Alien Prequel

So I just found out that there's gonna be a new Alien movie. A prequel to the orginal. I'm all for it. I say

And Ridley Scott is to direct it.

And we care about your movie viewings because...?

(don't answer that. we don't)

Should be interesting.

Ooo, Ridley Scott...

Who's Ridley Scott?

some sort of.. original Alien helmer?

The Director of the other films.

He directed the first Alien Film.

Other directors did the other three.

Sounds promising.

It does but I wonder what the hell the story will be like. Maybe Colonial marines encounter them on a colony they were stationed at?

Haven't seen any of the Alien movies, but I've seen AVP, Predator, and MAYBE a bit of the second Alien.

wow, not any? you should watch them they're very good.

Directors get old and senile,

as George Lucas showed us

I liked Aliens, not so much Alien though. Aliens 3 (or whatever, why can't you just use numbers?) I didn't think was that great.

Go look at his track record.

Ridley Scot hasn't made that many bad films

And this is from the guy who did Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven and American Gangster.

I think it really depends on the writer more than anything.

Alien was the best one


no run and gunning "hey time to kill alienz guyz" kinda shit.... there was one alien, they had no guns, and the company deemed them expendable over the capture of the alien.
