I wonder how long it’ll be before Ridley Scott makes a prequel/sequel/sidequel to Legend that retcons Darkness, the fairies, the goblins, etc. into being extraterrestrials with sufficiently advanced technology, probably with ties to the Prometheus/Alien Universe. Lord knows preserving the film’s mysticism and grandeur come a distant second to Ridley’s need to profit off nostalgia since he’s too much of a worn-out old fart to create any new stories worth a damn.
I was going to counter this by mentioning The Martian, but it was a book first so he didn’t make that story either, but he did a good job adapting it IMO.
