James Cameron Inspires Ridley Scott

The following is from an old article I found on the net today. This is basically what Cameron had to say about Prometheus. It seems him and Scott go way back and are actually on very good terms......anyway I am so sick of the Cameron versus Scott and Alien versus Aliens nonsense....I figured that maybe if it apparent that they share a great deal of admiration for each others work, then the rest of u will maybe stop pitting them against each other. Ridley Scott is talking about doing an Alien prequel That’s a strange move for him. I mean, Ridley and I talked over lunch maybe 10 years ago and I said, “Look, I’ll write it and produce it, you direct it, it’ll ****ing kick ass!” And he was like, “Yeah, let’s do it!” And nothing happened. And then they did Alien vs. Predator, and that kind of pissed in the soup. I think Ridley really should do science fiction. He made the two most iconic science-fiction films of the 20th century. When he came to visit me [on the set of Avatar] I said to him, “Quit ****ing around with these wine movies in the south of France, make another science fiction film.” And he saw the technique we were using and got all fired up about it. He turned to his producer and said, “Why am I doing this Robin Hood? I should be doing science fiction!” The full article can be read here: http://filmonic.com/james-cameron-talks-terminator-salvation-alien-prequel
