Sir Ridley Scott, who has directed Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator and many more influential movies, told The Times of London how his legacy has inspired others:
"Every time, you are vulnerable. Also, I never want to repeat myself and all my films have been on the money. I've been ahead of the game frequently and, if you're ahead of the game, you're an influencer. So I'm not a filmmaker, I'm an influencer."
Like many, I watched the original Alien on home video far too young and the titular xenomorph has stalked my nightmares and woven itself into the fabric of fragmented memories of a childhood trauma featuring creepy hospital corridors, flickering neon lights and faceless adults.
Do you agree that Ridley Scott is an influencer, not a filmmaker? Let me know in the comments below.
