Alien<\/em><\/a><\/span> <\/em>is one of the most iconic sci-fi horror franchises of all time. But the director who started it all is not only done with the franchise, but is a bit disappointed in how its legacy turned out. In an interview with ScreenRant<\/em>, Ridley Scott<\/a><\/span> explained how he\u2019s done with the franchise, and reveals his true feelings about the franchise, beyond the films that he directed.<\/p>\n

Blasphemous 2 Developer Interview<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Scott laid the groundwork for what the\u00a0Alien<\/em> franchise became. The first film establishes its setting, the Nostromo spaceship, as a claustrophobic labyrinth that induces more terror than the Xenomorph hunting and killing its crew members, and the moment a tiny alien bursts through the chest of Kane (John Hurt) is burned into the memory of anyone who saw it. While Scott returned to direct the 2012 prequel film Prometheus <\/em>and 2017’s Alien Covenant, <\/em>he knows his time with the Alien <\/em>franchise is likely done. \u201cWhere it\u2019s going now, I think I\u2019ve done enough, and I just hope it goes further.\u201d<\/p>\n

His time with the franchise may be done, but he\u2019s still probably the most trusted authority on what does and doesn\u2019t work in Alien <\/em>films. To him, the series \u201cdeadened after 4,\u201d referring to 1997’s Alien: Resurrection <\/em>film. Part of the reason he thought there was nowhere else the franchise could go after the Jean-Pierre Jeunet-directed film is because he just didn\u2019t think the movies after his and James Cameron\u2019s films were that good.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think mine was pretty damn good, and I think Jim\u2019s was good, and I have to say the rest were not very good. And I thought, \u2018Fuck, that\u2019s the end of a franchise which should be as important as bloody Star Trek<\/em> or Star Wars<\/em>,\u2019 which I think is phenomenal.\u201d <\/p>\n

He did have very nice things to say about Noah Hawley\u2019s\u00a0Alien: Earth<\/em><\/a><\/span> TV series coming to FX starting August 12. As an executive producer on the show, Scott told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that he appreciated how Hawley definitely respected the original Alien<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n

As he made clear, there\u2019s much of the Alien <\/em>franchise Scott doesn\u2019t like, so him praising the upcoming series bodes well for the saga\u2019s upcoming earthbound chapter. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
