Scott said a movie executive pushed him to make films "about normal people" after his first movies, including "Alien" and "Blade Runner."

Ridley Scott is known to fascinate audiences with his unique storylines and spelling magic from behind the camera. Every Scott-directed movie has been fictional, or partly based on real-life characters.

Ridley Scott revealed on the Director’s Guild of America’s “Director’s Cut” podcast (via Entertainment Weekly) that he was criticized by a studio executive early in his career for not making movies about “normal people.

"There's only one film worked out of all of that lot," Scott said of his early feature output during a recent interview with Alien: Romulus writer-director Fede Alvarez on the Director's Guild of America's The Director's Cut podcast.
