Alien 5
Sounding less and less likely we’ll ever see the fifth “Alien” movie – the one that would nix the events of the previous two films and directly follow “Aliens” – and you can blame Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” movement. Asked for an update on his project on Twitter, writer-director Neil Blomkamp said the chances of the film ever going into production are “slim”.
The film, which would’ve reunited “Aliens” heroes Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn, was put on hold when Scott decided he wanted “Prometheus” sequel “Alien : Covenant” to come to fruition before the next ‘Ripley’-centric film did.
