Ridley Scott says Alien 5 is dead
That Neill Blomkamp Alien movie everyone got so worked up over a couple of years ago probably won’t become a reality. ComingSoon picked up an interview Ridley Scott did French publication AlloCiné in which the Alien: Covenant director explained why Blomkamp’s project is just a pipe dream at this point. “There was never a script,” he said. “It was an idea that evolved from, I believe, a 10-page pitch, and I was meant to be part of the producers on that. It didn’t evolve. Fox decided that they didn’t want to do it and that was it. I’d already done Prometheus and I was planning Covenant so I dunno.” As for whether it will come to fruition, Scott doesn’t seem too convinced that’s a likely scenario: “I don’t think so, no.”
