In 2012, Scott produced the commercial for Lady Gaga's fragrance, "Fame."
It was touted as the first ever black Eau de Parfum, in the informal credits attached to the trailer for this advertisement.
On 24 June 2013, Scott's series Crimes of the Century debuted on CNN.
In November 2012 it was announced that Scott would produce the documentary, Springsteen & I directed by Baillie Walsh and inspired by Life in a Day, which Scott also produced.
The film featured fan footage from throughout the world on what musician Bruce Springsteen meant to them and how he impacted their lives.
The film was released for one day only in 50 countries and on over 2000 film screens on 22 July 2013.

Scott directed The Counselor (2013), with a screenplay by author Cormac McCarthy.
On 25 October 2013, Indiewire reported that "Before McCarthy sold his first spec script for Scott's (The Counselor) film, the director was heavily involved in developing an adaptation of the author's 1985 novel Blood Meridian with screenwriter Bill Monahan (The Departed).
But as Scott said in a Time Out interview, '[Studios] didn't want to make it.
The book is so uncompromising, which is what's great about it.'
Described as an 'anti-western'..." Scott directed the biblically-inspired epic film Exodus: Gods and Kings, released in December 2014 which received negative reviews from critics (particularly for the casting of white actors as Middle Eastern characters) and grossed $268 million on a $140 million budget making it as a box office disappointment.
Filmed at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, the film starred Christian Bale in the lead role.

In May 2014, Scott began negotiations to direct The Martian, starring Matt Damon as Mark Watney.
Like many of Scott's previous works, The Martian features a heroine in the form of Jessica Chastain's character who is the mission commander.
The film was originally scheduled for release on 25 November 2015, but Fox later switched its release date with that of Victor Frankenstein, and thus The Martian was released on 2 October 2015.
 The Martian was a critical and commercial success, grossed over $630 million worldwide, becoming Scott's highest-grossing film to date.

A sequel to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, started filming in 2016, premiered in London on 4 May 2017, and received general release on 19 May 2017.
The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising Michael Fassbender's dual performance and calling the film a return to form for both director Ridley Scott and the franchise.

In August 2011, information leaked about production of a sequel to Blade Runner by Alcon Entertainment, with Alcon partners Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove.
Scott informed the Variety publication in November 2014 that he was no longer the director for the film and would only fulfill a producer's role.
Scott also revealed that filming would begin sometime within 2015, and that Harrison Ford has signed on to reprise his role from the original film but his character should only appear in "the third act" of the sequel.
On 26 February 2015, the sequel was officially confirmed, with Denis Villeneuve hired to direct the film, and Scott being an executive producer.
The sequel, Blade Runner 2049, was released on 6 October 2017.

From May to August 2017, Scott filmed All the Money in the World, a drama about the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III, starring Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams.
Kevin Spacey originally portrayed Getty Sr.
However, after multiple sexual assault allegations against the actor, Scott decided to replace him with Christopher Plummer, saying "You can't condone that kind of behaviour in any shape or form.
We cannot let one person's action affect the good work of all these other people.
It's that simple."
Scott began re-shooting Spacey's scenes with Plummer on 20 November, which included filming at Elveden Hall in west Suffolk, England.
With a release date of 25 December 2017, the film studio had its doubts that Scott would manage it, saying: "They were like, 'You'll never do it.
God be with you.'"
