Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars Flops at the Box Office While Alien: Earth Season 2 Begins Filming — Image via headtopics.com,

Ridley Scott’s latest sci‑fi venture crashes while his Alien universe gears up for a new chapter

Ridley Scott’s return to the science‑fiction arena with The Dog Stars has been a spectacular miss at the box office, pulling in roughly $21 million worldwide against a $70 million production budget. The shortfall leaves the film more than $100 million shy of its break‑even point, marking another commercial stumble for the veteran director after the under‑performing historical epics Gladiator II and Napoleon. While The Dog Stars flounders, Scott is quietly softening his long‑standing vow to walk away from the Alien franchise. He’s now collaborating with Michael Fassbender on a fresh prequel centered on the synthetic David, the enigmatic android whose godlike ambitions have haunted the series since Prometheus. Though Scott isn’t directing, his producer’s hand remains on the franchise’s pulse. That same franchise is expanding on the small screen: Disney+ has confirmed that Alien: Earth Season 2 is officially in production. Created by Noah Hawley, the series has already drawn a strong following, and the new season will feature a high‑profile Game of Thrones reunion, with Peter Dinklage and Jerome Flynn joining the cast. Their involvement underscores the show’s ambition to deepen the Alien mythos with star power and long‑form storytelling.
