Gladiator director Ridley Scott reflects on his relationship with filmmakers James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. Scott started his career directing commercials, before entering the film industry at the age of 40. His directorial debut was The Duellists, before achieving global recognition for his next two efforts with 1979's sci-fi horror movie Alien, and 1982's sci-fi neo-noir masterpiece Blade Runner, starring Harrison Ford. Now, at the age of 86, Scott has directed 29 theatrically released movies, with Gladiator II being the most recent. He is considered among the greatest living film directors, and his work continues to influence and inspire.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Scott reflected on his career and his desire to continue making movies despite his age. He, at one point, commented on his relationship with the two filmmaking icons Cameron and Spielberg. Despite all three reaching the peak of their industries, Scott admitted he isn't really close with either director.
