'Black Hawk Down' Director Ridley Scott to Conquer Alexander the Great
HOLLYWOOD (Zap2it.com) – After the Oscar®-winning, $187.7 million success of "Gladiator," director Ridley Scott will be returning to the ancient world for a brewing project, but it won't be a rumored prequel to the sword-and-sandals epic.
"I'm developing 'Alexander the Great' right now," Scott reveals to Zap2it.com while promoting his latest picture "Black Hawk Down."
The legendary general who conquered most of the known world by the age of 24 has taken Hollywood in recent years. Two other biopics are in the works simultaneously with Scott's, a modestly budgeted one from "Like Water for Chocolate" director Alfonso Arau and an expensive one from director Martin Scorsese and star Leonardo DiCaprio.
"I don't think they even have a script," Scott says in regards to Scorsese's version. "I've got a script coming in. Ted Tally's writing it."
Tally ("The Silence of the Lambs"😉 is adapting the screenplay from a 1998 trilogy of novels by Italian author Valerio Manfredi that were recently published stateside in English. The picture will reunite Scott with octogenarian producer Dino De Laurentiis, with whom he worked on last year's "Hannibal."
As for that "Gladiator" prequel, Scott finds the idea a bit ridiculous and says that it's not in the works as far as he knows.
Scott, however, hasn't yet decided on his follow-up to "Black Hawk Down," the docudrama about the 1993 battle of Mogadishu that has been garnering considerable critical and awards buzz. "There's like four or five subjects spinning, which means they're being written," Scott explains. "Whichever one comes up better, tighter, complete, I'll tend to go with that. But these are four or five projects which are all important to me, so sooner or later at some point they'll get made."
"Black Hawk Down" marks the third picture the 64-year-old director has helmed in less than two years after "Gladiator" and "Hannibal." Prolific by any standard, but particularly so for the man behind such modern classics as "Alien," "Blade Runner" and "Thelma & Louise."
"I was looking back three years ago, thinking 'My God, I've been in the business 19 years and I've only made 10 movies.' By normal averages, that's about right, but I think it's too slow. I decided to put the pressure on. So I started making really quick decisions. I committed to 'Gladiator' based on a conversation and very nice illustration. Once you commit, it's amazing how the adrenaline forces everything through the eye of a needle."
