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?

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 :/

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)
