'Alien' Prequel To Take Place Prior To 'Alien'
October 29, 2009 Comments
Big news about Ridley Scott's Alien prequel. It's going to take place before the original! Specifically, about thirty years prior:
“It’s a brand new box of tricks,” said Sir Ridley. “We know what the road map is, and the screenplay is now being put on paper. The prequel will be a while ago. It’s very difficult to put a year on Alien, but [for example] if Alien was towards the end of this century, then the prequel story will take place thirty years prior.”
I just hope this doesn't turn into something like The Wedding Singer, where it's just a string of jokes about how funny the fashion of the 2970s were.
