Much is riding on the success, or failure, of Alien vs. Predator. Fox Studios is hoping to use AvP as a springboard to further individual Alien and Predator films, provided that interested in both series is rekindled. So, what's Ridley Scott's take on all this? After widely panning the prospect of an Alien vs Predator showdown with Signourney Weaver, Scott admits that the prospect of his involvement on Alien 5 is highly contingent upon the success of AvP.

"FW: And what of the rumor of another Alien movie?
RS : We have been talking about doing another one for years. It's been a complex situation. At the end of the day, a studio has to be pleased, a core audience has to be pleased, and a director has to agree to all that. I am glad to say things are progressing...

FW : Can you talk about the idea?
RS : In broad terms, It's something for those folks that want to see Ridley's Journey come full circle and..

FW: Do you know when this will happen?
RS : Fox are waiting to see how Aliens vs Predator does, and then they'll do the Alien movie, and I believe a Predator film too. Again, if I'm involved in it, great, if not, then that's luck of the draw."
