Alien Prequel Film is an Origin Story
A while ago we had a post that talked about Ridley Scott wanting to return to the Alien franchise or at least toying with the idea. The comment came from Fox Chairman Tom Rothman while he was promoting X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Now we are hearing that not only is Ridley Scott on board but his brother Tony Scott and Michael Costigan are also teaming on the project as producers with Carl Rinsch set to direct. Rinsch is a commercial and music video director who also does producing work for Tony and Ridley Scott’s production company, Scott Free Productions, who are producing the prequel.
So as a prequel what type of story do we expect to see?
Well Bloody-Disgusting is confirming that the film will in fact be an “origin story” revolving around the Alien and how its species began, etc. I think this is fantastic news as opposed to an all out remake and reboot with a new Alien film and a new Ripley because the original still holds up today in my opinion.
The news hasn’t been confirmed by Fox as of now, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted on any and all updates surrounding this potential new film.
