Luke Scott

Born in England, Luke Scott was the younger of two sons by Oscar-winning filmmaker Ridley Scott and his first wife, Felicity Heywood. Like his older brother, Jake, Luke followed his father into the movie business, working as an art director on various features, including the elder Scott's 1992 film, "1492: Conquest of Paradise," and on advertising campaigns produced by his father's company, RSA. By 1993, Luke Scott had begun directing advertising campaign spots for major corporate clients like Nike, Coca-Cola and the California Board of Tourism; he also oversaw an award-winning promotional film, a faux "TED Conference" (2012) featuring actor Guy Pearce that was used in the marketing campaign for his father's "Prometheus" (2012). Scott made his debut as a television director in 1999 with an episode of "The Hunger" (Showtime, 1997-2000), a supernatural anthology series from Scott Free Productions, a production company overseen by Ridley Scott and his brother, Tony. He continued to work closely with his father on subsequent productions, including the science fiction short "Loom" (2012), which he wrote and directed and his father executive produced, and on his father's biblical epic "Exodus: Gods and Kings" (2014), for which he served as second unit director. Two years later, he assumed the director's chair for "Morgan" (2016), a science fiction/horror film about a genetically created human (Anya Taylor-Joy) which proves dangerous for its handlers. The film, executive produced by his father, drew mixed reviews during its theatrical run.
