When it was announced that Neill Blomkamp, director of the fantastic District 9, was thinking about helming an Alien sequel, people were cautiously optimistic.
Alien: Covenant, while it won’t star Weaver and is more of a Prometheus sequel itself, is scheduled to hit theaters May 19.
It’s true, even if you’re upset about this prospect probably not coming to fruition, we still have a new Alien movie to look forward to, courtesy of Ridley Scott himself.
But, alas, his take on Alien is probably not to be, as the director himself says the chances of him joining the franchise are “Slim.”
