Alien: Ridley Scott Addresses if He'll Ever Make Another Sequel
Ridley Scott is opening up about whether or not he'll ever do another movie. Scott directed Alien in 1979. While that was followed by a handful of sequels, Scott didn't direct another entry in the franchise until 2012's Prometheus, which was then followed by 2017's Alien: Covenant. He also served as a producer on the most recent Alien film, 2024's Alien: Romulus, and as an executive producer on the forthcoming Alien: Earth television show. Speaking with ScreenRant, Scott discussed the history of the franchise and if he might be involved with any other related projects further down the line. 'I think I felt [the franchise] was deadened after 4,' Scott said. 'I think mine was pretty damn good, and I think Jim's was good, and I have to say the rest were not very good. And I thought, 'F—, that's the end of a franchise which should be as important as bloody Star Trek or Star Wars,' which I think is phenomenal. At least, I think the first one by George is seminal – it was as seminal as 2001. To me, it was that important in terms of film language and where you go next. From George's [Star Wars], I was then offered, almost a year after, Alien. '…A number of years after, I said, 'I'm going to resurrect this,' [and wrote] Prometheus from scratch–a blank sheet of paper. Damon Lindelof and I sat then hammered out Prometheus. It was very present and very welcome. The audience really wanted more. I said, 'It needs to fly.' No one was coming for it, [and] I went once again [and made] Alien Covenant, and it worked too.' Scott added, 'Where it's going now, I think I've done enough, and I just hope it goes further.' In addition to Alien: Earth, a direct sequel to Alien: Romulus is also in development, though details regarding that project remain under wraps at this time. Scott's next film, meanwhile, will be The Dog Stars with Jacob Elordi, which releases in March 2026.

Box Office: Michael B. Jordan's Sinners soars past USD 350M globally, on track to surpass Hannibal as one of the highest-grossing horror films of all time
Michael B. Jordan's gothic musical horror Sinners continues its phenomenal box office run, officially crossing the USD 350 million global mark and setting its sights on dethroning Hannibal soon. The latter film peaked at USD 351.7 million and currently stands as the 12th highest-grossing horror film of all time. Sinners collected USD 83 million from international markets after seven weekends, lifting its global earnings to USD 351.1 million. The Ryan Coogler- directed period horror film has also made a substantial domestic impact, amassing USD 267.1 million in the US alone. With a production budget of USD 90 million excluding marketing, Sinners is not only a critical darling but also a commercial one, with eyes set on a final worldwide total in the range of USD 370-400 million. By Tuesday, Sinners is projected to surpass both Alien: Romulus (USD 350.9M) and Hannibal, officially cementing its place as the 12th highest-grossing horror film in history. It will also become the second-highest-grossing horror release in the post-COVID era globally, trailing only behind Scream VI. Set in the 1932 Mississippi Delta, Sinners stars Jordan in a dual role as criminal twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return to their hometown seeking a new start in life, only to be confronted by a sinister supernatural force. The film features a strong ensemble cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Delroy Lindo, and newcomer Miles Caton. Coogler, known for Black Panther and Creed, began developing Sinners through his production company Proximity Media in early 2024. Following a competitive bidding war, Warner Bros. Pictures secured the distribution rights. Principal photography took place between April and July 2024, with longtime Coogler collaborator Ludwig Göransson handling the musical aspect of the film with his haunting score. Göransson also acted as an executive producer. Sinners debuted theatrically across the globe on April 18 and has since become one of this year's standout entertainment pieces. Its critical acclaim, period setting, and genre-blending appeal have helped it transcend horror audiences and become a behemoth success. With momentum still on its side despite its impending June 3 digital debut, Sinners is poised to continue making record books for modern horror cinema.

Box Office: Monday actuals boost Final Destination Bloodlines to USD 105M globally
If one thought USD 102 million global opening for Final Destination: Bloodlines was its peak, let us inform you that the Monday actuals figure has pushed that total past USD 105 million, meaning 3 million more than its already extravagant debut frame revenue. The sixth installment in the long-running horror franchise has delivered the best-ever launch for a Final Destination film and is now the second-biggest horror opening worldwide post-COVID, only behind Alien: Romulus. The film's USD 3 million uptick from weekend projections overseas took its international total to a record-breaking USD 54.1 million across 71 markets. This surpasses Five Nights at Freddy's (USD 52.8M) and places it squarely beneath the aforementioned movie's USD 61.8 million in the post-pandemic horror hierarchy. Coupled with its impressive USD 51.7 million domestic debut in the United States, Final Destination: Bloodlines scored a global launch that sets a new bar for the franchise and the horror genre alike. The supernatural thriller, directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana as a college student who inherits visions of a 1968 premonition from her dying grandmother, warning that death is now chasing her bloodline. The film features Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger, and franchise mainstay Tony Todd in supporting roles. Originally conceived as a reimagining after the success of Final Destination 5 (2011), the film evolved into the continuation of the franchise. The creative team included Guy Busick, Lori Evans Taylor, and Jon Watts, who experimented with the storyline by merging the franchise's mythology with a new narrative anchored in generational trauma. After initially being slated for a streaming release on HBO Max, the film was shifted to a theatrical rollout by Warner Bros. in March 2024. Production wrapped in Vancouver after delays caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike, and Bloodlines was finally released in the States on May 16, 2025. The film has earned critical praise in abundance, becoming the best-reviewed title in the franchise and breathing new life into the series. With this strong showing, Final Destination: Bloodlines is on track to surpass the global lifetime gross of every previous film in the series by Friday.
