Ridley Scott Directing Alien Prequel

brumgrunt writes "After three decades of speculation, original Alien director Ridley Scott has signed on to the new Fox sequel. 'Nothing is known about the set-up of the new movie, except that chronologically it precedes the plight of the Nostromo. Since it's obviously going to involve the human race [...] Writer Jon Spaihts successfully pitched to Fox and Scott Free Productions, and is working on the script.'"

And Fox owns the rights to most of the Obama deception.

I heard they were going to do that, but they couldn't get Rosanne Barr to play the lead roll.

I just had a vision of Roseanne Barr stolling around the Nostromo clad only in a thong with her ass crack showing.......I ran to the kitchen and jabbed chopsticks in my eyes.
