Filmmaker Danny Boyle challenged his fellow Britisher Ridley Scott after "The Martian" director called his acclaimed 2015 movie "straightforward".
Scott insisted he had no problems shooting the Mars-based movie once he started filming, because the script was so good, prompting Steve Jobs director Boyle to protest, because he'll never make another space film after tackling "Sunshine" in 2007.
Boyle interrupted his peer and stated, "It's weird making space movies, because you are in the footsteps of the people who have been there before, principally him (Scott)... It was so tough.
