Paul Anderson Not Involved with "Alien 5"

Archive

It is official: Writer-director Paul Anderson is not involved with Alien 5.

The director of Resident Evil and Alien vs. Predator told Now Playing Magazine that, despite the widespread rumors, he will be neither writing nor directing any additions to the Alien franchise.

“That’s not a reality. I’ve heard that. I’ve been doing press lately for AvP and a lot of people said that. I don’t know where that came from. It’s not something I’ve been approached about.”

Anderson feels that Alien vs. Predator was a standalone project and not a part of the Alien and Predator series. He hopes to see both Alien 5 and Predator 3 come to pass, but without his involvement. In fact, Anderson is hoping James Cameron, who directed Aliens in 1986, will be the one to make the next sequel.
