“We are [going to make another], we are," Scott told EW from the set of All the Money in the World. “I think what we have to do is gradually drift away from the alien stuff." Say what? Scott’s Alien: Covenant, which came out earlier this year, felt like a return to some legit old-school scares but failed to set the domestic box office ablaze (though, combined with international sales, it ended with north of $240 million in ticket revenue). “People say, You need more alien, you need more face pulling, need more chest bursting,’ so I put a lot of that in Covenant and it fitted nicely. But I think if you go again you need to start finding another solution that’s more interesting. I think AI is becoming much more dangerous and therefore more interesting."

So, the grand lesson that Ridley Scott learned from Alien Covenant was that the world needed more Fassbender-bots?

I’m a huge fan of the Alien franchise and a full-on Prometheus apologist (and I really liked Katherine Waterston as pseudo-Ripley), but I feel like Ridley has learned the wrong lesson here.
