Of course, following the mega-success of 1979's seminal Alien, the franchise grew with three follow-up films and two Alien vs. Predator prequels. It turns out that rather than passing on the opportunity to direct Aliens, Scott was passed up – and not pleased. "I was really pissed off, frankly," he says about not getting a shot at the action-packed 1986 film that helped to propel James Cameron's career.
