Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard in Blade Runner next to a Xenomorph from Alien
Summary Ridley Scott has opened up about losing control of both the Alien and Blade Runner franchises, explaining his regrets about not being able to direct the sequels to both movies. The director's classic sci-fi films helped spawn two franchises, both of which have seen relative success as they have expanded over time.
I was slow out the starting gate. I mean, I should have done the sequels to Alien and to Blade Runner. You change over the years. At that time, I didn’t want to go through it again. So Jim Cameron came in—and then David Fincher—on Alien. I was regretful , although did a good job. Alien & Blade Runner Would Be Different If Ridley Scott Had Been Given Control Of Their Sequels During the interview, Scott also explained how he wanted to ensure the forthcoming Gladiator II was still made by him, despite often not coming back to make sequels for his movies. This isn't the only time he's made a follow-up to one of his more popular films, though, with Prometheus and Alien: Covenant serving as prequels to the franchise he started in 1979.
