In general I do not like prequels… and it’s not just because the Star Wars ones were let downs. With prequels, you already know certain things will happen… and certain things won’t happen… which takes a lot out of a story for me.
Anyway, if you’re going to do a prequel, you might as well put it in the right hands. There is an Alien prequel coming, and it’s been confirmed that director Ridley Scott will be taking the helm for the movie.
Our friends over at Movies Online give us this:
News from Variety has come in that Ridley Scott has been tapped to direct the new Alien prequel which is being planned as a brand new prequel. This is great news for fans looking to get their fix from the franchise, especially after the mess that Alien vs Predator was. The film is set up to be a prequel to the groundbreaking 1979 film that Scott directed.
So will the heroes in this new movie kill the Alien race??? Well obviously no, so there goes any real mystery.
Still… if you’re going to do an Alien prequel… this is the right guy to do it. I just don’t think they should be doing it at all.
