![]() ![]() ![]() For now, we're just going to have to wait and see. Perhaps Disney is waiting to see how Noah Hawley's "Alien" TV show turns out first before they greenlight yet another movie. Scott clearly shows no signs of slowing down - he has two movies due out this year, "The House of Gucci" and "The Last Duel." He also carries a considerable amount of clout in the business. Could that be enough to convince Disney to throw some money his way for at least one more "Alien" movie? I kind of doubt it. Since then we've heard very little regarding another Ridley Scott "Alien" movie. But you know, you're asking fundamental questions like, 'Has the Alien himself, the facehugger, the chestburster, have they all run out of steam? Do you have to rethink the whole bloody thing and simply use the word to franchise?' That's always the fundamental question." Whether or not we go directly back to that is doubtful because Prometheus woke it up very well. "We went down a route to try and reinvent the wheel with Prometheus and Covenant. He said a potential new movie was "in process," adding: What was the purpose of the vehicle and what was the purpose of the eggs? That's the thing to question - who, why, and for what purpose is the next idea, I think."īut later that same year he seemed ready to maybe admit defeat. "What I always thought when I was making the first one why would a creature like this be made and why was it traveling in what I always thought was a kind of war-craft, which was carrying a cargo of these eggs. ![]() In 2020, Scott was still beating the drum, saying: John Logan, who wrote "Covenant," was on board to write the script for this new movie, which would be called " Alien: Awakening." But the project continued to stall. Scott said that if the film got made it would return to the planet LV-426, which is where the characters in the first "Alien" ran afoul of those alien eggs and the face-huggers within. I think AI is becoming much more dangerous and therefore more interesting. But I think if you go again you need to start finding another solution that's more interesting. People say, 'You need more alien, you need more face pulling, need more chest bursting,' so I put a lot of that in Covenant and it fitted nicely. I think what we have to do is gradually drift away from the alien stuff. But what of Ridley Scott and his potential movies? In December of 2017, even after the low box office returns of "Covenant" were in, Scott was still talking about making more movies, saying: Ridley Scotts plans for the new sequel/prequel have become Alien: Paradise Lost, which will join the other seven movies in the impossibly sprawling franchise. ![]()
