Last night director Ridley Scott (pictured above on the set of Alien: Genesis with star Anya Camilla Bella) celebrated his 74th birthday at Los Angeles' Katsuya restaurant with his girlfriend and at the nearby Grauman's Chinese Theater there was a private screening of the film's new teaser trailer which was exclusively shown to a handful of critics and select fans who won an online contest. Afterwards Ridley held a brief Q & A and while the biggest topic of discussion was the leaked version of the trailer by a 20th Century Fox employee (whom Ridley said was "swiftly dealt with"...aka FIRED), he also touched on Michael's injuries on set. When asked if there's any truth to the rumor that Michael was hurt on set Scott replied: "Well he had a bad scrape. He was riding the motorbikes some of the crew on the ship ride during a scene and he wiped out. He crashed, tipped over, or whatever. It looked pretty bad. He broke his left shoulder, and badly sprained both feet. But the next week he was back and ready to go. He's a quick healer. He was a trooper. I'm sure he will be fine." He was then asked if Meyers ever complained of pain or any discomfort on set and Ridley said "No. Never. He never told me. He just kept on going. Everyone complained about the bio suits, how hard they were to walk in or what have you, but that was a given and something everyone had to deal with, not just him."
