Ridley Scott to Direct 'Alien' Prequel
Source: Variety
Variety reports that after months speculation, 20th Century Fox plans to resuscitate the Alien franchise with a prequel film that will be directed by the original's director, Ridley Scott.
The film is set up to be a prequel to the groundbreaking 1979 film that Scott directed. It will precede that film, in which the crew of a commercial towing ship returning to Earth is awakened and sent to respond to a distress signal from a nearby planetoid. The crew discovers too late that the signal generated by an empty ship was meant to warn them.
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 normally would be pretty disapointed with a prequel but since Ridley Scott is directing I have high hopes

I know Ridley has it in him to do this right. He is totally capable of knocking this out of the park. He can make a film that will completely whipe the slate clean of all the other shitty movies that have the name Alien tacked on to them.
The Alien theme is really Ridley's baby and I'm sure he'll take the proper care with it. As an older director I'm sure he'll be able to avoid the general pitfalls of film making because he's already experienced them several times.
It just occurred to me how non-pessimistic that whole rant was, thats not like me at all. shit

On one hand, kick ass, it's Ridley Scott, but on the other, Scott was pushing for Carl Rinsch, so I'm always some what disappointed when FOX gets it's way.

At least the prequel thing has died down a little

If it's Ridley Scott directing this, then I think the franchise can be saved, after those god-awful AVP films.
