Alien-franchisen har hatt en noe turbulent reise, fra de første (og beste) tre filmene, til de nyeste prequel-filmene Prometheus og Alien: Covenant. Det virker ikke som turbulensen kommer til å gi seg med det første da Ridley Scott har kommet med noen uttalelser om eventuelle fremtidige filmer som har vekket litt oppmerksomhet blant fansen.
I et intervju med Entertainment Weekly sa Scott følgende om Alien-franchisen:
"We are [going to make another], we are. I think what we have to do is gradually drift away from the alien stuff."
"People say, 'You need more alien, you need more face pulling, need more chest bursting,' so I put a lot of that in Covenant and it fitted nicely. But I think if you go again you need to start finding another solution that's more interesting. I think AI is becoming much more dangerous and therefore more interesting."
"Fassbender was an AI," sa han. "Ian Holm [from Alien] was an AI; Roy Batty [from Blade Runner] was an AI; so was Rachael [from Blade Runner].
Han fortsatt med å snakke om Facebook-eksperimentet hvor de "put two AIs together and they were communing. It already invented a f****** language! And they couldn't decipher what the language was so they had to switch them off. What was said and where's it gone? They could have already implemented something we don't know."
Er du enig i det Ridley sier, eller vil du ha mer av det som gjorde de originale filmene så bra?
