Things picked up in the 2010s. During that period, they produced the Insidious, Purge, and Sinister franchises. Some of their other films include the Happy Death Day films, Get Out, and Ma.
Outside of their horror films, Blumhouse has also produced dramas like BlacKkKlansman and comedies like The Tooth Fairy.
Ridley Scott is an iconic filmmaker known for his sci-fi films including Alien, Blade Runner, and Prometheus. Some of his other credits include Thelma & Louise, ,Legend, Gladiator, and The Martian.
Despite being in his eighties, Scott has now slowed down. In 2021, he released two films, The Last Duel and House of Gucci. Last year, he directed the historical epic, Napoleon, with Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby. Coming up, Scott will release the long-awaited sequel to Gladiator which will feature a star-studded cast with Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, and Pedro Pascal.
Tyler Perry is an actor and director known for his role of Madea, which he created. The character made their first appearance in Perry's 1999 play, I Can Do Bad All by Myself. He would subsequently make several films revolving around the character.
