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.
The deal gives Fox another chance to keep the "Alien" franchise alive. There were three sequels to Scott's original, but it is the first time the director has set his mind on directing one.
So no remake, just this now.
What does everyone think of this?
I am not to exited.

So, we're changing from a remake to a prequel. I'm okay with that.

This is gonna suck I bet, I have little faith. I love the original but for some reason this is not making me happy.

Me neither, I think the film will suck either way, but I'm more inclined to see it now that it's been tagged as a prequel than a remake.

Bad idea. Baaaaaaad idea.
A little better than a remake, but still, not a smart decision.
