You’ve got to hand it to Ridley Scott, he’s 88 and has a bunch of projects in development, many of which I presume will never see the light of day.

Now that Michael Bay has denied that he’s directing the toilet meme movie, I’m hearing that he is indeed set to start shooting his next film later this summer.
