James Cameron, the father of "Terminator", directs the film. Cameron’s self-written and directed film wisely avoided repeating the style of the first episode. It moved the battlefield of people and aliens from a single spaceship to a huge space base, and reinterpreted it with its unique action film style. This horror story happened in space. Walter Hill is a writer and director that Cameron admires. He has no intention of getting involved in the field of science fiction; the same is true for David Giller. So it wasn't until Cameron boarded this "space ship" that "Alien" began to shoot for a sequel.
Cameron never talked about this movie with Ridley Scott. He was certain that Scott would have reservations about the film. Through the media, Cameron told Scott that the film was a good sequel. Scott's "Alien" is a perfect work, and it is not easy to surpass it. But Cameron often said that if Scott directed "Alien 3", he would definitely direct "Alien 4".
