Fede Álvarez is directing a new sequel to Alien and Ridley Scott has seemingly given his notes on the movie and thinks it’s “f***ing great.” Speaking to fellow director Guillermo …

Of course he’s going to say that, but somehow this is the first I’ve heard that Fede Álvarez is directing an Alien movie. It’s hard to be optimistic about a new Alien announcement lately, but I’m hoping this gets a treatment similar to Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey. It’s also a Hulu release so we’ll see.

    what? You’re the one that said Fede’s films weren’t as successful as 10 Cloverfield Lane.

    I don’t think either have been a breakout hit in the way 10 Cloverfield Lane was

    I’m wholly agreed that you can have a subjective artistic opionion, but you described it as a breakout hit, which is what you say when a movie is financially successful. A “breakout” also assumes acceptance by the masses, or at least more than not, which is not at all what a subjective or artistic opinion would entail. I could maybe go with it if you said cult hit, but breakout means something else entirely.
