Ridley Scott revealed that he turned down a $20 million offer to direct Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Despite the substantial fee, Scott declined because he believed he would \"f*#% it up\" by attempting to make the film \"too real,\" considering the Terminator franchise to be \"pure comic strip\" and inherently campy. He stated that he couldn't be bought and would only direct something he was passionate about, even comparing it to directing a James Bond film, which he also believes he would ruin due to his serious approach.
