Filmmaker Fede Alvarez is set to write an original Alien movie for 20th Century Studios. Alvarez will direct the movie for Hulu as part of 20th Century's deal to provide 10 pictures a year to the Disney-owned OTT service. Alvarez's effort is separate from previous movies.
Ridley Scott, director of the 1979 original and two millennial editions, will produce the project through his Scott Free banner.
The new Alien movie will also be different from the Noah Hawley TV series.
