There Might Be Another “Alien” Prequel in Store

Goran D. Kleut in "Alien: Covenant"

We may not have seen the last of the Alien franchise…

Believe it or not, the original science-fiction feature came out 40 years ago.

Sigourney Weaver, John Hurt, and Ian Holm brought to life the film about a space crew that had to contend with the rather aggressive extraterrestrial.

The franchise extended with the inclusion of three sequels, Aliens in 1986, Alien 3 in 1992, and Alien Resurrection in 1997.

While James Cameron, David Fincher, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet handled the sequels, original director, Ridley Scott, worked on the prequels. These included Prometheus in 2012 and Alien: Covenant, which came out in 2017.

Reports now claim that the Blade Runner director is working on another.

According to Variety, work is being done for a third prequel, which will possibly be titled Alien: Awakening.

While nothing about the plot or production has yet been confirmed, it is believed that Scott will once again assume directing duties.
