Tony Scott has confirmed previous rumors of a possible new “Alien” film in the works. Scott confirmed that commercial and music video director Carl Erik Rinsch, one of he and Ridley’s auspicious protege’s, will be helming the project and added that the film will be a prequel to the existing franchise rather than a reboot.
Hopes are for the film to begin shooting by year’s end. Interestingly, “Alien 3” was also the feature directorial debut for a music video director (Fincher). Take from that what you may.
Rinsch reel is impressive and /Film has taken the time to put a bunch of his work together. [Collider]
