Work on the Sequels Stopped?

[Corporal Hicks]

I'm not 100% on which episode this actually got mentioned in (I think it was this one - https://perfectorganism.podbean.com/e/episode-58-the-blomkamp-controversy-sequel-ideas/) but the fellas over at Perfect Organism have been told that work on the sequels has now stopped.

I'm not heard anything myself but I know these guys do have legit contacts.

I hope they mean alien 5 and not Covenant sequels. Those mofo's over at fox owe us at least one movie to wrap this shit up.

[Corporal Hicks]

They mean the prequel sequels.

[whiterabbit]

Gunfunit! I hope all this means is another 5 year hiatus.

Great...So (maybe) Aliens: Colonial Marines / Alien: Isolation and now Alien: Covenant are all left hanging....

*sigh

What sucks about this if it's true is we won't get anything for like 5 years. It also stinks because I actually did want to see how this whole thing ended.

That being said I'm not really surprised. The fan reactions to Covenant have been overwhelmingly negative.

I'd donate $100m myself in an instant if I had that much money to burn.

I'm not going to believe second hand info from some fan podcast. 

Alien Covenant did make money.  They will make more.

[Salt The Fries]

If I were Scott, I'd really insist and use whatever private funding from whatever he's making off Scott Free and other stuff. But Scott is very pragmatic now, so I don't know...

Not overwhelmingly negative.  A lot of people think they're great!  You might like to re-evaluate your assessment there. 

Besides, this kind of rumor flies around all the time.  It's complete horseshit until officially announced by Fox.

Fox is not going to release a formal statement saying they aren't working on a Covenant sequel.

[hfeldhaus]

You're going to have to wait until one of the stars is promoting another film or Scott himself. You won't get shit out of Fox about this.

It's a shame really, I'm not a huge fan of the prequels (prefer Covenant to Prometheus) but I want to see where they're going. Especially after that cliffhanger ending.

[Richman678]

Maybe it just means Ridley Scott wont be working on it.

[JokersWarPig]

If this turns out to be true then that's excellent news.

[Jonesy1974]

I don't buy this at all. Wouldn't have thought they would make any decisions until after the Japan release anyway.
