If you’re a science-fiction fan than you are most-likely a fanboy of Ridley Scott. As the director of the original Alien and Blade Runner, Mr. Scott treats science-fiction with respect and integrity. So when it was recently announced that Ridley would be directing a new Alien movie, there was much cause for celebration. Would it be a sequel? A prequel? A remake?
It will be a prequel.
In the words of Ridley Scott, who was at the London Film Festival yesterday, “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 if Alien was towards the end of this century, then the prequel story will take place thirty years prior. I never thought I’d look forward to a sequel, but a prequel is kind of interesting. I’m looking forward to doing that.”
