Scott Talks 'Alien' Prequel
Source: Empire
Empire caught up with Sir Ridley Scott and asked him about the Alien prequel.
As for what to expect, Scott said, “It’s a brand new box of tricks. We know what the road map is, and the screenplay is now being put on paper. The prequel will be a while ago. It’s very difficult to put a year on Alien, but [for example] if Alien was towards the end of this century, then the prequel story will take place thirty years prior.”
Scott continued to say about the film, “I never thought I’d look forward to a sequel, but a prequel is kind of interesting. I’m looking forward to doing that.”

- witchking my brother agrees with you. but honestly i have been waiting for another alien movie for so long. cause as soon as they said avp was annouced i was like holy shit really that would be totally awsome. but i founed it pretty shitty cause it was set in modern era, im glad that it's set in the future again. i still cant stop watching aliens and for people who dont know what im talking about i mean alien 2.

Comment by David on October 29, 2009 at 10:18pm - I already expressed my feelings about a prequel in a blog back when it was first announced. I'm of course curious to see what Scott can do with the franchise again...but still, I think a prequel is not the right move.
