Fede Álvarez is directing a new sequel to Alien and Ridley Scott has seemingly given his notes on the movie and thinks it’s “f***ing great.” Speaking to fellow director Guillermo …

Of course he’s going to say that, but somehow this is the first I’ve heard that Fede Álvarez is directing an Alien movie. It’s hard to be optimistic about a new Alien announcement lately, but I’m hoping this gets a treatment similar to Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey. It’s also a Hulu release so we’ll see.

    Prometheus made me angry at everything and everyone. There was such an interesting story there and it just seemed like every character did the wrong thing. Then the movie ended on what felt like a starting point of something incredible.

    …and then Covenant comes out and just throws the entire Prometheus story in the trash and gives us a generic monster movie with yet another blue-balls ending that will never be resolved.

    We’ll never get a complete story of Prometheus or find out what happens after Covenant.

    “Flawed” is an understatement.

      Both Prometheus and Covenant do have poor quite third acts unfortunately, and killing Shaw was pretty lame I agree. But I have still watched them both a few times and there is some good stuff in there
