So, apparently Ridley Scott said that the next film will be called Alien Awakening and it will be a prequel to Covenant. Blomkamp's alien film was supposed to be called Awakening..and now this is called Awakening.
I'm confused on what new storyline he can put in between Prometheus and Covenant that will be interesting. Especially since we get the first reborn Xenomorph in Covenant. There is a Xenomorph species out there, if you watch Prometheus it's a mural on the wall, so maybe it will focus on the Xenomorphs in some way? I don't know what Scott is thinking. It went from an alien monster movie franchise to now discussing creation and god. This is getting a little too complicated for my taste, but of course I'll try to keep an open mind.
http://variety.com/2017/film/news/al...tt-1202011249/In an interview with Fandango, it would appear as though the filmmaker accidentally revealed the title of the next installment in the “Alien” universe, slipping the name “Alien: Awakening” into a chronological list of the “Alien” prequel movies.
“There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the rear back head of [the original] ‘Alien,'” Scott said, making sense of where in the “Alien” world the films are placed. “It will go ‘Prometheus,’ ‘Awakening,’ ‘Covenant’ … fairly integral where this colonization ship is on the way.”
Whether or not Scott merely had a slight brain lapse remains to be seen, but in all likelihood, the title of the next “Alien” movie has just been annouced. Fox didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
If this is indeed the case, and “Alien: Awakening” will be set between the events of “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” then fans could be in for some brain melts while figuring out how to describe the film, as it would be a sequel to “Prometheus,” but also a prequel to “Covenant,” which were both themselves prequels to the original “Alien” series.
