12 Movie Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (17th Jan)

8. Alien: Covenant Will Be Extreme

Backstage at the Golden Globes this week, Ridley Scott revealed that he has no intention of blunting the teeth of his Alien franchise: "I think I'm going to do a pretty hard R. I always remember walking down the edge in Saint Louis when we were previewing . I couldn€™t sit through the film one more time. I walked down the edge into the kitchen scene when John Hurt started to bring up his breakfast. That moment, I realized how pretty scary the film was€ I felt a sense of responsibility that I had gone too far because it was extreme. I€™m going to try and do that again this year, but much worse." That much is good news for everyone: and though everything else has been R-rated (aside from one bad spin-off) it sounds like Scott plans to go even further this time. Source.
