Ridley Scott’s reasons for not directing more Alien movies
Despite the success of the most recent film, Alien: Romulus (Directed by Fede Álvarez) last year, Scott’s original film and Cameron’s sequel are considered the culminating points of the franchise. In an interview with Screen Rant, the director echoed these opinions.
“I think it seemed to me that he had turned off after the fourth,” he said, referring to Alien Resurrection From 1997. “I think mine was quite good, and Jim’s too, and I must say that the others were not very good. And I thought: ‘Fuck, this is the end of a franchise that should be as important as Star Trek or Star Wars'”.
Remembering the original film, he revealed: “I was the fifth option, damn it. Why did Robert Altman Alien offer him? Only God knows it, “he said.” Altman said: ‘Really? I’m not going to do this ‘, and I replied:’ Really? I have to do it ‘, because heavy metal touches. “
He continues: “So that’s where I went, and then (the franchise) died. A few years later, I said: ‘I’m going to resurrect this,’ I wrote Prometheus from scratch, from a blank sheet. Damon Lindelof and I sat down and work thoroughly in Prometheus.”
From his last films, he commented: “He was very present and was very well received. The public wanted more. I said: ‘He has to succeed.’ Nobody loved her, so I made Alien again: Covenant, and also worked. Where is it now, I think I’ve done enough, and I just hope I go further“
