Ridley Scott: A Master of Visual Worlds. From Alien to The Martian
69.99 €
Ridley Scott is a man of great contradictions. He studied under Francis Bacon and paints in oils to relax. He prefers the company of NASA scientists or medieval historians to the cream of Hollywood society. He creates gripping and spectacular blockbusters in which he discusses the existence of God and the future direction of human development.
Scott always fights for his vision of the world on screen. His films—Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Hannibal, The Martian, and many others—establish the boundaries of the fantastic and the real: crossing new continents and planets, overcoming the boundaries between the legal and the criminal, the living and the artificial, the religious and the scientific, the internal and the external. The director believes that a little daring, even a little startle, will capture the audience's attention. And throughout his long career, he's almost never made a mistake. This book is a unique chronicle of the director's creative life, telling his journey from his first commercial shoots to The Martian. In addition to the film's production history, it contains extensive archival footage, commentary from the director, and amusing stories from the actors and crew.
