Ridley Scott Drops ‘Alien: Covenant’ Sequel Update, Regrets Losing ‘Blade Runner’ Rights

Still happening, Ridley Scott says, and with Michael Fassbender’s David at the center.

In an interview with The L.A. Times , The Dog Stars filmmaker said the film “will pick up with David (Fassbender) creating a ‘brave new world for himself.'” Scott added that he’s fascinated by the homicidal android character, noting, “AIs can go off. And if they do, it’s like a bomb.”
