Fox Co-chairman Tom Rothman talked with IESB at the “Wolverine” premiere in Tempe, Arizona and hinted that something may be in the works to return “Alien” back to it’s creator Ridley Scott and get the series back on track.

“Ridley Scott, Ridley is right now working on Robin Hood, but I think he’s toying with the idea and that would be great for us. I mean, it’s always been a matter of, really, if you can get the originator to do it that would be the greatest thing, so I’ve got my fingers crossed, all of them.“

This series needs a reboot more than just about anything. An Alien movie cast in the mould of the original or the sequel would be a license to print money. Thanks BloodyDisgusting.
