The Academy Award honoree 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.

Alien was the first big foray into sci-fi horror, inspiring an entire genre to walk in its footsteps.

While Scott has directed plenty of iconic sci-fi movies over the years, like Blade Runner and The Martian, it’s his work on the Alien franchise that has stood the test of time as the most important of his career.

Both of Ridley Scott's foundational sci-fi franchises feel like they have a spiritual kinship, but one Hulu show brings them closer than ever before.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 expands on its predecessor with four-player co-op and a larger Xenomorph bestiary, but struggles to capture the original Alien franchise's horror essence.
