Ridley Scott reflects on his 'bad' experience while filming Blade Runner and tells the movie's haters to 'go f--- yourself.'
, Scott reflected on the production of Blade Runner, which has been documented as a troubled shoot and led to the release of several different versions of the movie over the past couple of decades.“ was a very bad experience for me,” Scott said. “I had horrendous partners. Financial guys, who were killing me every day. I’d been very successful in the running of a company, and I knew I was making something very, very special. So I would never take no for an answer.
Scott said he’d recently rewatched Blade Runner for the first time in approximately two decades and vehemently disagrees with anyone who finds the movie too slow or “silly.” “I hadn’t seen ‘Blade Runner’ for 20 years,” he commented. “Really. But I just watched it. And it’s not slow. The information coming at you is so original and interesting, talking about biological creations, and mining off-world, which, in those days, they said was silly. I say, ‘Go f— yourself.’”
