"It's like, okay, we've got it, we've got the whole Freudian biomechanoid meme. I've seen it in 100 horror films since. I think both of those films stand at a certain point in time, as a reference point. But is there any validity to doing another one now? I don't know. Maybe. Let's see, jury's out.

From Hawley's perspective, 20th Century's Alien films—helmed by Scott, James Cameron and David FIncher—have always been "great monster movies" that are "not just monster movies. "They're about humanity trapped between our primordial, parasitic past and our artificial intelligence future—and they're both trying to kill us," he said. "Here you have human beings and they can't go forward and they can't go back."
