The news that all Sci Fi fans will be dreading! – Alien is being talked about for a re-boot style makeover….”AAAaaaaarrrggghh!”

Check out the full details here: http://www.bloody-disgusting.c…..news/16328


Although this prospect is truly horrifying, it might not be all that bad….Ridley Scott is suposedly involved in production (although no talk of James Cameron – we wish) and rather than a batman/startrek/Bond style reboot itcould focus on the origin of the LV-426 Aliens and in particular thier crashed ship!


Now, this does interest me in a big way, especially if its done right! However the project could be so frought with temptation to 'kidify' the story that i'm not holding my breath for this one.


What do you think?

It does seem to be the trend at the moment to latch onto successful film brands – maybe its to try and secure “easier” funding?


I wouldn't be too worried – alot of the recent remarks have been good – Batman, Star Trek. I got too scared after Alien 3 to watch any more, but were the last two any good? If they weren't then surely this is even more of a reason to do  more? Theres nothing to loose as they have already gone too far?


I'm speaking totally unbaised though as Alien isn't as sacred to me as it is to you Moon!

I think it will be a disaster!

Can they not think up new classics any more? Do we have to go back and re-work EVERYTHING until its exhausted?

Hollywood is running out of imagination imo :/

An interesting question to pose would be…


- what will be the first re-boot fo a re-boot?


We are boud to get there at some point, maybe 20 years from now when they are bored enough of batman beings etc…

*update*

It has been confirmed by Tony Scott (Top Gun, Crimson Tide), Ridley's brother, that the new Alien film will be a prequal and cover the parts of the story we are interested in! (the crashed alien ship and where they origionally came from)
