Ridley Scott Returning to Alien Franchise!

Source:Variety
July 31, 2009


Well, well, well...

Ridley Scott is going back to the Alien franchise after all. For years there's been talks of him developing a sequel (once with James Cameron). Then a prequel.

Variety confirms 20th Century Fox has attached Scott to a prequel that he will direct! Jon Spaihts will pen the film, his credits include two space thrillers Passengers and Shadow 19. This is the studio's latest move to reinvigorate some of its franchise creatures. Fox is also overseeing Predators with Robert Rodriguez producing.

Yeah, punisherx. 'It better be good.' Or else what?

Just to be clear, this is great news!

I hope Ridley Scott shows his talent. And this franchise regains its status.
After Alien resurrection, thought these could never happen again. That was one of the wordt movies ever!

That is truly cool that is back in alien franchise and he will do amazing in alien pequel movies and other sequels as well.

This is great news. Scott wouldn't return to the baby he created, and made him a household name, if he didn't think the movie had potential. He isn't going to make a piece of crap like Alien Resurrection, Alien vs Predator, or Aliens vs Predator: Requiem. Or let the idiot studio execs control too much of it like Alien 3. He's going to do it right and make sure it's good.

This movie's interest level just jumped from "let's wait and see" to "more anticipated than The Dark Knight 2."

This sounds good.

I'll hold any speculations until there's a teaser or a full trailer.
Mr. Scott: Welcome back. Do this franchise some justice, please?

:( I don't want a prequel! I want a sequel!

mattiac, you can't see the forest for the trees. a prequel will give use the origin of the species and could be the most terrifying of all because of it. bak2bak they are but some people don't like them like Ridley Scott. I love them. but this will take use farther back then that. I just hope they keep the queen alien and not just go with the xenomorph being able to turn it's victims into eggs
