Ridley Scott Wishes He Chose To Make ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Instead Of ‘Alien: Covenant’

Denis Villeneuve has revealed that he is considering turning his Dune film series into a trilogy.Speaking to Empire, Villeneuve spoke of his hopes to make a third film in the sci-fi epic series: “If I succeed in making a trilogy, that would be a dream”. Currently, Villeneuve’s Dune and the yet-to-be-released Dune: Part Two films tell the story of author Frank Herbert’s original 1965 novel.While Villeneuve has yet to confirm if a third film has been green-lit, he hinted to Empire that he’s already working on a script: “I will say, there are words on paper.”A potential third Dune film from Villeneuve will see his retelling of Herbert’s ‘Dune Messiah’ novel, which was the direct sequel to the first Dune book.

With “Dune: Part Two” set to debut next year, director Denis Villeneuve is already putting plans in motion for the third film in the series.

It’s been a quite a year for movies so far, and filmgoers are hoping that the fall and holiday season theatrical releases can live up to the one-two punch of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” in July.

Though it wasn’t a massive hit at the box office, Denis Villeneuve’s “Blade Runner 2049” is often regarded as one of the best sci-fi films of the past decade. That’s saying a lot, especially when you consider Ridley Scott wasn’t behind the camera.

Michaela Zee Ridley Scott is reflecting on his decision to step down from directing the “Blade Runner” sequel due to a scheduling conflict with 2017’s “Alien: Covenant.” “I shouldn’t have had to make that decision,” Scott said in a recent Empire interview. “But I had to. I should have done ‘Blade Runner 2.’” After being attached to the project, Scott announced in 2014 that he would no longer direct the “Blade Runner” sequel, instead choosing to helm the sci-fi horror film “Alien: Covenant,” starring Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup and Danny McBride.

Ridley Scott is looking back and opening up about not being able to direct the Blade Runner sequel. The filmmaker had been announced by Alcon Entertainment back in 2011 to helm the follow-up to the 1989 film that starred Harrison Ford.
