Regisseur Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator)zei onlangs in een interview dat het niet volledig onmogelijk is dat er nog eens een vervolg in de Alien-reeks komt.

[eng]What of the rumor of another Alien movie?
We have been talking about doing another one for years. It's been a complex situation. At the end of the day, a studio has to be pleased, a core audience has to be pleased, and a director has to agree to all that. I am glad to say things are progressing...

With you as Director?
I don't think I'll be directing, but I will have some involvement. It'll probably be based on an idea I have, so I hope I'm asked to be involved.[/eng]
