Ridley Scott to receive VES Lifetime Achievement Award

November 25, 2014 by admin

While J.J. Abrams (Star Trek) will be lauded with the VES Visionary Award, British filmmaker-producer Ridley Scott will be receiving the VES Lifetime Achievement Award for a career that includes Alien (1979), Blade Runner (1982), Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Prometheus (2012) and the forthcoming Biblical epic Exodus: Gods & Kings (2014).

“Ridley Scott is a defining voice of the feature, broadcast and commercial forms,” stated “Jeffrey A. Okun, VES Board Chair.  “His vision and contribution to the art is incomparable and his impact upon the visual effects and technical form is unparalleled.  Ridley has given us a body of groundbreaking work to aspire to, and for this we are honored to award him with the prestigious Visual Effects Society Lifetime Achievement Award.”

“The best filmmaking has always been the result of collaboration between artists, craftspeople and technicians, both in front and behind the camera,” remarked Ridley Scott. “Over the years I have been very fortunate to work on films that are visual at their core and thus I have always been immensely reliant on the expertise of our visual effects teams. To be honored by the Visual Effects Society with this Lifetime Achievement Award is indeed extremely gratifying.”

Ridley Scott will be releasing Exodus: Gods and Kings featuring Christian Bale (American Hustle) on December 12, 2014 and he is currently in production on The Martian with Matt Damon (Interstellar) which is set to appear on the big screen in 2015.  Scott will be honoured during the 13th Annual VES Awards on February 4, 2015 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
