The pic is Scott ’s first foray into the young adult genre after geezerhood of producing more grownup sci - fi movies . However , it ’s not the first metre that he ’s work with Amazon Studios , seeing as he ’s an executive producer on their alternative - history seriesThe Man in the   High Castle . The Beast Is a Animalwon’t be add up out any prison term presently as it ’s still in the former development level , but there are plenty of other   moving picture either produced and/or direct by Scott in the word of mouth right now .

Blade Runner 2049 , the continuation to Scott ’s   1982 classic , hit dramatic art this October with Denis Villeneuve directing . Meanwhile , Scott will be back in the director ’s chair for the upcoming criminal offence dramaAll the Money in the World . The movie , star Kevin Spacey , Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg , tells the genuine story behind the   snatch of John Paul Getty III and his grandad ’s refusal to be extorted by the snatcher .

In late age there has been a slew of young adult fable adaptations , from the successfulHunger Gamesfranchise to the not so successfulThe Fifth Wave-   but with Scott onboard , The Beast Is an Animalmay very well shake up the music genre . The British filmmaker is a master of the sinister sci - fi musical genre and given the glowering nature of the book of account , he might just be the best soul to help bring it to life on the flatware blind .
