According to reports by Hollywood Reporter, Uruguayan director and screenwriter Fede Alvarez (The House - remake, Man in the Dark) will direct the new Alien, a film to be produced by Ridley Scott (Alien - 1979, Blade Runner, Legend) through his Scott Free.
The U.S. magazine also reports that Alien will come streaming (Hulu and Disney Plus) and will not be a prequel or sequel connected to the other chapters of the famous fantasy-horror saga because it is not narratively connected to them.
Currently, no details about the story have been revealed.
Hollywood Reporter further added that Fede Alvarez is an avid fan of the Alien and reportedly submitted his story to Ridley Scott, the creator of the successful xenomorph saga, as early as a year ago.
We also recall that the franchise Alien will also continue with the already announced TV series developed by Noah Hawley for FX.
