The 2001 movie scene Ridley Scott was instructed not to shoot: “So we did”Unlike most directors his age, Ridley Scott rarely dwells on the past. As he told GQ last year, “If you’re a filmmaker, you get plenty of advice. Other times, it’s his ambition and audacity that sees things through, which was the case with his 2001 horror classic Hannibal. Just like Demme, Scott’s lawyer also worried that the film was too violent – but that acknowledgement only spurred Scott on more. You can’t do a film where somebody cuts the top of his head off and feeds his own fucking brain,’” Scott told Bafta.
