• He estimated roughly 5% of new releases are great, 10% are pretty good, about 40% are not bad, and the remainder are subpar.
• Scott said he has begun rewatching his own work, citing Black Hawk Down, and argued that strong storytelling is too often missing.
• He noted he has wrapped The Dog Stars and described having a conceptual footprint for a potential Gladiator 3.
• Coverage also referenced recent remarks by Channing Tatum about incentives that can encourage lower-quality projects.
