VIDEO : Ridley Scott Says Neill Blomkamp's 'Alien' Project Is Dead

For those waiting patiently for updates on Neill Blomkamp's Alien movie, there's some good news and some bad news. Talking to French outlet Allocine, Alien: Covenant director Ridley Scott quite coldly revealed that the project was likely defunct when asked about its status. It didn?t evolve. Fox decided that they didn?t want to do it and that was it. After that initial flurry of activity, however, Blomkamp went silent on the subject, potentially reflecting Fox's own cooling on the matter.
