Director Ridley Scott's latest movie, The Dog Stars, hasn't quite lived up to expectations since its release last week. The sci-fi spectacle fell short of box-office expectations in its first weekend, continuing an unfortunate run that has gone on for years. It also received mediocre reviews, which could impact its performance when it drops on digital and streaming. The Dog Stars marked Scott's first new sci-fi movie in nearly a decade, but he is already planning to jump back into his most iconic franchise, Alien. The franchise began in the 1970s, and was recently given a shot in the arm by director Fede Álvarez with Alien: Romulus. Álvarez previously said that he wouldn't be returning to direct a sequel, and Scott's recent comments about Alien: Romulus — he thought it was "okay" — and his interest in returning to the series partially explain why Álvarez is staying away.
