Scott Says Alien 5 Is DOA

It looks like we’re not going to get that Alien 5/Alien 3 V2 sequel.  If it was half confirmed before, perhaps this is full confirmation.

Out promoting Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott was asked by French outlet Allocine about Alien 5.

“Ridley Scott, who was in Paris for the promotion of the new opus of the saga, was even more definitive in our microphone: “I think he will never see the light,” he replied after explaining That the project was far less advanced than previously thought. “There was never a scenario, just an idea that evolved into a pitch of ten pages, I had to participate as a producer but it did not go any further because the Fox decided that She did not want to do it. I had already done Prometheus and worked on Covenant.” (Translated from French)

If this is indeed true, then that’s a damn pity. I think many people would’ve preferred to see the return of the Colonial Marines.
