'Gladiator II' cinematographer drags Ridley Scott as "lazy" and "rushes to get done"

[GraceRandolph]

You really can't make this up. In a recent podcast interview with DocFix, "Gladiator 2" cinematographer John Mathieson has seemingly thrown Ridley Scott under the bus.

Mathieson has worked as Scott's director of photography on six films, including "Gladiator," "Matchstick Men" and "Kingdom of Heaven." There's a good chance they won't ever collaborate again after these comments.

In the podcast interview, Mathieson claims that Scott has become "lazy," and "rushes" to get things done. He further adds that Scott's current approach has negatively impacted the quality of his recent films, including their look and feel.

I've never seen a bigger missed opportunity in recent cinema. What should've been a high camp over the top soap opera film ended up being a boardroom drama with most of Gaga's incredible work on the cutting room floor.

 

A gay should've directed HoG, not this dried up dork.

Well, he's not wrong.
