Ridley Scott Hints at Revisiting 1492: Conquest of Paradise
Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott recently expressed a desire to revisit one of his personal favorite projects, "1492: Conquest of Paradise".
Speaking in a retrospective interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Scott reflected on his illustrious career and discussed his hopes to resurrect the 1992 historical epic as a four-hour version for streaming platforms.
Released on the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' expedition, "1492" was praised for its stunning cinematography and an iconic score by Vangelis.
Despite its rocky reception, the film has remained close to Scott's heart, and he continues to view it as one of his finest works.
In the interview, Scott noted:
I'm trying to resurrect "1492" because it's so beautifully shot and acted and scored. I'm trying to resurrect it as a four-hour [movie] for a streaming platform
Scott also reflected on his collaboration with Vangelis, not only for "1492" but also for "Blade Runner".
When asked about the single shot he is most proud of, Scott said:
The opening shot of Los Angeles in "Blade Runner", which I think is terrific - go fuck yourself, Pauline. Usually it's linked with a sound and that sound is linked with the guy I just adored — Vangelis. I also worked with Vangelis again on a film I'm very proud of, "1492"...
