Ridley Scott to Direct Supernatural Thriller Stones

Ridley Scott is one busy man. Frankly, I don’t know how he can end up directing all of these movies that he’s currently attached to. And besides, if he ends up doing “Nottingham” with Russell Crowe and this new movie, “Stones”, then how will he ever find time to direct that (very terrible idea that was the) “Monopoly” movie that was rumored a while back? But I digress. Something like “Stones” would seem more up Scott’s alley, as a film with this kind of premise would benefit from a great visual director like Scott. If Scott does end up directing “Stones” as reported by Variety, he’ll be working off a script by Matt Cirulnick.

Project is a big-scale supernatural thriller revolving around the mysterious destruction of ancient religious sites around the world. It turns out that Stonehenge is the tie that binds together artifacts that still have primeval powers.

The movie is planned as a post-strike film, which would put it somewhere in 2009 or 2010. Scott is currently directing “Body Of Lies” with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, and has “Nottingham” lined up after that.
