Holding onto a sliver of hope.

I will remain indifferent/optimistic (if that makes any sense) about this.

I actually quite liked Don't Breathe, to be honest. It was a bit of a throw away horror movie, but it was a good film at the time I saw it. I haven't seen anything else of his that I recall, though.

That new movie better come with a new toy, or that thumbnail will leave me severely disappointed!

As long as Ridley isn't attached to this, I'm in.

I really never understood this position personally to be honest. From a general public's perception, he's made one out of three good Alien films. He's a father of the classic 1979 Alien, indeed, but he's one of many fathers. And I wouldn't want anyone who's deeply in a position of 'the beast is cooked' to helm a new Alien film...

I'm gutted that Hicks doesn't like the Evil Dead series or Sam Raimi 😆

I'm all for the franchise moving beyond Ridley. The whole appeal of Alien as an ongoing franchise is that each new filmmaker that tackles the material approaches it in a new way and puts a new spin on it.

But I also think that not letting Ridley wrap up his story with one last installment in his prequel narrative before moving on to new iterations of the series is a colossal missed opportunity.

I want to see what new people do with Alien moving forward. James Cameron, David Fincher, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet all brought things to the table that I adore, and helped shape Alien as a sort of "auteur's" blockbuster series where the filmmaker's voice really does allow each installment to differ from the rest (even if Fox sometimes tried to squash that voice). The franchise on the whole isn't Ridley's. But the prequel story is, and the prequel story remains unfinished.
