“The time it would take me to write a screenplay it would take me the time to make two films. I would rather make the movies, and I'm a better moviemaker than I would be writer.”

British filmmaker, born 1937. Known for his visually striking, atmospheric works that blend industrial grit with human drama, including *Blade Runner* and *Alien*. His directorial style often explores themes of isolation, technology, and moral ambiguity.
