‘Alien’ franchise is getting revived by Twentieth-Century-Fox. They have engaged Jon Spaihts to write its prequel and Ridley Scott comes back to direct the film.
The movie is planned as a prequel to the landmark film of 1979, which was directed by Scott. The story will precede that movie, in which the members of the crew of a spacecraft coming back to Earth are roused up and were asked to investigate a distress message coming from a planetoid close by. The crew members belatedly find out that the signal produced by the spaceship was actually a tip off.
Well, it could be hard but if they can make it, it will surely look good, even that it's not better than the first one.
Honestly, most original movies are much better than their sequels.
