Ridley Scott Credits Streaming With Keeping ‘Gladiator’ Alive In Christopher Nolan Conversation


In a conversation with fellow Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan, 'Gladiator II' director Ridley Scott credits streaming with keeping ‘Gladiator’ alive.

Christopher Nolan interviewed Ridley Scott after a screening of Gladiator II at the DGA Theater in West Hollywood on Tuesday night. He said he saw Paul Mescal, who plays the long-lost son of Queen Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), in the Hulu series Normal People. For Alien, he relied on his focus puller, the late Adrian Biddle, whom he promoted to cinematographer of Thelma & Louise and 1492, to hit the walls of the Nostromo before Scott did.
