After months of speculation, Variety is reporting that the Alien prequel is definitely on, with original Alien helmer Ridley Scott set to direct.
Twentieth Century Fox has also hired Jon Spaihts to write the script, which will precede the first Alien. Annoyingly the report doesn't go into any more detail about the plot.
I was really pleased to read this am hoping it will be really good, it should be with the original director of alien involved, i was suprised to read his last sci-fi film was blade runner in 1982, so is along time since he has done one
