Back in May, commercial director Carl Erik Rinsch was signed on to direct a remake of Ridley Scott's 1979 classic film, Alien. Since then, the remake has developed into more of a prequel. Now, according to this story in Variety, Ridley Scott himself is returning to the director's chair to helm Twentieth Century Fox's Alien prequel.
In Alien, the crew of a commercial towing vessel discovers a derelict spaceship on an unexplored planet. Upon exploring the derelict craft, the crew discovers a vast chamber containing thousands of eggs, with no explanation of how they got there. It is predicted that Scott's prequel will tell the story of the derelict craft, its crew, and the origin of the Alien species.
Fox is also overseeing Predators with Robert Rodriguez producing. Does this mean a remake of Alien vs. Predator in the future? I surely hope not.
