Ridley Scottdirector of extraordinary films such as ‘Alien‘ (1979), ‘Blade Runner‘ (1982) y ‘Gladiator‘ (2000) revealed that he felt quite sorry for directing ‘Alien Covenant‘, the sequel to Prometheus, as an attempt to expand the Xenomorph franchise and connect to the original film. A plan that, despite the good numbers at the box office, ended up being rejected by fans of the character.
Scott has even said that he should have picked Blade Runner 2049 as his next project, instead of Alien Covenant. «I shouldn’t have made that decision.» says the veteran director. The sequel to Blade Runner fell into the hands of Denis Villeneuvetoday acclaimed for ‘Dune‘ and movies like ‘The arrival‘ (2016). The commercial failure of the film did not prevent Blade Runner from continuing to expand to other media such as comics and even an anime that was located in a different period.
