Scott: We are going to make another Alien movie

[0321recon]

I'm happy to hear this. Of course, I'm still scared what Scott might do to the franchise if he goes too far, but I do want to see another movie to finish David's story. Lets just hope he does it right and David gets the ending he deserves.

Long story short, please get a good writer for this who knows what they're doing and I'll be glad to see where the next story takes us.

I agree. For this film, I'd bring in a person who is fan of the franchise to amend some of the issues from the other two films. Though, in the same time, deliver a script close to BR2049 that nicely closes the trilogy.

I don't want Scott to ever have the opportunity to solidify with certainty that David created the alien.

If David had created the Predator, nobody would defend Scott.

What if David created [insert random creature]?

[The Old One]

What if David created [UR MOM]?

Andrew Gaska, who we had on our Prometheus episode of the poddy, shared this on Prequel Paradise -

So it's 100% confirmed Scott is doing another one? Cool.

The chat continued and Andrew revealed some details that we had suspected a while back.

[The Old One]

Hell, not that it's likely but Ridley Scott's been known in the past to make a film well enough that midway in production it's budget has been doubled.

I think it was a horror called "creature" or something back in 1979.

Feel a bit uneasy about trusting facebook screenshots, but still, fingers crossed for more embryo-kino

[The Cruentus]

I would take it with a pinch of salt.

As far as I know, David only vomited up two small "eggs" with two mini facehuggers in them.

Yes, it's a concept art piece. What I want is more embryos.

[The Old One]

I love A-3371.

But I'm certain that image is merely a concept piece, regardless- if a single Facehugger contains Plagiarus Praepotens/the pathogen in some form and considering the technology David Eight has access to, he'd perhaps only need the one to create- far, far more- even in the absence of a Royal/Praetorian Facehugger.

Substantially reduced budget?  . I hope Ridley can still make an epic finale.

Andrew did mention they're ways that something with the engineers and xenos could be done with a low budget. Scott and co need to be creative about it.

the Alien series has been known for its films with minimal budgets. I'd say go old school with miniature models, man in suit, character driven, with minimal to no no cgi. It can be done. We only need a good script to close the trilogy.
