Ridley Scott’s already written another Alien movie, could keep this up for years
In the 15 years between Alien movies, the world kept turning, but with decidedly less xenomorph blood. Director Ridley Scott took his time bringing us Prometheus, and then let another five years go by before bringing forth Alien: Covenant. But he’s never going to make fans wait for another Alien movie again. As Scott tells the Sydney Morning Herald, he’s poised to capitalize the success of Covenant, not if but when the movie wins audiences over: “You’ve got to assume to a certain extent success and from that you’d better be ready. You don’t want a two-year gap. So I’ll be ready to go again next year.”
