'Blade Runner 2049' director Denis Villeneuve had to ask Ridley Scott to leave the film set. Why? Because Villeneuve couldn't work under the pressure of being watched by his hero, Ridley Scott. In an interview with Deadline.com, Villeneuve said having Scott standing there was "unbearable." Villeneuve was daunted by Scott's legacy. Scott's presence only added to the pressure Villeneuve was under. Blade Runner 2049 is considered a visual and cultural masterpiece as well as a box office failure.
