Ridley Scott´s 'Prometheus' Will Have A Link To Alien Franchise

 Just recently, director Ridley Scott announced that the Alien prequel he was set to direct and penned by Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, had taken a life of its own and will now be conceived as an original project named Prometheus.

 However, according to Sky Movies, Prometheus will still have a storyline that ties in directly with the Alien franchise, and this will include the popular H.R. Giger designed creatures. Giger has been previously linked to being involved in the prequel so the possibility of him being involved in this new project is strong.

 Sources say that "despite that press release that seemed to indicate there were no aliens in the movie, the familiar H.R. Giger-style aliens do appear. Big ones apparently. They've built the 'space jockey' cockpit at Pinewood as seen in the original Alien film, so it definitely takes place in the same world as Alien "

 Insiders also confirm that the plot centres around a space crew and the discovery of alien DNA on an archeological expedition, which will eventually lead them to an alien world.

  Rumours also state that the film is said to involve "biochemical technology" and the spacecraft may be piloted by a giant CGI head.

 The release date for Prometheus is June 8, 2012. Are you happy with Scott´s return to the science fiction genre?

Charlize Theron Could Star in 'Alien' Prequel

 According to Vulture, Charlize Theron may be in talks to star in Ridley Scott's Alien prequel to play spaceship crewmember Vickers.

 Originally, Scott had wanted to cast Michelle Yeoh in the part but the studio has been pushing for a bigger name to support potential lead Noomi Rapace (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) who is allegedly the director´s favourite choice as of now.

 There is no word yet on whether the Oscar-winning actress will finally get the role, but actor Michael Fassbender (Inglorious Bastards) is said to be in talks as well to play an android among the ship's crew.

  Seems like the Alien prequel is almost ready to go! Are you happy with the rumoured casting choices?

H.R. Giger will collaborate on ‘Alien’ prequel

 Sculptor/set designer H.R. Giger who is famous among other things for designing the Alien creature in the original 1979 movie, is set to return to his roots for the prequel directed by Ridley Scott. At least according to his wife, Scheweizer Fernsehen, who confirmed Giger's involvement with the project.

 Very little is known at this time about the film but the involvement of both Scott and Giger can almost guarantee a return to good quality science-fiction. An official announcement with details of the project is expected soon.

 Are you happy with Giger's return to the Alien franchise?

Sigourney Weaver talks Ridley Scott's "Alien" prequel

  Sigourney Weaver has recently commented on the upcoming Alien prequel ,which is being helmed by Ridley Scott (who directed the first "Alien" movie), stating that she completely trusts Scott for the job. Even though she's not involved with the project, the actress who starred as Ripley in the popular franchise, revealed to Shock Til You Drop that she is hoping to be able to give her input on the story: "If they needed help with the story, I could probably help them because I probably have a good sense of what people appreciate in the series and what they don't care about. So I hope they'll ask me."

  As far the female lead for the film, Weaver believes "she should be very different from Ripley. I think it's a trick thing because you want to get a good, young actress in there." The actress said: "But I would trust Ridley. He found me! It's an important decision. But, as with all of these Alien films, it's an ensemble film. It's very important who you pick for all the parts."

  When she looks back on the "Alien" franchise, Weaver finds it hard to pick a favourite, stating that "each one had, at the helm, such an original visionary. Ridley transformed the idea of space from this sterile, cerebral place to a place where people actually got up and had breakfast and swore and griped and carried on like regular people. Then Jim [Cameron] took it to a whole other scale of story and emotional resonance."

   I believe that finding a replacement for Sigourney is going to be really hard for Ridley Scott. She should definitely be a strong, charismatic, empowered character that the audience can identify with. Ripley was the heroine in the story, and one of the reasons the Alien movies were so good and entertaining in the first place.

  The Alien prequel is scheduled to be released in 2011. Are you excited for this movie?
