Ridley Scott is 83 this year. How many more movies are left in him, let along good one's?

That's a fair old age to be directing big budget movies. Is there anyone older currently active?

I really don't think he has juice left in the tank for these films. We shouldn't have to settle for him when there's many people to choose from He's had an amazing career but folk need to let him go because he's not the best man for the job IMO.

It's amazing what Clint Eastwood (90) has been doing, the latest being 2019's Richard Jewell - a really good movie. But then again, it's not big budget.

A sexually repressed A.I. making penis rape monsters from shoggoths is the most awesome, Giger af direction for the franchise to go. Period.

It's actually hard to argue with that.  If only the Giger aesthetic were employed as well, one could justify David being the creator... almost

To be fair, the lack of "mechanical" components on Covenant's Alien is an intentional plot point; David's creation isn't finalized yet.

Yeah, check my earlier post Perfect-Organism.

I totally missed that memo!  Wow.  If it is a legitimate plot point, I'm ok with it.  I seriously thought Fox didn't want to pay additional royalties to Giger's estate.

But it will mean that David creates the Aliens in totality.  Hmm.  Unless that's why the engineer tried to kill David, because robots created Aliens in the past and engineers already fought them.  Maybe that's what David meant when he said he learned of their ways.  A stretch.  I know.

There is no one like Ridley Scott. And he was 77 years old when he Directed THE MARTIAN. And he was 80 years old when he Directed ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD. So, he is the first in human history Directing huge movies at his old age.

Apart from Clint Eastwood.

Yes. But he does smaller movies like Woody Allen.

Like The Counsellor or All The Money In The World you mean?

Yes. But THE LAST DUEL is 100 million dollars like THE MARTIAN.

i'd say there's a difference between a big budget and a big scope
