Ridley Scott has shared an amusing anecdote about Stanley Kubrick – and it turns out Kubrick had a pretty relatable question about Scott's sci-fi masterpiece Alien.
Kubrick, of course, is the legendary director behind the likes of The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
"Stanley called me the week Alien opened," Scott reflected to The Times. "He said: 'It's Stanley Kubrick.' I said: 'Fuck off!' He said: 'No, it's Stanley Kubrick.' He said: 'I just watched Alien – how did you bring that creature out the guy's chest?'"
It's certainly a worthy question. Watching the tiny Xenomorph burst from John Hurt's chest for the first time is an experience that stays with you, that's for sure, and it also looks so shockingly real it's easy to believe an alien really did come bursting out of that poor guy.
If you're just as desperate as Kubrick was to know the behind-the-scenes secret, it was accomplished with some genuine guts from a butcher, fake blood, and a false chest for Hurt.
Scott's next release is Napoleon, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby. Kubrick attempted to make a film about Napoleon, though it ultimately never happened. "I knew Stanley Kubrick," Scott told Total Film. "The script was sent to me by his estate, to say: 'Do you want to look at this?' But it was birth to death – the whole nine yards. Napoleon did 66 battles. You can’t do 66 battles [on screen]. So you've got to make some choices."
Napoleon hits theaters this November 22. While you wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming major movie release dates for everything else the year has in store.

The first week of December resulted in a relatively quiet box office, albeit with a few pleasant surprises. Among them is Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce, which took the top domestic spot with $22 million, per Deadline. Sure, this latest concert venture is far from the $92M opening of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in October. Still, it’s also the second-best start for a film in this timeframe, trailing only Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai ($24.2M in 2003). Compared to other concert pics, Renaissance remains behind Justin Bieber: Never Say Never ($29.5M in 2011) and Michael Jackson’s This Is It ($23.2M in 2009). PLF and Imax represented 49% of ticket sales, bringing in $5.1M globally.

In our solar system, we are aware that Jupiter is the biggest planet due to its size and mass however, beyond that there are several other planets that are far bigger. Unfortunately, under the current state of things, we cannot say for sure that there is one specific planet that is the biggest. In fact, there are several candidates there. The reason behind that is the uncertainty regarding their sizes and how we define a planet. Check out what Thayne Currie, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Texas, San Antonio said.
Hype for Fede Alvarez's Alien movie is pretty colossal with Ridley Scott already giving it high praise. Now, we finally know when it sits on the franchise’s timeline, and it’s got us speculating what this might mean for the plot of Alien: Romulus.
Director Ridley Scott and actor Joaquin Phoenix reunite for the first time since their work in the iconic 2000 film Gladiator. Twenty-three years later, they are back with another historical epic,. Phoenix portrays Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, during his rise to power and his tumultuous relationship with Joséphine (Vanessa Kirby). Scott’s grand cinematic spectacle demands the colossal canvas of the big screen. Although this movie has a few issues with its pacing and screenplay, and it’s far from Scott or Phoenix’s best work, Napoleon leaves a lasting impression.
