Ridley Scott, the director who launched the iconic Alien franchise, expresses his disappointment with its legacy, stating he feels his contributions have been overshadowed. He conveyed to ScreenRant that he believed the franchise 'deadened after 4,' criticizing the quality of films following his and James Cameron's work. Despite moving on, he remains optimistic about new directions, particularly praising Noah Hawley's upcoming TV series for his respect toward the original concept. Scott concludes that he hopes the franchise can evolve beyond its past failures.
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, 'Fuck, that's the end of a franchise which should be as important as bloody Star Trek or Star Wars.'
Where it's going now, I think I've done enough, and I just hope it goes further.
