There's a new Alien trilogy on the way

Director Ridley Scott just can't keep his mouth shut these days.

The filmmaker has been flapping his yap about everything from Blade Runner to his upcoming Alien prequel in recent weeks, and he isn't about to stop. He was in Australia for some chats ahead of the start of shooting on Alien Covenant and dropped the fact that it's the first of a new trilogy.

"There’ll be another one and then another one. They'll gradually drive into the back entrance of the 1979 film."
