Disney & Fox Confirm Alien Series Remains In Development Under New Ownership!

If and when we do get a new movie, it might not be even released in theaters, but rather Hulu and an international equivalent:

• "Sources say the 20th Century Fox silo could make 10 or more movies a year, with half or more headed directly for Disney's new streaming service or Hulu, now controlled by Disney."

It's a little sad that I'm not even bothered that Ridley's prequel series might have been cancelled.

Likewise.

I doubt. Star Wars, Marvel - on the big screen. Why not Alien?

Money.

[Drukathi]

Money? You mean box-office? In this case, X-man also go to Hulu.

[Local Trouble]

X-Men will be rebooted as part of the MCU.  If anything, it was one of the prize assets that Disney got in the acquisition.

Alien Covenant made 74 Million total only in the US, the very country studios get the biggest portion of ticket sales. If that's a Star Wars or Marvel movie, that's an epic disaster flop performance.

[The Old One]

Yeah, for especially Disney's expectations for performance.

BURN IT ALL DOWN

Honestly I think they'll just go for a soft reboot. New ship, new crew, original alien. Nothing about the origins.

So... Life?

[HuDaFuK]

Life was a far better Alien movie than any of Ridley's prequels if you ask me.

[Perfect-Organism]

It felt like a cheap retread of Alien to me.  That was my first jaded reaction to it.  It's on Netflix now so I might give it a gander.

I enjoyed Prometheus much more than Life.  I don't think it was the Alien aspects either.  It was just such a grand vision that despite its shortcomings, the grandeur cannot be obscured.

Prometheus for all its faults was streets ahead of Life.

I unequivocally argree with this.

[HuDaFuK]

My biggest issue with Prometheus is it only thinks it's a smart movie.

Life, on the other hand, knew exactly what it was, and hit its marks with far greater success.
