Ridley Scott Teases AI-Driven Alien Finale With Fassbender Return

Ridley Scott revealed he’s rewriting the next Alien film to serve as a contemporary conclusion to his Prometheus–Covenant prequel arc, with Michael Fassbender returning as Walter. He’s exploring the fallout of artificial intelligence going “off the rails,” a concept he says could cause widespread chaos. Scott notes he already has a footprint for the sequel and suggests it will pick up after Covenant, following the less-well-received Alien: Romulus.

Michael Fassbender Shines in Slick Spy Drama 'The Agency'

The new CIA drama series 'The Agency,' starring Michael Fassbender, is set in April 2023 to avoid real-life events overtaking its fictional narrative.

The show is now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.

Michael Fassbender's 'The Agency': A Star-Studded Spy Drama Falls Short

The Agency, a new spy thriller on Paramount+ starring Michael Fassbender, is a close American remake of the French series Le Bureau des Légendes. While it features a star-studded cast and fast-paced plot, it lacks the original's depth and character connection, particularly in the chemistry between Fassbender's character and his love interest. The show is entertaining but may leave fans of the original feeling a sense of ennui.

"Sony Pictures Classics Acquires Irish Rap Trio Kneecap Biopic After Sundance Debut"

Irish rap trio Kneecap made a smoky entrance at the Sundance Film Festival to mark the world premiere of their film "Kneecap," featuring Michael Fassbender, which was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics. The film, in the native Irish language, follows the trio's rise as unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue. The stunt, involving a Northern Irish PSNI Land Rover, aimed to provoke conversation around Irish language and politics. This marks the first Irish language film to screen at Sundance, and the trio's manager and a creative agency were behind the attention-grabbing stunt.
