That could possibly hold up production of Alien 5. Scott is producing both films, with Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) directing Alien 5.The original Prometheus was a prequel to the first Alien film, which Scott directed back in 1979. The events of Alien 5 will reportedly take place after Aliens (the sequel to Alien).
