Fox's 'Alien' Prequel Dead, 'Prometheus' Rises
The Alien prequel is dead and a new Ridley Scott project has been reborn.
Fox has announced that instead of making a much-talked about Alien movie, the project has been reconfigured as an original sci-fi movie, titled Prometheus, with Scott still at the helm and with Noomi Rapace to star.

FeoNote: Too bad. With Ridley (ALIEN, BLADE RUNNER) back in the Driver's seat, H.R. Giger (ALIEN, SPECIES) back in the Creature Design chair, and writer Damon Lindelof (LOST [TV], STAR TREK [2009]) co-helming the screenplay, I thought this might have a chance. Still, I trust Scott that if he pulled the plug, he had a damn good reason. Thanks dude!

H.R. Giger is On for the Alien Prequel
Good news for those who like their alien spaceships properly oozing, dark, and pseudo-sexual: H.R. Giger is now confirmed as a contributor to Ridley Scott's new Alien prequel. Giger is the artist who designed all of the alien looks in the original sci-fi horror flick, and so it is he who we can thank for those extraterrestrials known sometimes as xenomorphs, but more commonly called simply, significantly, aliens.

The 'Brokeback Alien' rumours couldn't get any more off the planet. But so what? As long as the film enters new territory

Ridley Scott Confirms ALIEN Prequel Will Be Shot in 3D and He Wants to Make 2 Prequels!
At the junket for Robin Hood, Steve asked director Ridley Scott whether the upcoming Alien prequel would be shot in 3D. Scott's answer: "Absolutely." However, he mentioned that the problem with shooting in 3D is that you can't shoot in low light.

Exclusive: Ridley Scott Reveals 'Alien' Prequel Details
'I've always avoided sequels, unless I felt there was something fresh,' director says of returning to 1979 classic.
It isn't overstating things to say that Ridley Scott is among the greatest filmmakers of all time, and "Alien" is among the greatest films of all time. So how could anyone not be eager to learn every little detail about his prequel to the 1979 classic?

Problems Filling The Director's Chair Puts 'Alien' Prequel In Doubt
In space, no one can hear you scream. Not so on the internet, it turns out.
When rumors broke that an "Alien" prequel was in the works -- to be produced by Ridley Scott and his brother Tony Scott, with newcomer Carl Rinsch attached to direct -- longtime fans of the franchise instantly grew squeamish at the news. Interestingly, "Alien" enthusiasts aren't the only ones who are skeptical.

The plot-obstacles to an Alien prequel
Collider's scoop last Friday managed to semi-calm the blast wave of fanboy wrath (some of it ours) at the notion that Ridley Scott's original Alien was to be remade. Turns out the planned film is a prequel. Whether this kills the possibility of Alien 5 or realises it (the Alien multiverse was already spaghetti junction - could the new film be considered Alien 0?), a lot of Top 10 Contenders For New Ripley lists have been ripped up half-written, and that's a good thing.

Ridley Scott Will Direct An 'Alien' Prequel
One of the more unsettling stories of the past few months was the news that Fox was planning a prequel to the classic and battered "Alien" franchise. Everyone, including the studio, was squeamish about the idea unless Ridley Scott himself came back to direct. That seemed pretty unlikely since the director never touched the franchise after its 1979 debut. Apparently movie miracles do happen, as Fox and "Alien" fans have gotten their wish.
