Ridley Scott was very disappointed, not with James Cameron personally, but that the studio did Continuation into foreign hands as he told Deadline in an interview:
I was pissed. I would [James Cameron] never say, but I think I was hurt. I knew that I [mit Alien] had created something very special, something truly unique. I was hurt, deeply hurt.
