How much is Ridley Scott being paid to direct Prometheus?

I'll say... more than i'll ever be able to earn and to count.

Unless it's reported, that kind of stuff is secret. It's considered rude to some people to ask them how much they get paid.

Probably couple million+ some percentage from the profits

I'd estimate approx. £4million.

10 trillion Greek Drachma's......About £5.

Poor Greece. :•( (They'll probably be saying the same thing about the US in 10 year. Maybe 7.)

What david1 said. :D

^^^^^ what Sky said :D

Considering the huge budget of this film, I would say a good chunk would go into the pockets of RS. Besides the ususal film cost and Charlize, it's a huge budget for this film

seriously -I reckon Ridley will be pocketing £10 mill from this bad boy!

He mentioned it in one of the interviews...$10million is his going rate, plus whatever other deals he works out ad hoc. I think this film has alot of other revenue streams...and he IS an ad man remember, which explains alot of the much vilified adverts associated with Prometheus.

How far will you go to get your answer to this question??

Couldn't care less how much he pockets as long as its an intelligent, thought provoking film that delivers. I must agree with certain people that say the trailers have revealed a little bit too much...but I have only myself to blame for actually looking! I am positive that there is a world of stuff that Scott is keeping to himself... I don't recall Cameron showing anything of the Queen in the original Aliens trailer...I may be wrong, but I wasn't expecting to see that when I saw it in the cinema in 1987. The things I don't want to see are sloppy CGI transformations!

@Xenotron: :You know that people don't give a sheet about manners anymore...

8 to 10 Mil plus a massive back end on the home market..something he pretty much pioneered
