According to
Omega Underground, they’ve heard from multiple sources that
a series set within the “Alien universe” was being considered behind the scenes. The reporter says they were able to “reaffirm the rumbling” with another source located in another country that was able to support some of the basic info, with a third source more recently also doubling down.
AvP Galaxy, a great source for all things
Alien and
Predator, interjected with some additional information. While they confirm “discussions of something being in the early days of development over at Fox,”
they stress to “not to get too hung up over words like show or series.” They speculate that this isn’t going to be presented like a traditional series, adding that it’s unlikely to be seen on television, with an online release seemingly to be the more likely option at this time.
This is interestingly all timed to the first film’s 40th anniversary – and a recently launched contest in which Fox is
asking fans to create their own “Alien Universe short film”. In early 2019, six videos will be selected as winners… could this be the lead up to something
massive? You have to wonder if Fox makes some sort of announcement at this month’s San Diego Comic-Con?
