ALIEN: COVENANT Director Ridley Scott Is In Talks To Helm THE MERLIN SAGA for Disney
Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien, All The Money in the World) is reportedly in talks to direct a new Disney movie focusing on the early life of King Arthur's right-hand man, Merlin. More past the jump...
Nobody could ever accuse Ridley Scott of taking it easy!
According to Variety, the legendary director of such sci-fi classics as Blade Runner and Alien has already lined up his next project: Disney's The Merlin Saga.
The film will serve as an origin story for Merlin the wizard who was instrumental in Arthur Pendragon's ascension to the throne, and is one of two projects based on Arthurian legend currently in the pipeline at Disney, the other being a live-action adaptation of The Sword in the Stone.
The report cautions that nothing is set in stone (no pun) just yet, but "sources close to the situation believe this will be Scott’s next movie."
