Why have you not done more science fiction films?
RIDLEY SCOTT: I am going to do one. I waited for a book for 20 years and I have got the book. I am not going to tell you what the book is but that film is going to probably be written within the next month. That will definitely be what I do next after Nottingham, the Robin Hood film that I am doing now in England.
QUESTION: Are you working with Russell Crowe again on the Robin Hood film?
RIDLEY SCOTT: I am, I just finished with him and Leonardo di Caprio on Body Of Lies, which is now going to be called A House Of Lies. It is pretty good, I am very happy with it. In Nottingham Russell is the Robin Hood figure.
QUESTION: Your work with Russell Crowe has been brilliant.
RIDLEY SCOTT: Well it makes life a lot easier if you know each other. You can cut the crap.
QUESTION: Russell Crowe has said you are very gifted and you obviously feel the same about him?
RIDLEY SCOTT: I know that he is gifted. There are a lot of good actors out there but very few gifted ones.
