How is he so fast ??


Really love his work...I was wondering if anyone has any insights/knowledge as to how he is so fast (a release almost every year) even at this age and considering that his films are big budget,heavy on action etc.I would really like to know if maybe he follows a different process during development/pre and filming and post? If anyone has worked with him please share your thoughts. BTW the same applies to Spielberg as well !!

Hi, Kuna, this is Ridley speaking!

You want to know my secret ?

It's simple:

W-O-R-K

And develop & produce your own material.

The other directors are lazy scumbags.

Cheers

PS:
If you have more questions, please contact my London office
and we can meet for a cup of tea, when I'm back from Australia.
Have a good one, mate.

He always works with the same people. It's the same with Spielberg.

The secret to work so fast is to work ALWAYS with the same Editor, the same Cinematographer and the same Composer. And The Same Costume Designer.

Sir Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg always works with their same teams so they are the fastest Directors in all World.

SIR RIDLEY SCOTT, LUC BESSON, JOHN WOO, KATHRYN BIGELOW, ZACK SNYDER, MICHAEL BAY, etc....
