It'll make as much sense as Prometheus of course.

What the hell...
Also, should Prometheus be retroactively renamed Alien: Prometheus?

There should be more tampons in gaming
The dude is totally fucking up. Ok, I want to know who created the xenomorphs (I guess that's already been spoiled), why (considering who creates xenomorphs, I suppose that's easy to figure out too) but I think the biggest question is how have they been able to proliferate across the universe. Some outside entity has to be spreading them across the universe...maybe the Yautja? I liked the idea that Humans and subsequently Xenomorphs were created by Engineers to combat the Yautja in an ongoing war between the species.
I think if he wanted to do something unique, I'd do a movie based on the Alien: Defiance comic, it's super good. It is the best piece of alien material in the expanded universe in my opinion. It's bits Alien and Aliens, telling a unique story with prominent female and minority characters.

It can be handled better than in the AVP films. It would be a sensible reason as to why Engineers had created humans and xenomorphs, as a potential slave force, fighting force and host. We don't have to actually see the conflict but maybe the results of it. But from what I understand
some higher entity created Engineers and Humans

In terms of film quality (acting, directing, cinematography), they're not.
In terms of bullshit plotholes, ass-pulls, retcons, answering questions that should remain a mystery, and general buttraping of continuity, its already far worse than anything Lucas ever shat out.

Lol a Prequel to the sequel of the prequel.
Funny but if it's good then great.

Ridley Scott is not going to do this, or allow this to be done, anymore.

Alien: The Pre-se-prequel
I would like to think that Ridley has a plan for this new series but I very much doubt that. It's just going to be a convoluted mess by the end but hey, at least it'd look nice.

prequel: Thelma and Louise - the high school diaries.
Until Ridley makes newer, shittier, revisionist edits of Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3, I don't think we can compare him to Lucas...yet. Labeling him the new Peter Jackson might be more apropos.
It's also possible Alien: Covenant (and Awakening) could actually be good. Sure, it's a long shot, but there's still a chance.

Does he have sole creative authority over the franchise? It's not like his recent ideas are all that great in terms story or execution.
Got to watch them all. Genius.
prometheus was worse then any of the prequel movies.

Lol, pretty much.
It's such a mess When you look at all of the movies.
Still surprised they haven't tried to reboot it like they did predator.

I'm really hoping they at least try to expand the mythos.
I mean there's tons of Giger artwork out there to draw inspiration from. We could
have a hold thread on his stuff for crying out loud. It's time these designs made it into film.

Order of aliens films goes like this
11, 3, 5, 9, 2, 10, 1
The rest didn't get produced

Hasn't that been Scott's plan for every film since Prometheus already?

For right now, yeah.
Expecting Ridley Scott to put Predators in his ALIEN movies is not going to be rewarded.

Of course, and I'm sure the next film will be a midquel set between the events of the previous film. Sure!
Why not wait and see how Covenant is received, before making such plans, Scott? Ridiculous, I know.

There is no way this whole thing doesn't end with David being the Space Jockey they find on LV-426.

So wait
is he just making the original Prometheus sequel he was talking about for years before it suddenly turned into an Alien film due to Alien 5 talk?
Why. There HAVE to be other ways to tell that story, whatever it is.

Yay. I'm very excited for the sequel to the pre-boot.
This and Terminator haven't had a genuinely good movie in over 25 years. I guess they'll just keep fucking that chicken until they stumble ass backwards into a halfway decent blockbuster again.

Maybe towards the latter end of the series we can get a marvel crossover where the aliens have to fight spider man.
Covenant adresses all loose ends from Prometheus and features David, Engineers etc.

Maybe not as far as technical film making, but as far as fucking with the franchise established universe? It's even worse.
It'll actually be a crossover with Fast and Furious. The Rock and Vin Diesel fighting aliens, in their cars, while in space, for the family. It will be called Two Brothers.
Fun fact: movies haven't just recently been planned in advance
