?" We may all have different views on who/what's up there, if anything, but we surely cannot disagree with his comments about the disaster we have made of our world. I am glad I have no children and am concerned about what kind of world my nephew's two teenage boys will inherit. "Who’s up there. He’d better show himself shortly, because we’re getting into a terrible mess down here. I mean, we are the fucking plague, 7.5 billion people, we can’t handle the planet. As you get older, you do wonder: is it going to be a guy with a long beard and long, flowing white robes, or is it just going to be a void? I don’t dwell on it." https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/aug/28/i-turned-down-20m-to-do-terminator-3-i-cant-be-bought-dude-ridley-scott-on-directing-daleks-and-cherry-jam
