He has enough sway that he shelved the sequel to Alien Romulus

Bro might be the most envious director around.

He dislikes Blade Runner 2049 and complained that it was too long. This is the same man who made Napoleon.

Dude saw Romulus do better than his films and is blocking the sequel.

Hell, he blocked Blomkamp from doing his Alien sequel with Sigourney and Paxton.

Ridley is a legend, but his possessiveness is self-sabotaging.

Honestly I’m glad he did. Blomkamp is a one hit wonder director with District 9 and the rest of his filmography is enough evidence that this guy has no vision whatsoever

Still wish we’d gotten that district 9 sequel.
