Since his debut in 1977 with the historical drama, The Duellists, director Ridley Scott has gradually built up an eclectic body of work. His Hollywood career began with the stunning one-two sci-fi punch of Alien and Blade Runner, before heading off into fantasy (Legend), thrillers (Someone To Watch Over Me, Black Rain) and road-trip drama (the Oscar-winning Thelma And Louise).

As James Clayton pointed out in his recent Friday column, the 70-something Sir Ridley shows no sign of slowing down, and if anything, his slate of forthcoming films is somewhat bewildering – in what seems like every other interview, the director will mention another project of one sort or another, which makes working out what he’s likely to be doing over the next few years a little tricky to work out.

So to help, here’s a look at the various film projects Ridley Scott’s mentioned or been attached to over the past five or so years, and a (decidedly unscientific) guess at just how likely they are to happen.

Exodus

The announcement of this project, and the imminent arrival of Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, suggests that we might be in for a miniature Biblical epic revival of sorts. Ridley Scott’s no stranger to historical films on a broad canvas, and stories don’t get much more widescreen than Exodus, a glossy retelling of Moses and the Israelites’ journey out of ancient Egypt.
