    ALIEN....the prequel?

    Two reports that Ridley Scott is attached to Direct an ALIEN prequel!

    How.......odd. A movie that takes place before the alien was discovered?

    Anyway, Scott will NOT be directing, he and his brother Tony are attached as producers. The director is Carl Rinsch. Yeah, who?

    Maybe it will involve the mining crew that originally "discovered" the species in Scott's first movie?

    I predict it won't have a happy ending
    Slow down, you'll get a more harmonious outcome.

    It will turn out that Darth Vader is actually Sigourney Weaver's mother.

    Actually Rinsch was mentioned months ago:
    http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/05/27/...-alien-remake/

    but FOX is holding out for Ridley Scott:
    http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/07/30/...alien-prequel/

    This may all be to drum up publicity as they test the waters for this prequel.
    Sigourney Weaver has expressed interest but how do you fit her in? Unless its in flashbacks or timetravel, as with Old Mr Nimoy appearing as Spock in the latest Trek movie.

    The Alien franchise has been run into the ground, so FOX might not produce this film w/o Ridley Scott or Sigourney Weaver.

    Im REALLY looking forward to Ridley Scott developing Forever War.

    Weaver can be her own mother... Her mother worked for the corporation that got her the job on the mining ship knowing that her daughter Ripley would run into the Aliens...

    In fact, even better... She's a clone of a scientist that was making Ripley to be impregnated by the aliens... and something went wrong... She developed a soul so they put her on the mining ship where they incidentally ran into the aliens that the Ripley clone was chosen not to meet though did... that making any sense?

    I say they do a REAL Alien vs Predator movie & have old Sigourney Weaver & old Arnold Schwartzenegger battle it out. The loser gets to fight William Shatner in a trek crossover.
