Ridley Scott Confirms He’s Working on a New Alien Film

As a seasoned gamer with decades of immersion in the ever-evolving world of cinematic experiences, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for Ridley Scott. His unwavering commitment to storytelling excellence, his knack for picking projects that resonate deeply, and his adaptability to the changing landscape of media platforms are nothing short of inspiring.


Renowned filmmaker Ridley Scott, best known for movies like ‘Blade Runner’ and ‘Gladiator,’ has shared plans to create a fresh installment in the ‘Alien’ movie series.

In his 86 years, Scott remains a significant force in shaping the world of cinema through his discerning, concise method when choosing film projects.

He advises filmmakers to pitch their ideas concisely: ‘Narrow it down to something very simple and brief — tell me the film in two sentences,’ he insists, emphasizing that the core of a movie pitch should ignite an immediate spark.

Over the summer, Scott Free, Scott’s production company, experienced considerable achievement with ‘Alien: Romulus,’ an unexpected blockbuster earning approximately $350 million globally.

The resurgence of success with Scott’s branded titles has sparked renewed curiosity, resulting in fresh initiatives such as the ‘Alien: Earth’ show on FX and the ‘Blade Runner: 2099’ series on Amazon.

Regardless of his packed timetable, Scott keeps a relaxed perspective on the constantly changing venues for narrative expression.

He values keeping his creative visions alive, regardless of the medium. ‘I’ve created the pace visually for a while,’ Scott remarks, showing no preference for film over television, as long as the project maintains its integrity.

20th Century Studios and Scott Free, formerly linked through a studio partnership that concluded in 2009, have recently reestablished their first-look agreement. In simpler terms, Scott Free, which gained independence after the end of its last partnership, has renewed an arrangement with 20th Century Studios where they will be given the first opportunity to review and potentially produce any new projects that 20th Century presents.

This agreement underscores the company’s dedication to making creative endeavors top priority, similar to prioritizing a child’s well-being.

Clearly, Scott voiced his disappointment about not having shares in the ‘Alien’ and ‘Blade Runner’ series, which he believes is due to previous management errors. However, he remains committed to ensuring that Scott Free Productions stays connected with these legendary franchises.

The director is equally excited about his upcoming ventures. Specifically, he’s planning a biographical film focusing on the Bee Gees, which will reportedly start production next year with Paramount. Simultaneously, his much-awaited sequel to ‘Gladiator,’ titled ‘Gladiator II,’ is scheduled for release on November 22. According to him, it’s going to be ‘the finest work I’ve ever produced.’

Scott’s approach to filmmaking and production is simple yet calculated: ‘Every move is a bet on the color black.’ He trusts his instincts and research, but also recognizes the unforeseen twists that are inherent in this unpredictable field.
