The Alien movies have long attracted some big-name — or soon-to-be big-name — directors to show off their chops. After sci-fi legend Ridley Scott established the story in Alien, a pre-Titanic James Cameron stepped in next for Aliens, followed by future iconic thriller director (and possible Squid Game remaker) David Fincher in Alien 3.
Now, it appears Alien’s current era will follow the same pattern of letting new directors continually take over rather than get bogged down in one person’s vision. Can the franchise find new success with an old formula?
