Nostromo No-No

On Thursday Bloody Disgusting had posted news that either a remake or a prequel to Ridley Scott's original Alien movie was being prepped.



Now it's been confirmed as a prequel by Collider's Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub

Scott will oversee the film with his brother Tony Scott and Michael Costigan

The concept is to harken back to the one alien, one ship notion with a non-Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) flick set before the events of the now 30 year old classic...In order to avoid both continuity problems and potential compliments from the franchise's fans like me who'd be very upset over a straight remake.

Last Month Ridley was said to be "toying around with the idea" of another "Alien" film.

Up and comer Carl Rinsch will direct the movie.

What works for Star Trek eh will do for Alien?

The studio's planned reboot of the other monster series-"Predator" with Robert Rodriguez pushing it has also been announced.
