The veteran director also hit back against criticism from the Gucci family about 'House of Gucci': 'It was about murder. They forget: He was murdered. One of the brothers went to jail for tax evasion. So don’t talk to me about making a profit.'
, the 83-year-old hit back at the criticism from Patrizia Gucci in April that the MGM film was “stealing the identity of a family to make a profit to increase the income of the Hollywood system.”
Said Scott: “It was about murder. They forget: He was murdered. One of the brothers went to jail for tax evasion. So don’t talk to me about making a profit. Are you kidding? When you do that you tend to become public domain.”, Scott said that he had live ammunition anywhere near his productions. “I don’t know what a real gun or real ammunition was doing on the goddamned set,” he said. “Someone should get in trouble for that. Absolutely crazy. You never have any live ammunition near the set.”
Scott said that he often uses guns that have a solid barrel. “You get a click and a recoil, but nothing will happen. You can put a cap in it, but it’s not a blank.”
