Ridley Scott Directing Alien Prequel

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the reboot-a-few-more-classics dept.

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.'"

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

    Modded Flamebait huh? Guess there is a loyal following of Rosanne fans on Slashdot, who knew?
