I know the franchise has been on a downhill, but I really loved Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey and felt that it breathed life into the Predator as a menace once more. Maybe all Alien needs is a nice, smaller budget, more classically focused sci-fi horror film to revitalize the franchise. I don’t know if Fede is necessarily the prime choice, Dan at least had the excellent 10 Cloverfield Lane under their chops, but I think giving relatively new directors tired franchises is great.
