Alien prequel to be directed by Ridley Scott

Post by King of Creation »

I'm not sure how to take this...Ridley Scott hasn't done anything in this genre for a long time.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=57640
After months of rumor and speculation, Variety confirms that 20th Century Fox plans to keep the "Alien" franchise alive with a prequel film that will be directed by original helmer Ridley Scott. The announcement that Fox has hired a writer comes just two months after the 30th Anniversary of Scott's original sci-fi horror film which launched a series of movie sequels, a number of comic books, and two movies that pit the Aliens against Fox's other creature franchise, the Predator. Screenwriter Jon Spaihts has been hired to write the prequel after the studio was impressed by his work on two space thrillers, both for Keanu Reeves, called Passengers and Shadow 19.

I was hoping this was going to feature Space Jockeys and stupid fictional languages. But no, they're going to do the same thing the first two movies did. I guess that's an improvement.

Its going to be a Ridley Scott film, so it can't be all that bad.

Same here. Considering the magnitude of the part they play in all this, you'd assume they'd have more emphasis somewhere along these lines.

To be fair, I think those are two of the best movies ever. Unfortunetly it means that this movie will be ass as emulation never leads to good things in my experiences.

I think Ridley Scott is smart enough not too put Megan Fox in one of his films.

We'll see. It could very well be the deciding point in his career.

I think that happened a while ago.

Also, I've known about this for a while and you probably have too, but Robert Rodriguez is finally going to make Predators.

The title is Predators. It was originally going to be about Dutch being transported to the Predator homeworld or something. Not sure if the story is going to be the same, but it would be pretty awesome.

Also, I think I'm changing my nick to Dutch.
