Ridley Scott is going to direct the upcoming Alien Prequel movie. Fox have also hired Jon Spaihts to write the prequel. The studio was impressed by his work on two space thrillers called Passengers and Shadow 19.

Twentieth Century Fox is resuscitating its "Alien" franchise. The studio has hired Jon Spaihts to write a prequel that has Ridley Scott attached to return as director. Spaihts got the job after pitching the studio and Scott Free, which will produce the film.

The film is set up to be a prequel to the groundbreaking 1979 film that Scott directed. It will precede that film, in which the crew of a commercial towing ship returning to Earth is awakened and sent to respond to a distress signal from a nearby planetoid. The crew discovers too late that the signal generated by an empty ship was meant to warn them.

Not exactly new news... But still nice to know. I really hope that they do not recreate the Alien(s)... PLEASE don't R. SCOTT! PLEASE. Use whathever design you like (Giger) and even change it to a bit but PLEASE do NOT recreate the Xenos.

Maybe he meant they were going to introduce the pilots as the new antagonists...

...I hope that isn't what he meant though...
