Scott’s fiercely innovative direction of groundbreaking films including science fiction classics Blade Runner and Alien and the sweeping chronicle Gladiator, has given rise to a new era of storytelling and had a profound impact on future generations of filmmakers. "Ridley Scott is a defining voice of the feature, broadcast and commercial forms, and a true master of his craft,” said Mike Chambers, VES Board Chair. “His vision and contribution to the art is incomparable and his impact upon the visual effects and technical fields is unparalleled. Ridley's iconic films have entertained and inspired millions, and his oeuvre of groundbreaking work has been immensely influential. For this, and more, we are honored to award him with the prestigious Visual Effects Society Lifetime Achievement Award.” “The best filmmaking has always been the result of collaboration between artists, craftspeople and technicians, both in front and behind the camera,” said Ridley Scott. “Over the years I have been very fortunate to work on films that are visual at their core and thus I have always been immensely reliant on the expertise of our visual effects teams. To be honored by the Visual Effects Society with this Lifetime Achievement Award is indeed extremely gratifying.” Scott has received Academy Award® nominations for Best Director for his work on Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, and Thelma & Louise. All three films also earned him DGA Award nominations. In 2003 Scott was awarded a knighthood from the Order of the British Empire, in recognition of his contributions to the arts.

  • Note – Spoilers Ahead!!!!
    Talking points for after the movie NOTE – SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! • The key chain in the gift bags is a special device that allows you to separate your car key from your house keys, so you can give it to the valet with peace of mind! • There are 5 different tips in the Bad Samaritan Safety Tip Series pencils included in the gift bags. The TIP # corresponds to the page in the script where the tip was gleaned. • The character who is the head of the FBI is played by the screenwriter Brandon Boyce, who also wrote Apt Pupil. • Kerry Condon, the victim in Bad Samaritan, is also in the biggest movie in America this weekend. She's the voice of Friday in Iron Man's suit. • According to Director Dean Devlin (Stargate, Independence Day, "Leverage", "The Librarians") the line "THAT'S HOW YOU &!@$&^# SAVE SOMEBODY" is the whole reason he made the movie. He loved the fact that it was the "helpless" woman victim that saved the hero, rather than the other way around. • In the original script, the handle doesn't break on the axe, and Robert Sheehan ends up killing Cale. After working with David Tennant, Dean wanted to keep his character alive. Which ending do you prefer? • Robert Sheehan (the protagonist in the movie), is a proud member of Legion M. He's even submitted his photo for the photomosaic. Have you?? (FYI-if you haven't, just go to www.legionm.com, click on "member benefits" and then "log into member portal".
