Alien: Romulus, directed by Fede Alvarez, recently proved a huge hit – and so, following that movie's success, Scott is developing another Alien film for 20th Century Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter .

The story of 160 elite U.S. soldiers who dropped into Mogadishu in October 1993 to capture two top lieutenants of a renegade warlord, but found themselves in a desperate battle with a large force of heavily armed Somalis. Black Hawk Down is available to stream on Peacock in the United States.

Director Ridley Scott praises Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey as an eternally relevant mediation on artificial intelligence.
