More news on the “Alien” prequel out of Ridley Scott from the recent “Robin Hood” junket that Universal decided to not invite us to, :P.
Sorry, we should say prequels, plural. That’s right, Scott — who revealed more details about the prequel this morning; another female protag, alien redesign, set 30 years before the original and more — corrected journos this afternoon (Hitfix) that the film would be, “Prequels, two films” and yes, they would inevitably be shot in 3D (Scott, always a technician and an unsentimental one seems to just realize that this is part of the game now, so why fight it, we sort of admire that wise, unfussy approach).
Apparently the two films won’t be shot back to back, but he hopes to shoot one of them later this year. Yes, despite the myriad projects that Scott has on his slate, more than a dozen in development, he hopes his “Alien” prequel, sorry, prequels is next.
