## Key points

- Aaron Guzikowski will write a new Alien film.
- Ridley Scott is producing, but not directing.
- The story is linked to Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.

## Summary

Aaron Guzikowski has been hired to write a new, still-secret Alien film for 20th Century Studios, with Ridley Scott producing. The project adds a new strand to the franchise and is linked to Scott’s Prometheus and Alien: Covenant films, rather than to 2024’s Alien: Romulus.

Scott is not directing, no director is attached, and Michael Fassbender has not joined the project. Sources say the story’s connection to the earlier films is the amoral android Fassbender played. Guzikowski previously wrote Prisoners and created Raised by Wolves, which Scott executive produced and partly directed.
