When we last saw the Alien saga on the big screen, it wasn’t doing so hot in Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant with Michael Fassbender and Katherine Waterston. But today Scott reveals that he still thinks there’s a lot of mileage left in the series.
He tells the LA Times: “I still think there’s a lot of mileage in ‘Alien,’ but I think you’ll have to now re-evolve. What I always thought when I was making it, the first one, why would a creature like this be made and why was it traveling in what I always thought was a kind of war-craft, which was carrying a cargo of these eggs.“

Alien takes place in deep space and follows the crew of the starship Nostromo who is awakened from cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.
