Ridley Scott 'If you really want a franchise, I can keep cranking it for another six,'


"If you really want a franchise, I can keep cranking it for another six," The Sydney Morning Herald has quoted him as saying.

It would seem that Neil Blohmkamp chap isn't going to get his movie made if this is the case.

It is a lengthy and information filled article and worth a read for fans.

That Blomkamp movie is dead. I called that out the minute they put it on hold so Ridley could execute his vision. If Prometheus was a hit, they both would have done their separate things. There's no way they're going to try to execute a two headed, multiple timeline franchise creatively competing with itself. That's just bad business.

Agreed. Ridley Scott is here to stay - hopefully he has an interesting vision to offer. It seems there is already another script written called "Alien: Awakening", which might be a prequel to "Covenant"... we might find out then what happened to Elizabeth Shaw.
