Fusco told THR that he's been working on a potential movie adaptation and he's now confident of its potential. He is now set to pitch the project to a major studio in a few weeks.
"I think the timing is right. That’s a big important thing, timing. There have been movies out there of characters that I didn’t think were on the same parallel as ALF that got movies made, so I think it’s time. I think it could be a home run on a lot of levels.
[...]
ALF could be more outspoken now than ever, because the world is a whole different place than the ’80s. And I think the character still stands up and certainly has more to say now than ever. I think we would approach it in a fresh way. I don’t think we would duplicate the TV show, but I think we would maybe put it in a storyline where we would explain how ALF got here and put him with a new family and let the character speak for himself."

Paul Fusco, the creator of Alf
Here's the opening of the original TV series:
I totally agree with Paul Fusco: Alf deserves his own movie. Can't wait to see the funny alien cracking jokes at the theater.
Anyway, more details about the movie Alf soon!
