Sir Ridley Scott’s untitled “Bee Gees” biopic has stalled at Paramount Pictures due to a contractual dispute, the “Gladiator 2” filmmaker said in a new interview.
“The deal — the studio changed the goalposts,” Scott told GQ. “I said, ‘You can’t do that.’ They insisted. I said, ‘Well, I’m going to warn you, I will walk, because I will go on to the next movie.’ They didn’t believe me, and I did.”
Scott remains optimistic the project will resume, suggesting it could be his second film this year once the deal issues are resolved.
“I was being asked to go too far,” Scott added.
