if Alien was the first and Aliens was the second,does that mean the prequel will be called 'Alie'..LOL
well,not the prequel,but Ridley Scott being back in the Alien Franchise has been happening for ages,seems him and his brother Tony Scott are both producing the film
apparently its all happening around the Space Jockey,and that Derelict spaceship that John Hurt and posse went noseying around in,in the first film,its gonna show how the ship crashed etc
can't say i am happy really,the origins of the Space Jockey should remain unknown,its better that way..and another thing is,that the space Jockey was an Alien itself,just not wierd two mouthed vicious sons of a bitches type Alien...so wheres the cast gonna come in?..no Humans?..also hadnt the Derelict ship been on LV426 for 1000s of years??
i do remember that the original script for Alien 4 was Lance Henrickson's Character(the evil one)going in search of the original Alien Planet..not where the space ship came from,but the Aliens who obviously made the ship crash in the first place..but that was before they got Siggsy Weaver in
so yeah,can't say i am happy the only saving grace is that Tony and Ridley Scott are on the project,both great directors,hopefully they will give Carl Rinsch a hand,who has only directed two Shorts and the last one of those was in 1996
here is Carl Rinsch complete work history(IMDB)

More News On Fox's ALIEN: LAST FLIGHT OF THE SPACE JOCKEY!!!
Beaks here...
Remember that ALIEN remake Bloody-Disgusting reported on last week? Well, thanks to some pointed questioning by Collider's Steve "Frosty" Weintraub (who probably just attended his last Fox junket until Tom Rothman is tossed out on his tuchus) at today's THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1, 2, 3 press junket, we know now that it's a prequel. 'Cuz that's what hot.
Weintraub got this scoop from Tony Scott, who's producing the prequel with his brother Ridley at Fox. He also confirmed Bloody-Disgusting's report that the Scott brothers' protege, Carl Rinsch, will helm the project. There are no plot details yet, but my good friend and former colleague Drew McWeeny is probably not far off the mark with his fervent enthusiasm for a Space Jockey origin tale on Twitter. I hope this bittersweet scene makes it into Rinsch's film:
"'One day, Mommy Space Jockey, I'll go to the stars and I'll meet someone from another planet!' Sad, foreshadowy music."
I've got nothing but apathy for this movie. Maybe Ridley and Tony will hire a talented young screenwriter to knock out a sequel that doesn't trash the memory of the first and second films (I really like the third, too, but the first two are indisputable classics). I wish I could be optimistic, but they'll be working under the aegis of Fox aka The Prequel Factory. Here's hoping they've got a significant degree of autonomy over there.
