Just a few days before the release of his latest film Alien: Covenant (out May 19), Ridley Scott was honored with his very own Hand, Footprint Ceremony in the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre on Wednesday (May 17) in Hollywood.
The 79-year-old film director and producer was accompanied by his wife, actress Giannina Facio, his Alien: Covenant stars – Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterson, Jussie Smollett, Carmen Ejogo, Danny McBride, Amy Seimetz and Nathaniel Dean – and Harrison Ford, who appeared in Ridley‘s classic Blade Runner, and will reprise his role in the upcoming sequel.
“I never, ever could have dreamed this (would be) happening right now, so this is beyond an honor. It’s a dream,” Ridley expressed at the event (via NBC). “It’s a rare honor to be alongside such greats. I’m still learning and still curious after 40 years in film, which honestly has felt like a blink in time for me. I don’t feel I’ve ever worked a day in my life. I think to me it’s one big holiday. I just adore it.”
