Fede Alvarez to Direct New “Alien” Film, Ridley Scott to Produce

By Mary Anne Butler Last updated Mar 4, 2022

This just in-

sounds like a new “Alien” film is in the works, with Fede Alvarez in the hot seat. The “Don’t Breathe” helmer will reportedly direct for 20th Century Studios, which intends the film for Hulu’s “10 feature films a year” pitch.

Original “Alien” director Ridley Scott will produce.

20th Century Studios President of Production Steve Asbell says this project was picked “purely off the strength of Fede’s pitch. It was just a really good story with a bunch of characters you haven’t seen before.”

We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

Mary Anne Butler

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.

Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.

Though she be but little, she is fierce.
