Sir Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver made the first Alien movie a success
Alien creator Sir Ridley Scott confirmed back in July that he would, in fact, be coming back to direct a prequel to the series sometime in the near future. With all the other projects Scott has involved himself in, however, people began to wonder if and when this prequel would ever get the chance to terrorize humans again.
Where have Sir Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel details been hiding?
Recently Empire managed to grab Sir Ridley Scott to ask him some questions about the movie, and he confirmed once again that the prequel was still on his docket, and gave a few quotes to add even more credence:
“It’s a brand new box of tricks,” Sir Ridley told Empire. “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 [for example] if Alien was towards the end of this century, then the prequel story will take place thirty years prior.”
What’s this about a human focus in Alien prequel?
Sir Ridley Scott also told Empire that they’ve “decided to reboot the story in an attempt to give it a human focus.”
The man who made the first two Alien movies work so well is excited about his upcoming project, and that’s all I need to know to join him. But what do you think? Will this “more human focus” sully or save the franchise? Weigh in by posting a comment below!
