I remember hearing a review of Prometheus along the lines of; if the studio had approached me and asked what new direction I could take the Aliens franchise in, I wouldn’t have a good answer for them. Looks like Ridley Scott didn’t either.
I think that could be applied to Terminator, Predator, Ghostbusters or whatever other 80s/90s has a drop of milk yet to be squeezed out. I'm surprised they haven’t made the Sixth Element yet.
