New Pre-Alien News

Scott says:

"It's set in 2085, about 30 years before Sigourney [Weaver's character Ellen Ripley]. It's fundamentally about going out to find out 'Who the hell was that Space Jockey?' The guy who was sitting in the chair in the alien vehicle — there was a giant fellow sitting in a seat on what looked to be either a piece of technology or an astronomer's chair ... Our man [Tom Skerritt as Captain Dallas] climbs up and says "There's been an explosion in his chest from the inside out — what was that?" I'm basically explaining who that Space Jockey — we call him the Space Jockey — I'm explaining who the space jockeys were ... [The film] is about the discussion of terraforming — taking planets and planetoids and balls of earth and trying to terraform, seed them with the possibilities of future life."

Alien Prequel: Alien Origins?

There is some mystery around this rumor ridden project. First it was that revealed that a talented music video/commercial director was going to direct it. I went through his work a while back he has some talent.

Check it out.

So about a month and a half ago it was released that Fox wants Scott to direct.

Of course I am happy that the latest rumor is that Scott will direct another installment in my beloved Alien saga. But does he still have it in him? The first Alien coming from Scott is almost a fluke of a young man's desire to shock and blow audiences away. His style has changed so much that it worries me.

He has also become more hit and miss as time moves on, with more misses than hits.

Tell me what you guys think.

Should Aliens just be left alone after the atrocious AVP's or should Scott come back do a what looks to be an Alien Origins?
