Was Ridley Scott pissed that he didn't direct Aliens?

[i]Hell yeah[/i], according to this article. (Please excuse me if this has already been posted) [i]"[size=5]I was really pissed off, frankly[/size],"[/i] Of course, following the mega-success of 1979's seminal Alien, the franchise grew with three follow-up films and two Alien vs. Predator prequels. It turns out that rather than passing on the opportunity to direct Aliens, Scott was passed up – and not pleased. "I was really pissed off, frankly," he says about not getting a shot at the action-packed 1986 film that helped to propel James Cameron's career.

Ha! Judging from his movie Legend I think they made the right choice with Cameron.

Hopefully Scott will direct P2. The fact the franchise has had so many directors is what has helped kill it in the first place. He is bringing it back to life!

Aliens is widely and universally considered one of the best sequels in movie history. Its characters had more depth and intelligence and the acting was better. overall, i like both movies, but theres no guarantee Ridley wouldve made a better sequel than Cameron, because you cant get much better than that.
