‘Alien’ Prequel Confirmed By Tony Scott

On Thursday, we expressed our unhappiness about Fox seeking to crack open the Alien vault and do either a remake or a prequel. It was well-informed talk from Bloody Disgusting that got it started, and Collider now has confirmed we’re getting another Alien movie.

It’s going to be a prequel, according to Ridley Scott’s brother Tony, who, along with Ridley, runs Scott Free, the company that will produce the new movie. “Yes, Carl Rinsch is going to do the prequel to Alien,” Scott confirms. Rinsch is a commercial and music video director who works for Scott Free, so Ridley is kind of keeping it in the family.
