First Gladiator II Trailer to Debut in July Directed by Ridley Scott

Director Ridley Scott has revealed he "was never told or asked" about the original sequels to Alien but feels he "should have" returned for them. The acclaimed filmmaker directed the 1979 horror classic Alien, which spawned three sequels helmed by three different directors. Scott chalks this up to not having the option to make those sequels himself, as he claims nobody ever approached him about expanding the Alien franchise, or for that matter, Blade Runner, at the time.

Ridley Scott Says He 'Should Have' Directed Original Alien Sequels, but He Was 'Never Asked'

Since 1979, the Alien franchise has been a cornerstone of sci-fi horror, delivering unforgettable moments with its creeping dread and visceral body horror. Fede Alvarez, known for films like Evil Dead (2013) and Don’t Breathe (2016), is set to inject new life into this universe with Alien: Romulus. Slated for a 2024 release, the director’s involvement has piqued fans’ curiosity.

15 Movies With Plots That Make No Sense

John Krasinski’s blind-alien saga continues, this time with a prequel. A Quiet Place: Day One shows the first days of the invasion as the aliens attack New York City. The premise—aliens that attack without mercy when you make any kind of sound—was interesting in the first film, but started to wear a bit thin in the sequel. Those films were directed by Krasinski, but he’s stepped back into a producer role on this one, replaced in the director’s chair by Pig director Michael Sarnoski.

Netflix just added my favorite horror franchise ever — and it's already in the top 10

When a movie ends, it is essential that it close on a high note. Or at least, a note that corresponds with the film’s story, themes, and characters. There are some films, such as Rogue One or The Lone Ranger, that have middling beginnings or bad story beats but can be redeemed thanks to a great climax or ending moment. There are some films that just plain stink all the way through. And then there are those who showcase promising potential but are let down thanks to disappointing endings.

Science-fiction movies based on books are nothing new to the world of cinema. Take recent successes like the Dune franchise, for example, which has garnered a huge following and multiple awards. However, not all of these adaptations get their chance to take the spotlight at the level that Dune has. Sometimes, this is for good reason, mainly because the movies aren't very good. But sometimes, this is completely undeserved, and while the movies are very good, they don't always get their deserved accolades.

10 Underrated Sci-Fi Movies Based on Books

The Hellboy franchise has always been interesting — and bumpy. The 1993 comics by Mike Mignola subverted the superhero genre in a fresh way — but the creator of Hellboy hasn’t been a fan of the adaptations that have followed. Director Guillermo del Toro, alongside Ron Perlman as the paranormal investigator, brought Hellboy into the mainstream, effectively kickstarting the off-kilter superhero craze of the 2000s. But del Toro was somewhat disinterested in making his adaptation totally faithful — and the less said about its 2019 reboot starring David Harbour, the better. Mignola has been vocal since about the lack of control he’s had with the films, so it makes sense that his latest effort is designed to remedy that.

They don’t make ‘em like they used to. In an era long ago, horror movies relied upon mood, environment, and practical effects to get their diabolical points across. Sadly, those days are over, and most of what gets released in the “horror” genre are CGI-heavy sequels and reboots that are frankly just not scary.
