When he inevitably goes we will lose like 90% of our HollyWood Historical Epics. As a history major and teacher i am super blessed a director like Ridley Scott existed and was successful enough to make these movies. I read "Warriors of God" and never thought i'd ever see a major Hollywood blockbuster about the Crusades with Saladin as a central character.

I'll even watch his shitty movies like "Exodus" for the set pieces and costumes.
