Director Sir Ridley Scott “develops everything.”

The iconic British filmmaker is responsible for creating cinematic classics such as Blade Runner and Alien.

Before Ridley began directing films he worked as a set designer and an art director.

With so many skills under his belt, Ridley feels that he should have his hands in all aspects of production when he is helming a motion picture.

“I develop everything. I do. I learned that a long time ago,” he told SlashFilm.com “It’s never going to land on your desk, you have to come up with what you want to do with the story and I think sometimes it can take two or three years.”

Ridley desperately desires to direct a specific type of genre film next.

“I want to do a western really badly and I think I’ve got a western this morning, finally after two and a half years of talking and writing and talking and… I think I have it, which is kind of interesting,” he revealed.
