Ridley Scott returns for ALIEN prequel!!

According to Variety, Ridley Scott will return to the Alien franchise with a new prequel to be written by Jon Spaihts, who pitched the idea to Twentieth Century Fox. Ridley directed the original 1979 horror-scifi flick, but didn't come back for the sequels, which all steered more towards the action-scifi genres. Not much else is known about the project since a script still has to be written.

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.

Spaihts has become a go-to-guy for space thrillers. After Keanu Reeves became attached to his Warner Bros. sci-fi script "Shadow 19," Reeves hired Spaihts to write the space journey epic "Passengers," which is berthed at Morgan Creek. That script got Spaihts the meeting with Fox and Scott Free, and he won the job with an "Alien" reboot take that the studio and Scott loved.
 
Hearing that Scott is returning was good news to me. Makes me happy every time I see it from a new source.

If it was to be anyone, he was the best choice I could think of.
 
We need a great Alien film to wipe out the awful memory of the dreadful AVP movies (and the mediocre Alien: Resurrection).

I saw a quote from a guy at Fox who even aknowledges that AVP and AVP2 were rubbish!!
 
This is excellent news. There is still potential in the Alien franchise for some quality movie making. A prequel to the original makes sense. Actually they could also do a prequel to Aliens (or Alien 1.5) which shows how the colony on LV 426 struggled against the aliens, and shows us how Newt manages to survive.
 
I feel bad omens on this. Disregarding the AVP films (and who doesn't) the Alien franchise has been a good one, even the least good one (Res) wasn't actually a bad film.

But a prequel? Come on. This reeks of teen casting gone awry.

I was hoping to see more from the "Aliens" home world and how their species came to be... but since this film will be a prequel, I guess my hopes of seeing the story advance will have to wait.:(

As much as I too would like that I have to say they should stay well clear and keep the mystery of where these things came from.
 
If someone like George Lucas did an Alien movie, he would ruin it by trying to explain everything and exploit them to death. He would give the aliens feelings and attempt to make them cute and kid friendly. He would show us everything on their home world and attempt to humanize them. Or he would spoil all the mystery and change the story by saying they are not really aliens and they were really created by humans.

Lets all hope Lucas never has any involvement with any Alien film.:bartshock
 
Great news.

I'm a big fan of the first two films. Especially the original.

I'm looking forward to seeing it back on track with the original.

Ridley Scott is a master with visuals. I can't wait to see what he can do with this theme with the amazing fx we now have.
 
I'm imagining this prequel will somehow involve the space jockey...perhaps how the ship came to be on LV-426.

I'm not sure I WANT to know where the aliens originated or how, but I do think a view on how they arrived at the planet could be interesting.

Ridley Scott working on screenplay for Alien prequel

Scott, 72, who has shot movies including Gladiator, Alien and new film Robin Hood, admitted a prequel to 1979 flick Alien is in the pipeline.

Director Ridley Scott has revealed that he is currently working on a screenplay for the Alien prequel.

He said to MTV: "As we speak, I've got a pile of pages next to me; it's like the fourth draft. It's a work in progress, but we're not dreaming it up any more.

Ridley Scott says 'Alien' prequel to star a woman: Who would you cast?

by Kerrie Mitchell

Aliens-Sigourney-WeaverImage Credit: Everett CollectionMTV has up an interview with Ridley Scott that reveals some tasty nuggets about the director’s planned prequel to his classic 1979 thriller Alien. He’s still nailing down the screenplay, but the story is set 30 years before the original, and will attempt to explain what the “space jockey” aliens were from the first movie. Alien star Sigourney Weaver won’t be involved as yet — her character wasn’t even born when the new story takes place — but Scott does drop the tantalizing hint that the prequel, at least at this early point, will star a woman.

Re: Ridley Scott working on an 'Alien' prequel

Hopefully they don't do any stupid like try to fit Ripley into the script. Like, send her from the future to the past into prequel time. I love Ripley, but her time in this franchise has been overdone. Ditto for Bishop. But this prequel is going to be a tricky story to get right if they are including any humans in it. How will they explain the first movie where humans discovered the alien lifeform supposedly for the first time? I think the only direction it can go is to say "the company" had previous knowledge of the aliens which they kept secret from the rest of earth and the Nostromo crew. The prequel would tell the story of previous encounters which the company kept secret. But I think it could be cooler if it had no humans at all. Tell the story of a different intelligent alien race's encounter with the Giger aliens.
 
Re: Ridley Scott working on an 'Alien' prequel

Is a prequel even necessary at this point? At these it's not a remake and the original mind behind the story is behind this.
 
Re: Ridley Scott working on an 'Alien' prequel

I think I'm more interested in the upcoming Predator movie. Although I still can't believe Topher Grace and Adrien Brody are in it. It'll be interesting to see them in a movie like this--Topher especially.

I think it might go that it was kept secret by the government military and that the Nostromo was sent to investigate and, perhaps, to bring back an alien for study, unbeknownst to the crew.
 
Re: Ridley Scott working on an 'Alien' prequel

I think the fact that Ridley Scott is masterminding this movie could see the production of a worth prequel. I also heard very early rumours that James Cameron and Scott's brother were both involved in the writing.

If I'm not mistaken, its already been established that the company knew about the existance of the aliens before the LV-426 incident in Alien, as Mother and Ash were both programmed with prior knowledge of the space craft.

I wonder, even although its highly doubtful, if the events in Alien Versus Predator 1 and 2 will have any bearing on the prequel's storyline?
 
Re: Ridley Scott working on an 'Alien' prequel

I loved the first three alien movies (#2 is my favorite), but the latest ones have kinda bleh'ed me. And I think Ripley's as big of a part of those movies as the alien's themselves...I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
Re: Ridley Scott working on an 'Alien' prequel

i have a feeling that there's gonna be some kind of cameo from a young ripley. and maybe a cameo from sigourney as ripley's mom or something of that nature
