No!" he cries– but he's more vocal about the Alien franchise, which he resurrected with 2012's origin story Prometheus. "I never showed an alien in it" – it still made $404 million at the box office – "and the studio ... said, 'See, it didn't do so well!' Really?" He returned with 2017's Alien: Covenant, "put the aliens back in there", and the film made much less: $240m worldwide. "When you've got a marvellous beast, it does wear out and you have to actually think again."
" The franchise is now being rebooted as a TV series by Noah Hawley (who successfully turned Fargo into a long-running show). Wherever they go, whatever they do, "It'll never be as good as the first one," he grins. "That's what I'll say."
Doesn't sound like he's involved with the TV series to me....
Plus someone tell him Aliens is better.
