The movie Ridley Scott refused to direct: “I don’t want to”
Scott has made crime films ( American Gangster, The Counsellor ), a fantasy ( Legend ), a war movie ( Black Hawk Down ), a horror film ( Hannibal ), a spy thriller ( Body of Lies ), and a feminist masterpiece ( Thelma & Louise ). There was one film he outright refused to direct, however, and the reason was very close to his heart.
