Ridley Scott reflects on his decision to step down from directing the 'Blade Runner' sequel in favor of directing 'Alien: Covenant' due to a scheduling conflict. He expresses regret for not choosing to direct the 'Blade Runner' sequel.
After being attached to the project, Scott announced in 2014 that he would no longer direct the “Blade Runner” sequel, instead choosing to helm the sci-fi horror film “Alien: Covenant,” starring Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup and Danny McBride. Denis Villeneuve served as director on “” — a follow-up to the 1982 original directed by Scott — which included Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas and Jared Leto.
Although Scott didn’t direct the sequel to the original “Blade Runner,” the filmmaker worked as an executive producer on the film. He is also returning to the future dystopia in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming limited series “Blade Runner 2099,” which he first revealed was in development in 2021. “I’m one of the producers,” Scott told Esquire. “It’s all set years on. To me, it circles the idea of Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World.’”
The series was officially ordered by Amazon last September and comes from Alcon Entertainment and Scott Free Productions. “The original ‘Blade Runner,’ directed by Ridley Scott, is considered one of the greatest and most influential science-fiction movies of all time, and we’re excited to introduce ‘Blade Runner 2099’ to our global Prime Video customers,”, head of global television for Amazon Studios.
