MemberNeomorphJune 26, 2017Ridley Scott himself admitted it in an interview with IGN: George Lucas' origin story trilogy and sequels were the model for his own Alien prequels. And he doesn't dismiss the idea of a cross over with Blade Runner “I think that, you know what, George has always proved that. Of course there’s always something. George Lucas, you know, and the way he’s handled Star Wars has been spectacular. It’s what I’ve been trying to do to really evolve Alien, because in those days I wasn’t into making sequels, but now suddenly you realize, ‘Well, that’s stupid.’ I’ll use the word ‘duh’ again, right? You’d better get into sequels, duh. So that’s in a way what I’ve been doing.Scott was also asked about the possibility of Alien and Blade Runner existing in the same universe, responding that: “Well, I think if Alien is in the air, Blade Runner is on Earth. And probably is a very good reason why you wanna leave Earth.” Do you think Ridley Scott has any artistic aspirations for these new projects or is he just after the money? Can anything good come out of a Alien/Blade Runner combo?
