I want Denis Villeneuve to direct an Alien movie

I totally agree. I love all his movies, especially DUNE, Blade Runner and Arrival. His visual is magnificent. If he directs ALIEN one day that will be so interesting because O'Bannon & HR Giger were supposed to be involved in the production of ''Jodorowsky's Dune'' but the movie ended up cancelled. For that reason the ideas of ALIEN came along. If Denis Villeneuve directs a sequel that will be like coming to a full circle. 

I love sci-fi obviously but ironically I wasn't as captivated by Blade Runner 2049 and Dune as I was with his earlier works such as Prisoners and Sicario, which are some of the most tense films I've seen in recent memory. Denis really knows how to set a mood, build tension and create eerieness down to the slightest detail, and with that in mind coupled with the fact that he's a phenomenal director overall, I'd really like to see his take on an Alien film, in true Denis cinematographic flair if you will. 

I love Blade runner 2049, Dune part 1 and 2, and can't wait for Messiah. I'd love to see his take on the Alien, especially the Engineer lore.

Casually drops magnificent fan artwork – bless you, Nebula 🙏

But yeah, I think he would do Alien justice, especially if it was focused on prequel lore / Engineer storylines. One can only hope that one day it becomes a possibility!
