[Lt_Ripley]

It seems like plans for a remake of a sci-fi classic has hit a little snag. According to Entertainment Weekly (as reported by The Playlist), it seems that director Carl Rinsch might not be at the helm of the new Alien prequel.

The site is reporting that 20th Century Fox is reluctant to greenlight the film with Rinsch, primarily a TV commercial director, at the helm and wants to have director Ridley Scott at the helm. Rinsch has worked for Scott's company, RSA, for years now and the site also claims that Rinsch not only works for Scott's company, but is romantically involved with his daughter, Jordan.

Neither Scott nor Rinsch responded to the site's inital report.

While this movie could be really awesome if it captures the feel of the first.... I feel they would be making a grave mistake not to include the Ripley character and Sigourney Weaver. She is an essential part of this franchise.

Was I the only one who liked Alien 3?

Man, you are not alone...I thought 3 was one of the best of the series.

In Alien, they show a crashed alien ship that the Aliens stowed away on. The remains of the pilot is shown very briefly.

I wouldnt mind if they would base a new alien movie on one of the books of for example Steve Perry.
In those books aliens invade earth after the events of the movies. Short novels but fun to read.

What i'd like to see in a prequel is a look at the origins of the aliens, perhaps a planet where they came from and how the ship with the eggs came to be where it was in the original movie. It needs to be dark and suspenseful and there should be absolutely no predators, period.

While i'd like to see Ripley in it i'm not sure how they'd fit her in seen as her first encounter with them wasn't until the events of the first movie which would presumably be set after the new one given that its a prequel.

I remember reading somewhere that it was supposed to be a planet that developed a purely carnivorous ecosystem.

An Alien king would be cool to see...

Would be but impossible since the xenomorph queens are A-sexual.

In regards to the prequel I think the best way they should go would be to return to the formula of the first while expanding upon it for a new generation.... What made the first movie so amazing was that it was actually scary for guys, the movie attacked the audience sexually something that hadn't been done before like this.... What guy wants to be face raped and impregnated with an alien chest burster.

Alien more then anything is a horror movie and the prequel/reboot hopefully also takes this approach and makes the aliens scary again.

It would be nice to see them on there home planet and to see how they came to be, and on another note, Anybody hear if there ever going to make a Jeepers Creepers 3 ?
