TheWrap reports that Aaron Guzikowski is writing a new Alien project with Ridley Scott producing. Early development does not establish a filming date, final cast or theatrical release.
A new Alien feature is in early development at 20th Century Studios, with Aaron Guzikowski writing and Ridley Scott attached as a producer, TheWrap reported on October 23. The outlet identifies Michael Pruss as another producer through Scott Free and says no director is attached. Guzikowski and Scott previously collaborated on the television series Raised by Wolves.
TheWrap attributes to The Hollywood Reporter, which first reported the project, a connection to Scott’s Prometheus and Alien: Covenant films. The detailed plot remains undisclosed in the reviewed reporting. The distinction between Scott producing and Scott directing is especially relevant, the report supports the first role and does not confirm the second.
For audiences, a writer joining a project is a development step rather than proof that photography has begun or a release date has been booked. This update therefore supplies no unverified cast list, production start or cinema date. It replaces a broad earlier brief with the named project participants and the limits of what the sources establish. The portrait of Scott was taken in 2012 and is not a photograph from the new production.
