Ridley Scott, the mastermind behind ALIEN, BLADERUNNER and this years AMERICAN GANGSTER is set to put his vision to a supernatural thriller, that I can only describe as being awesome!
According to Variety, Ridley Scott has signed on to direct STONES for Fox 2000, based on a script written by Matt Cirulnick (ELYSIUM). The film is supernatural thriller revolving around the mysterious destruction of ancient religious sites around the world. It turns out that Stonehenge is the tie that binds together artifacts that still have primeval powers.
But don’t look for this film any time soon, because Scott is busy directing other projects while the Writers Guild strike happening. Scott is busy directing Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe in “Body Of Lies” for Warner Bros., and he is expected to follow by moving with Crowe right into “Nottingham,” the Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris-scripted drama for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment.
