Alien: Earth<\/strong>” is the first time that Scott Free Productions has adapted any of the Scott brothers’ films for television in his 24 years with the company.<\/p>\nAppearing at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, Zucker tells\u00a0Variety\u00a0that the company is now exploring other works in the pair\u2019s\u00a0filmographies.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking at a number of different right now, and the point of entry is really: \u2018What is its reason to be?\u2019 because while it\u2019s certainly IP is ruling the day, and those titles all have different potential values and degrees of familiarity, it still comes down to what\u2019s the foundational premise and concept for a piece that really merits it being brought forward now. And so that kind of development in some ways is the same as original development. It gives you some source from which to build, potentially, but how much of that proves applicable remains to be seen.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/ins>\nWith each of those titles, it requires more hurdles out of the gate, because you have to align with the controlling studio and making sure that rights are available, and it demands a partnership and a mutual interest and an alignment going forward. But there are a few of them that we\u2019re exploring now that I think could have some great potential. By end of summer, I think we\u2019ll know if we have some traction going forward with them.<\/i><\/p>\n
