Ridley Scott Reveals He Turned Down $20 Million to Direct TERMINATOR 3

Ridley Scott revealed that he turned down a $20 million offer to direct Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Despite the substantial fee, Scott declined because he believed he would "f*#% it up" by attempting to make the film "too real," considering the Terminator franchise to be "pure comic strip" and inherently campy. He stated that he couldn't be bought and would only direct something he was passionate about, even comparing it to directing a James Bond film, which he also believes he would ruin due to his serious approach. While Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day are often seen as gritty sci-fi, Scott's decision highlights his commitment to projects that align with his directorial vision.R[1]idley Scott disclosed that he declined a $20 million offer to direct Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
