Ridley Scott Says that he wanna make Six more movies...I am Afraid

I have the feeling that this thread will be very-very long and hot if Ingeniero and S.M start to investigate the Blade Runner-Alien Mystery in a more profound way. :D :D :D

"Six more movies and possible annual?!?! i see the future of Star Wars on the hands of dysney and i am AFRAID!!" - Bruno

I share your fear dude! Just do what I do and go see the film for what it is. There is absolutely no reason why you should consider it a part of your own personal canon if you don't think it stands up.

I for one only consider ALIEN (directors cut) as canon and after seeing the newest trailer I don't think that will change. I will just go see it for what it is (A FILM) 

The ONLY person who could have delivered an ALIEN prequel/sequel worth my consideration has canon (Hans Rudi Giger) is sadly gone!!!

Ridley can make 50 more if he wants

"Not too much Lone on the Blade Runner link. This link actually came from Ridley Scott in the 2012 Prometheus app."

No, it was written by Charles de Lauzirika who said it was a joke.  People have unfortunately been getting sucked in by that particular myth ever since the Prometheus blu-rays came out.

Indeed it was merely a Easter Egg Joke... it does not mean it wont be taken and put as Canon though, but until the Weyland-Yutani Viral Campaign for AC or its sequels also touch upon such a connection we have to consider it just a Easter Egg

As far as the RULE BOOK goes...

I think Ridley Scott wanted some creative input in the Franchise and its future a kind of insurance policy should for any reason  future movies are made when Ridley can not take part in them as he is getting OLD...  so that their is a Guide Book with collaboration between Ridley and FOX so that at least Ridleys and FOX's ideas for all things Xeno and Engineer will have to be taken into consideration in all Future Alien related movies.

"Indeed it was merely a Easter Egg Joke... it does not mean it wont be taken and put as Canon though, but until the Weyland-Yutani Viral Campaign for AC or its sequels also touch upon such a connection we have to consider it just a Easter Egg"

Things could indeed change with both a new Alien and Blade Runner film about to drop, but yeah as it stands - there's no actual connection.

I also think they should do a movie that explains what happened to Earth, even though we get some clues in the Alternative ending from "Alien: Resurrection" . A major spin-off to Prometheus would also be nice that would explain some plot holes to cool off some of the hatred that Alien fans carry around with them.

We don't really need to know what happened to Earth.  For all we know, nothing happened.

S.M and BigDave are correct and I'm late to the buzzkill party.

@Fire stream21; Why do we have to know what happened or what's going on with Earth?

Probably the only good thing about ALIENS was that it didn't show Earth or what state it was in.

The ALIEN story is an outer-space story.

I have what can only be explained as a love/dislike relationship with Ridley. I love the guy for his genius as a visionary and artistic expression. He directed my favourite film (ALIEN) and my second favourite (Bladerunner.)

He's also directed another three of my top 20 films i.e. Gladiator, Black Rain and The Martian. 

So why do I dislike the ALIEN prequels so much?

Head scratcher this one! 

guys put in 'replicant' into the MUTHER computer Here it's different from before. Then put in 'tyrell corporation' this is proof that they are in the same universe.
