Ridley Scott
The Alien director didn't hold back after reviews in France slammed the filmmaker's "deeply clumsy" new movie.
Joaquin Phoenix takes the lead in Ridley Scott's new historical biopic, alongside The Crown's Vanessa Kirby.
"If Paul Mescal does hand to hand combat with a pack of baboons then best picture 2025 is locked and loaded."
The 85-year-old pulled no punches when asked for his feelings on the matter.
The film was previously accused of "stealing the identity of a family to make a profit to increase the income of the Hollywood system".
The unprecedented move has been described as "monumentally expensive".
