Scott was throwing shade he didn't want anyone else showing him up with an Alien film

I want to see these two on a trashy daytime talk show, complete with chair throwing and comical fist fight.

There is no behind the scenes drama, folks.  Ridley Scott and Neill Blomkamp are professionals.  It's not RS being a tyrant and using his power to cancel another film.  It's a business, that's just how things work out.

Perhaps if Neill Blomkamp got his timing a little better then this whole thing would not have happened.  He should have at least consulted with Scott before pitching to the studio.  Not assigning any blame, but this whole mess could have been avoided.

Everything I've heard about the situation - including from insiders at Fox - says you're wrong.

I think Huda is right.  It seems obvious now.

Especially when Ridley said "I don't give a shit" in regards to the Blomkamp film during press tour

Why? Scott doesn't own the Alien franchise.

And after the studio greenlit his pitch he did consult with Scott to avoid any conflicts with Prometheus 2's story.

He said that he didn't give a shit about the rumours that certain fans have been making-up.

You're right. He must be very happy about his cancelled film.

He's long since moved on. Unlike certain people on here.

Yeah, what kind of a loser goes out and creates things...

He knows studio execs monitor his social media accounts; his instagram posts initially landed him the job offer from FOX. He's obviously still interested in making the movie if he's still tweeting images and ideas (garnering interest) from his script. He has not moved on—which is fine, because I'd be interested in his film after Scott is done with the Covenant sequel.

And I'm willing to bet he's bitter towards Scott, but he wisely chooses not to go public with it.

This is the first time he's mentioned Alien publicly since an interview he did back in June or July (not sure which month). If he's talked about anything film related that he's working since then that isn't related to Oats, it's either The Gone World adaptation that he's working on or a District 9 followup. He's even said numerous times in interviews that he's accepted Alien's fate.
