I just have a feeling that under Disney they would be more willing to reboot the entire thing than they would to continue it on its current trajectory.
Under Disney it's all about blockbusters & not movies that make a small profit.
Disney will keep the Alien & Predator properties on hold until someone can convince them that a new film can make plenty of cash.Quote from: David Weyland on Jun 09, 2019, 01:32:18 AM
The prequels ... the general direction perversely fits and widens the 'Alien' story and the gravitas that Ridley has brought particularly through David is thought out, well considered and I believe overall will prove to serve the franchise well as time shall show. As artworks with their tones and symbolism it's trying to expand the universe ... all I can hope ultimately is they justify the ambiguity and capatilise fully on their vision in the (at the very least, last) next prequel
You are on the right track for those of us who care about the Alien movies as serious science fiction (horror) films.
With references to 2001, Jurassic Park, classic mystery going back to Agatha Christie & classic science fiction going back to Mary Shelly, the prequels connect to the roots of "Alien" & expand on that.
I wouldn't call Prometheus serious science fiction. Unless looking at cave paintings can somehow translate to navigation coordinates for interstellar objects.
