Did Ridley Scott Ditch Paramount’s Bee Gees Biopic? Director Says He’s Expensive But Worth It

Ridley Scott is currently planning to direct a movie about the Bee Gees, which will be produced by Paramount. However, it appears that this project has been put on hold for now. In recent conversations with the studio, the director known for Blade Runner disclosed that he chose to postpone his involvement in the biopic temporarily so he could focus on another film instead.

In a conversation with GQ, Ridley Scott expressed that the studio altered their objectives, which he disagreed with. “I told them, ‘You can’t do this.’ They persisted. I warned them, ‘I might leave if you continue.’ They didn’t think I would, but I did,” explained the esteemed director during the interview.

Afterwards, Ridley Scott expressed that they were asking him to exceed certain boundaries, to which he replied, “No. Next!” They weren’t satisfied with the arrangement. So, I decided to move on. I might be costly, but I’m exceptionally skilled.

As a devoted admirer, I’m eagerly anticipating my upcoming projects. First, I’ll delve into “The Dog Stars,” set to begin filming in April. Later this year, around September, I look forward to embarking on the Bee Gees biopic, as per Deadline’s reports.

In my expert opinion, it appears the film is entitled “You Should Be Dancing.” From what I’ve gathered about this intriguing production, the renowned director of Blade Runner 2049 has shared that this biopic will delve into the intense rivalries and camaraderie among the band members.

Ridley Scott noted his fascination with the working-class background of the Bee Gees, expressing a keen interest in the sibling rivalry and competition they experienced among themselves.

Scott’s latest work was Gladiator II, a sequel to the 2000 movie that starred Russell Crowe.
