Yeah, his last couple of efforts got decent reviews and turned a profit.

Odd that Fox seemingly has so many 'only options'.

Because of the financial risk.  Alien 4 did not perform well.  Why would they make a sequel?  And what other options do they have?

SM

Sequel to Resurrection.
New version of Alien 3.
Sequel to Covenant.
New AvP film.
Midquel between Prometheus and Covenant.
Something else entirely.
Do nothing.

But according to number of people here, one particular course is the "only option".

Midquel would confuse everyone. By everyone, I mean, general audiences.

They have 4 realistic options:

1.- Sequel to Covenant.

2.- New A versus P.

3.- Do nothing.

4.- ALIEN V with a different director. I read FOX liked Blomkamp's ideas but they don't have faith in him as Director.

SM

I think he's using his Alien ideas on Oats Volume 1.  He's not one to throw ideas away.

QuoteI had no idea SM and Hicks were high-up lever pullers at Fox.

Funny about that...

SM, that's too cryptic for me! Did you guys mention this to your contacts? Sorry - I'm still only half way down my coffee...

Sequel to Resurrection.

A sequel to the under-performing film in the franchise.  Won't happen.

QuoteNew version of Alien 3.

Essentially a retcon.

QuoteSequel to Covenant.

Already being made.

QuoteNew AvP film.

After the last ones got such poor reviews?  Nope.

QuoteMidquel between Prometheus and Covenant.

That's likely to happen.  :P

QuoteSomething else entirely.

TV series/streaming.  Maybe.

QuoteDo nothing.

Not so long as money exists.

you know this how again?

I doubt you have any authority on the matter...

But hey, if I am talking to the wallet of FOX... can we please have conclusions for the storylines in Aliens: Colonial Marines and Alien : Isolation first?

No? Well then... anything is possible then I guess... :P

Well I can't speak for Hicks, but I'm not even on the same continent as the lever, nevermind pulling it.

Russ

Haha, ok, cheers :-)

Scorpio

Studios are predictable because they just want money.  But yeah, anything is possible given enough time.  I am talking within the next 5-10 years, though.

He's doing an AMA on Reddit this Thursday @ 9AM PST (4PM GMT). Why not ask him yourself?

Looks like its 5pm BST. I was planning on asking about that original Alien concept and who he envisioned replacing Carrie Henn if 3.2 had been made.

Thread is here.

Ha, he's just getting bombarded with questions. No way to answer them all. We'll see if he mentions any more details with regards to Alien 3.2.

Wouldn't surprise me if he had Dakota Fanning in mind for Newt.

It's been 20 minutes and 2 answers so far.  :'(
