Ridley Scott Thinks There’s Still Mileage Left in the ALIEN Saga
When we last saw the Alien saga on the big screen, it wasn’t doing so hot in Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant with Michael Fassbender and Katherine Waterston. But today Scott reveals that he still thinks there’s a lot of mileage left in the series.
He tells the LA Times: “I still think there’s a lot of mileage in ‘Alien,’ but I think you’ll have to now re-evolve. What I always thought when I was making it, 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.“
