Synopsis
Ridley Scott cut his cinematic teeth directing advertisements for TV – his most famous are the ‘Hovis’ adverts - quickly creating a distinctive visual style which he developed in his first full length movie The Duelists in 1977. In was two years later in 1979 that Scott made the big time with the stunning sci-fi realisation Alien which created a whole genre of sci-fi movies. There followed a whole list of successful and characteristically idiosyncratic movies from Blade Runner to Thelma and Louise.
Paul Sammon has known Ridley Scott for many years and has interviewed him extensively especially for this book producing a fascinating behind the scenes account of how Ridley Scott really makes movies.
