Ridley Scott 'wasn't happy' when Alien and Blade Runner sequels were given away

Ridley Scott had 'tough partners' early in his career that took franchises like Alien and Blade Runner out of his control

Ridley Scott has made some of the most iconic movies in modern cinema, some of which spun off into major Hollywood franchises. Scott says in a recent Vanity Fair interview that he “should have done the sequels to Alien and to Blade Runner ,” but the task went to other filmmakers instead. There are multiple reasons for that—those films came early in his career, and “At that time, I didn’t want to go through it again,” Scott explains.

” In other words, because Scott didn’t have ownership of the properties that he launched early in his career, the studios or producers he worked with on those films could do whatever they wanted with them. That means: give the movies away to someone else or put them on the shelf. He was supposed to direct the Blade Runner sequel more than 30 years after his original film, but had to pass up the opportunity in order to work on an Alien installment, Prometheus.
