Responsible for some of the greatest movies of all time – from Blade Runner and Thelma \u0026amp; Louise to Alien and Gladiator (the latter two of which we pay tribute to with \u003cstrong\u003ethis issue’s special dual covers by Gary Taxoli\u003c\/strong\u003e), Scott is also a wine lover who owns vineyards in Provence, and has a maverick perspective on everything from cooking the perfect scrambled eggs to how AI is changing the world. On the run up to the release of Gladiator II, with many new projects backed up, Noble Rot discovers what drives the 86 year old’s relentless work ethic in ‘Director’s Cup’.
