Scott is now returning to the Alien franchise with the long in development Alien: Covenant, which in more than one way looks to capture the spirit of the original horror sci-fi flick.
Scott is looking to stay with the Alien franchise as long as he can, but that doesn’t mean he can’t afford a break for Gladiator 2.
Ridley Scott didn’t exactly deliver the best work of his career after Gladiator, but he started to make a comeback with the Alien prequel Prometheus.
That’s a divisive film if there ever was one, but his Oscar-nominated The Martian was much more universally pleasing.
