possible BS but new AvP movie in development?

It's funny they suggest such a project would have more weight behind it if Ridley Scott (now in his mid-80s) stepped up to do it. As much credit as he deserves for the original which spawned the rest, his return with Prometheus & Covenant (despite the quantum leap in visual fx since the 70s) were uneven & poorly executed. It was all great right up until they took the head aboard & in two lines went from a careful scientific study of their only specimen of superior alien life to running a current thru its brain to trick into "thinking it's still alive", thus blowing it up. From then on it seemed like Scott turned the writing over to an intern, & went off to fume about the MCU.

With that off my chest, they do have an alien queen with vast survival skills just sitting down on the bottom of the frozen (& increasingly warming) ocean with nothing more than a barely jerry-rigged chain holding her to a submerged tank, so if someone (ahem, Paul W.S. Anderson) really wants to make another AvP sequel, the answer is global warming.
