Described by film producer Michael Deeley as "the very best eye in the business", director Ridley Scott was born on November 30, 1937 in South Shields, Tyne and Wear. His father was an officer in the Royal Engineers and the family followed him as his career posted him throughout the United Kingdom and Europe before they eventually returned to Teesside. Scott wanted to join the British Army (his elder brother Frank had already joined the Merchant Navy) but his father encouraged him to develop his artistic talents instead and so he went to West Hartlepool College of Art and then London's Royal College of Art where he helped found the film department.
In 1962, he joined the BBC as a trainee set designer working on several high profile series. He attended a trainee director's course while he was there and his first directing job was on an episode of the popular BBC police series Z Cars (1962), Error of Judgement (1965). More TV work followed until, frustrated by the poor financial rewards at the BBC, he went into advertising. With his younger brother, Tony Scott, he formed the advertising production company RSA (Ridley Scott Associates) in 1967 and spent the next 10 years making some of the best known and best loved TV adverts ever shown on British television, including a series of ads for Hovis bread set to the music of Dvorak's New World Symphony which are still talked about today ("'e were a great baker were our dad.")
He began working with producer David Puttnam in the 1970s developing ideas for feature films. Their first joint endeavor, The Duellists (1977) won the Jury Prize for Best First Work at Cannes in 1977 and was nominated for the Palm d'Or, more than successfully launching Scott's feature film career. The success of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) inspired Scott's interest in making science fiction and he accepted the offer to direct Dan O'Bannon's low budget science fiction horror movie Alien (1979), a critical and commercial success that firmly established his worldwide reputation as a movie director.
Blade Runner (1982) followed in 1982 to, at best, a lukewarm reception from public and critics but in the years that followed, its reputation grew - and Scott's with it - as one of the most important sci-fi movies ever made. Scott's next major project was back in the advertising world where he created another of the most talked-about advertising spots in broadcast history when his "1984"-inspired ad for the new Apple Macintosh computer was aired during the Super Bowl on January 22, 1984. Scott's movie career has seen a few flops (notably Legend (1985) and 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992)), but with successes like Thelma & Louise (1991), Gladiator (2000) and Black Hawk Down (2001) to offset them, his reputation remains solidly intact.
Ridley Scott was awarded Knight Bachelor of the Order of the British Empire at the 2003 Queen's New Year Honours for his "substantial contribution to the British film industry". On July 3, 2015, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Royal College of Art in a ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London. He was awarded the BAFTA Fellowship in 2018. BAFTA described him as "a visionary director, one of the great British film-makers whose work has made an indelible mark on the history of cinema. Forty years since his directorial debut, his films continue to cross the boundaries of style and genre, engaging audiences and inspiring the next generation of film talent."Producer- Composer

Some of his more recent film projects include Disney Nature's feature film "Polar Bear" which streamed exclusively on Disney+ in 2022, "The Ambush" directed by Pierre Morel, "Life in a Day 2020" directed Kevin Macdonald, "The Meg" directed by Jon Turteltaub, Aardman's "Early Man" directed by Nick Park for which he received an Annie Award nomination and Disney Nature's "Penguins." His television credits include "Whiskey Cavalier," the miniseries "Catch-22" co-composed with his brother Rupert Gregson-Williams and additionally he wrote the main title theme for "Electric Dreams" and earned an Emmy nomination for the episode entitled "The Commuter." Over the past two decades he has scored three of the five games in the highly successful "Metal Gear Solid" franchise for Konami as well as "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" for Activision, which became the top-selling video game of 2014 and earned him various music gaming awards. Throughout his illustrious and successful career, Gregson-Williams has also collaborated with a diverse array of recording artists such as Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap, Tricky, Peter Murphy, Flea, Hybrid, Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, Trevor Horn, Trevor Rabin, Lebo M., Perry Farrell and Tony Visconti.
Born in England to a musical family, Gregson-Williams earned a music scholarship to St. John's College, Cambridge, at the age of 7 and later gained a coveted spot at London's Guildhall School of Music & Drama, from which he recently received an honorary fellowship. He started his film career as assistant to composer Richard Harvey and later as orchestrator and arranger for Stanley Myers, and then went on to compose his first scores for director Nicolas Roeg. His subsequent collaboration and friendship with composer Hans Zimmer led to Gregson-Williams providing music for such films as "The Rock," "Armageddon" and "The Prince of Egypt" and helped launch his career in Hollywood.
In 2018, Gregson-Williams received the BMI Icon Award, in recognition of his unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers, as well as the Society of Composers & Lyricists' prestigious Ambassador Award.Composer- Cinematographer

Madeleine received critical acclaim in her film debut as A.I. Super weapon Alphie; generating well-deserved Oscar buzz and on December 13, 2023; a Critics Choice nomination for Best Young Actress. The first ever in history for a young actress of Southeast Asian descent. Critics unanimously agreed that Madeleine held a commanding and captivating presence, delivering one of the best performances by a child actor this decade has ever seen.
In March 2024, Madeleine received a "Critics Choice Super Awards" nomination for 'Best Actress in a Science Fiction/Fantasy Movie' and was also revealed to be the recipient of the CAPE (Coalition of Asian Pacific in Entertainment) - 2024 RADIANCE Next Gen Award and Scholarship. The Next Gen Award is a celebration of API Women in entertainment, recognizing the next generation of young and promising talent.
Madeleine's Critics Choice - nominated performance in THE CREATOR, have been instrumental in advancing representation for Southeast Asian talent and API women in Hollywood.
For the six-year-old AI girl named Alphie, who is the story's ultimate weapon, Director Edwards reflected during an interview, on casting its star ensemble. To find the young AI star, the team held an open casting call and discovered newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles, whom Edwards called, "A director's dream."
"We got tapes from hundreds of kids all around the world" Edwards explains. "The first person to audition was Madeleine, and she came in and was fantastic. After she left the room, I just looked at my assistant, and we both said, 'That's her.'" The director said he and everyone who saw Voyles' audition left them in tears. And every scene that they tested for was more heartbreaking than the next.
Adds Sturgill Simpson, who portrays Drew in The Creator; "The world is about to hear all about Madeleine Yuna Voyles. Madeleine is one of the most professional, hard-working, and talented actors out there, and she was 7 years old (when we filmed it). This shoot was not for the fainthearted. We were traveling extensively and working in tough environments, and Madeleine was there every step of the way. We filmed some of the final scenes of the movie in a quarry outside Bangkok in the sweltering heat, and Madeleine delivered this breathtaking performance, and everyone was just looking at each other like: 'Did you just see that?' The entire crew, including some battle-hardened technicians, had tears in their eyes."
Madeleine brings to her performances undeniable natural talent and professionalism. She shines in grounded performances bringing her precocious essence and vulnerability to the characters she portrays.
With an innate ability and a wisdom that exceeds the abilities of so many experienced actors, Madeleine's inherent talent solidifies her as a powerhouse newcomer in young Hollywood.Zu - Actor
