Ridely Scott quits on new Alien project (2011)

Skybird · 01-15-11, 01:33 PM

I just read it in German news. The project is cancelled. But from the years of plannign so far, another film will emerge, so far called "Prometheus".

The message weas brief and just a few lines. If you have more info, post it.

I personally did not wait for another Alien movie anyway. I want him to finally come to terms with The Forever War. He doesn't get younger.

Will Prometheus be bound? That would be pretty cool.

In a way, I think the "alien" series has run its course. Perhaps he can bring his skill into another series?

While Alien was indeed the jumping off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place. The keen fan will recognize strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative. I couldn’t be more pleased to have found the singular tale I’d been searching for, and finally return to this genre that’s so close to my heart.

i think an Alien prequel would be great given the right story and directing... problem is with such a film it is very easy to produce a turd.

Ridely Scott walking away from it speaks volumes.

unfortunate.

Just email a friend to break the bad news, his answer was.....

Hmmm, well you get the picture.

Well it would have been nice to see the back story but this is now not the case.

I too would of like to see a Alien prequel, but with Scott now leaving, there's no point someone else picking it up.

Some points from interview with Ridley Scott on Wall Street Journal:

The movie is about a higher being who challenges the gods.
The last 8 minutes of the film 'evolve into a pretty good DNA of the Alien one'. In other words, the movie ends where Alien picks up.
Sigourney Weaver doesn't make any kind of cameo appearance.
The movie was shot in 3D with CGI.

Yeah, I think I'd like to see it again as well. I'll think I'll be getting the Blu-ray when it comes out.
