Alien reboot talk

A couple of days ago, we told you about a rumor thrown out into the internets about an ALIEN reboot in the works. Considering we hear ALIEN reboot/sequel/remake talk every few weeks, most of us probably just brushed it off as another bullshit rumor. Well, hold on to your nutsacs, gentlemen, (and whatever you hold on to when you’re shocked/dismayed, ladies), because that ALIEN reboot is real. And it’s a prequel. Collider recently spoke to Tony Scott, whose brother Ridley directed the original classic, who confirmed that it’s a prequel and the director. Check it:

Collider: 20th Century Fox is talking about remaking or redoing the original Alien. What’s going on with that?

Tony Scott: Yes, Carl Rinsch is going to do the prequel to Alien. He’s one of our directors at our company.

Other than saying he promises a “kick-ass” film, Scott doesn’t go into much more detail but you can click HERE to read everything else he had to say. Strike it back below, people.
