London: Director Ridley Scott has said that
Disney will never allow him to helm a "Star Wars" movie as he
feels he is "too dangerous" for it.
The "Alien: Covenant" director was asked in an interview
whether Scott would ever make a "Star Wars" movie.
"No, no. I'm too dangerous for that," Scott told Vulture.
"Because I know what I'm doing. I think they like to be
in control, and I like to be in control myself," he added.
He also said his years of experience would not fit
Disney's trend of enlisting new and rising directors.
"When you get a guy who's done a low-budget movie and you
suddenly give him USD 180 million, it makes no sense
whatsoever. It's f**cking stupid," he said.
"You know what the reshoots cost? Millions! Millions. You
can get me for my fee, which is heavy, but I'll be under
budget and on time. This is where experience does matter, it's
as simple as that," he added.
