Alien needs a fresh start.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ridley Scott is not involved in Disney’s new Alien movie, which is ultimately good news for the franchise. Ridley Scott’s Alien combined sci-fi with horror in an instant classic film that influences other filmmakers to this day. Alien’s success led to a sequel, James Cameron’s Aliens , which revisited the concepts from the first movie with an action-packed approach. None of the following Alien movies, including the Alien vs.
Ridley Scott's Alien Prequels Sent The Franchise In The Wrong Direction Disney’s Alien reboot will have the difficult mission of reigniting the Alien franchise several years after Alien: Covenant’s poor box office performance. Alien: Covenant made $240 million globally on a reported production budget of $100 million, making it a significant box office flop that instantly killed any chances of a direct sequel. Previously, Prometheus had made $403 million on a $130 million budget.
Alien could use something unique, but Ridley Scott’s Alien prequels were just too risky. While the saga needed to distance itself from the previous films, the first Alien movie since Requiem should have been built from recognizable elements. An Alien prequel could have worked, but Prometheus was essentially a completely new story that only tied into the previous films through some significant retcons. Prometheus tells an interesting tale, but it is too convoluted and confusing.
Prometheus and Alien: Covenant were the exact opposite of what Alien was. There were still some “slasher” elements in the Alien prequels – at least one Alien creature ends up hunting the humans in both movies. However, in terms of the narrative, Scott’s Alien prequels were focused on telling a story of epic proportions about the very nature of life across the universe.
