Alien Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

If you’re a massive fan of the “Alien” franchise (as I am), then you know there is a huge debate over which film is the “best” of the bunch. Some will say it’s Ripley Scott’s original “Alien.” Others will say it’s Paul W.S.

Noah Hawley is easily one of the most sought-after filmmakers in Hollywood. Thanks to four seasons of solid TV with “Fargo,” there are tons of people anxiously awaiting whatever he has next on the schedule.

Horror films, like most art, can’t really be ranked in any sort of subject way to test how “good” they are. Dubbing a film a “good” movie is so beholden to personal taste and other outside factors, it would be almost foolish to say that any sort of film ranking system is fundamentally objective.

Katherine Waterston has quietly developed one of the most diverse resumes of any actress in her generation. She is equally at home in an intimate feature such as the upcoming “The World to Come,” which premiered at Venice, as she is in a blockbuster like “Alien: Covenant” or “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” And she’s currently co-starring in the acclaimed HBO series “The Third Day,” in which she plays the mysterious Jess, a visitor to the ominous Osea Island.

Noah Hawley is one of the most interesting and respected filmmakers working today. Sure, he didn’t have the best of luck with his debut feature, “Lucy in the Sky,” but his work on TV is pretty much second-to-none, as “Fargo” continues to impress.

It appears Sir Ridley Scott is almost as deadset on making more “Alien” films as James Cameron is in his “Avatar” sequels. No matter how negative or lukewarm the response to the prequel/reboot “Prometheus” and its sequel, “Alien: Covenant,” Scott is reportedly still developing a new film in the franchise, but it looks like it will be different from what fans would expect.

The last time we saw Kim Woo-bin on-screen was the popular 2016 K-drama, Uncontrollably Fond, which also starred Bae Suzy. In 2017, Woo-bin was unfortunately diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal cancer which had his career in a hiatus mode for almost four years.

The ‘Alien’ franchise is at a crossroads, yet again. Every so often, the sci-fi franchise has to figure out the proper way to move forward.

No matter how many fans and critics openly ask for him to stop, it appears that Ridley Scott is still deadset on making more ‘Alien’ films. And even though his previous entry in the franchise, “Alien: Covenant,” aimed to tie together the previous films with his new prequel story started in “Prometheus,” the film failed to live up to the hype, with many thinking the sci-fi horror series was officially dead.

“Alien” is a film full of influential and iconic moments. Whether it’s the simple premise that has been copied time after time, the strong female action star at the center, the way the Xenomorph is designed, or any number of moments, “Alien” has stood the test of time to constantly be brought up as one of the greatest films of all time.
