After nearly a decade, Ridley Scott is returning to the ‘Alien’ franchise with a contemporary take. He recently revealed that he’s “rewriting the next ‘Alien’ film,” which will serve as a long-awaited conclusion to his prequel trilogy that also includes ‘Prometheus’ (2012) and ‘Alien: Covenant’ (2017), with Michael Fassbender’s Walter One returning. “I’m picking up where we left off in Covenant’ with Micheal Fassbender, who now thinks he’s Ozymandius... I like the fact that AI has gone off the rails,” said Scott. “If we go AI, the moment we discover it’s off the rails is too late. It could switch every digital thing off in the world like that. You’d have fucking chaos. It’s that kind of stuff that’s scary.” See more details here: deadline.com/2026/08/ridley-…
