I'm not sure there's any substance to that rumour. I'm only really seeing it from fans going "wouldn't it be nice."
Exactly how I feel about predator, constant disappointments and let downs yet they will always get my money, man I'm a sucker! 😂 @NetworkATTH
Its like they are trolling Poor LT lol
Let's hope I can keep up the momentum!
Seems he will after all...

We've never had Gareth on the podcast. Met him several times and been out for food together though. Awesome chap. His Alien costume's dog collar even ended up in Colonial Marines.
Merlin Saga script is finished and ready to go. Scott's production designer (Arthur Max), his cinematographer (Dariusz Wolski) and his costume designer (Janty Yates) is already attached to the project so it's probably what Scott is working on right now - though there has been no official announcement yet.
Doubt very much that there is any movement with regards to a Covenant sequel. There's just nothing on the radar.
The shooting was supposed to start in March but it seems to be pushing again ...
Seriously, do you think Scott is going to make an uninspired umpteenth spy movie based on a forgotten comic ?! Maybe at production and still .. (But you're right, you never know in Hollywood!!) Merlin saga, why not ?! But no idea if the scenario is ready or not. We know that Scott often rewrites his scripts for months.
The Battle of Britain would be a realistic project, a huge project. Scott would love to do it. But it may be added to Scott's long list of dead projects, such as Tripoli, King David, The Eternal War, Prisoners, Monopoly (lol) and so many.
Finally, for me, the only thing that seems really concrete is finished this prequel franchise. Ok, the last episode didn't work commercially. But it would be stupid not to finish it. With a controlled budget, this remains possible.
I have the feeling that something is slowly getting ready for Alien's 40th birthday. Ridley Scott is certainly working on the script for the sequel now, and I don't think he's doing anything else now, which is very surprising, it's a very busy man! I think that this sequel won't change the plans of Disney, it's better to finish the prequel before doing new things (or reboot or marvelisation..). What's more logical to let the creator of the first film finish his vision 40 years later.
Ah thank you so much for this.
Yes Dennis Lowe's "ALIEN FANS- 2" in the link below.5th video down in the link.

Amazing documentary for all those who haven't seen it yet. "Gareth Elner" is the "ALIEN costume guy" whose voice sounds familiar like he's been on a podcast is the person who went to ALIEN-WAR.
What was that "ALIEN fan" documentary that came out after AVP-R but before PROMETHEUS that featured a guy who became a fan of ALIEN through "ALIEN WAR" (UK) and set about making his own XENOMORPH costume. He complained that ALIEN-Ressurection Xenos looked like cockroaches.
Also featured a surreal painting artist and a computer graphics maker all inspired by ALIEN.
In 30 more days it'll be a year ALIEN-COVENANT was released. Only this time it does feel like a long time has passed.
I think that one of the companies named in the press release is responsible for the cinema re-releases/events so it's a likelihood that is pretty reasonable.
Unknown for sure but hopefully.
Wish I could have this trailer for a screen saver.
I would be very surprised. I believe they might just announce a new figure, show a picture of a prototype. I hope I'm wrong and they have something planned!
Yeah, wanna see Dust to Dust. I am mostly looking forward to something new and any surprise announcements. Wouldn't mind some news on Covenant 2...
Or if not AVP, a Pred game. 5 chapters, not necessarily the same pred: A Cretacous level, couple of alien world levels (not necessarily with 'Aliens', but other beasts), a 'Nam level, a Ryushi-like space colony.
Sorry guys, daydreamin' again, went a little going off topic there...
Someone above mentioned a Covenant sequel. I second that!
