According to Variety, Ridely Scott will direct a forthcoming prequel to Alien, the iconic, deathless sci-fi franchise he kicked off with his 1979 sci-fi classic. Sci-fi specialist Jon Spaihts will write the screenplay after hooking in both Scott and Fox with his pitch. Executives were especially impressed by the realistic-looking alien fetus that dramatically burst out of his torso during a key moment in his presentation. Showmanship will get you everywhere, friends.
Ridley Scott is a dependable director of big, spectacle-driven epics with a solid track record and impressive resume, unlike his ADD-addled brother Tony, who is a dependable source of migraine headaches and epileptic seizures, so we’re cautiously optimistic.
