An Alien prequel?

It could be wonderful or terrible. Prequels are usually terrible, but it’s Ridley Scott’s baby, so maybe it’ll be okay. Maybe.

Yeah seems hit or miss, it does have Scott behind it going for it though. Honestly, what bothers me about all the prequels and remakes we’re seeing is there are so many great ideas out there left to be untapped and also a number of books that could be adapated for film. I read Frank McCourt’s second book, Tis over the summer and I really think it could make a good movie.
