Finally there seems to be movement on the Alien prequel/origin film. Ridley Scott had previously just been attached to produce but later was talked into directing. It looks like since Robin Hood is finished he is looking at possibly shooting Alien next. He talked to MTV giving some details nd even giving us an idea for the release date. "We're hoping to have it in theaters in late 2011, or maybe the best date in 2012." It sounds like things are coming together and I expect there will be more announcements soon.
"As we speak, I've got a pile of pages next to me; it's like the fourth draft," he tells MTV. "It's a work in progress, but we're not dreaming it up anymore. We know what the story is. We're now actually trying to improve the three acts and make the characters better, build it up to something [we can shoot]. It's a work in progress, but we're actually making the film. There's no question about it, we're going to make the film."
"It's set in 2085, about 30 years before Sigourney [Weaver's character Ellen Ripley]. It's fundamentally about going out to find out 'Who the hell was that Space Jockey?' The guy who was sitting in the chair in the alien vehicle — there was a giant fellow sitting in a seat on what looked to be either a piece of technology or an astronomer's chair. Remember that?"
