Ridley Scott Says He Turned Down $20 Million to Make 'Terminator 3': 'I Can't Be Bought'
Ridley Scott said he turned down $20 million to make "Terminator 3." "I'm proud about this. I turned down a $20 million fee. See, I can't be bought, dude," Scott said in an interview with The Guardian published Thursday. The director went on to say that he inquired about how much the film's star Arnold Schwarzenegger would get for a third film, though he ended up still turning the down the multi-million dollar offer. "Someone said: 'Ask what Arnie gets.' I thought: 'I'll try it out.' I said: 'I want what Arnie gets.' When they said yes, I thought: 'F-k me.' . . .
