ALIEN FRANCHISE IN HOLDING PATTERN
Posted: 010419

Producers Want to Move the Franchise Forward but the Disney/Fox Deal Looms

Ridley Scott says the Alien franchise could be as big as Star Wars and Star Trek. He told the Toronto Sun, “There’s no reason why Alien should now not be on the same level for fans as Star Trek and Star Wars. So I think the next step as to where we go is, do we sustain the series with the evolution of the beast or do we reinvent something else? I think you need to have an evolution on this famous beast because he’s the best monster ever, really.” The problem is that Disney now owns Fox so it is up to them to determine if there will be another Alien film. We already knew that the Neill Blomkamp’s planned direct Aliens sequel was dead because he has lost interest in the project. The follow up to Alien: Covenant was Alien: Awakening which would have told the story of Michael Fassbender’s David and the return of the Engineers with the survivors of that race coming after the android. The film was going to take place either on the Engineer’s planet or the planet discovered in the first film. A rumored Alien TV series was just that, a rumor. Scott is willing to continue the Blade Runner franchise and has an idea if Warner Bros is willing. The franchise is getting an anime series that will run on Adult Swim called Blade Runner: Black Lotus.
