According to Variety, Ridley Scott (directed the first Alien film) has been attached to direct the Alien prequel that is coming out eventually. This movie is run by 20th Century Fox and has hired the writer, Jon Spaihts (Passengers), to write the story who pitched the prequel to the studio. This prequel will be set before all four Alien films. This sequel should get some good hype as long as it sticks to its roots. We all know reboots, prequels and remakes can be done horribly, but I have a good feeling about this one.
