Ridley Scott explains his regret in not getting to direct sequels to Alien and Blade Runner.

Ridley Scott has had to see his landmark sci-fi films Alien and Blade Runner get handled by new visionary directors, with Dune director Denis Villeneuve directing the 2017 sequel film Blade Runner 2049 , and director Fede Alvarez bringing Alien : Romulus to theaters this year. Alien : Romulus is a spiritual sequel to Scott's original Alien film, which will see a group of young, would-be space-raiders board a ship that's infested with Xenomorphs.

"I was slow out the starting gate," Scott explained."I mean, I should have done the sequels to Alien and to Blade Runner. You change over the years. At that time, I didn't want to go through it again. So Jim Cameron came in—and then David Fincher—on Alien." "I'm the author of two franchises. Most directors in Hollywood—certainly, let's say, at my level—don't let that stuff go," Scott continued."But I did Alien as my second movie, so I didn't have much choice. And Blade Runner was my third movie. So, I had no choice because I had very tough partners. It was kind of 'Welcome to Hollywood.'"
