I don't know. I'm thinking that he might want to tell the story about the colony on LV-426, the terra formed planet that Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley returns to in the second film. We never really see how it all went down, thought we're given clues from the cast a few extra scenes in the collector's edition. It may even open up opportunities for a new story line if some of the colonists managed to make it off before the Colonial Marines are called in.

I mean, come on, who doesn't want to know what happened to the perosn that left that half eaten donut on their desk and who that chick is that gets torched by the marines?

Stay frosty, bitches.

omg the donut!
i must know the back story! he said, without an ounce of sarcasm, he typed with sarcasm.

actually, lv(lb?)-426 would be a great place to start.
as long as there are no stupid kids' names, like newt.
unless it was non-white child with a name like amphibia with lots of attitude.
(i know, i know, now that i typed it, some damned movie boss will make it happen just to fuck with us.)

Maybe he'll explore how the alien was a good gal at first, just cruisin' around the 'verse, looking for some tasty waves. Then her shit got all retarded and she crashed into a rock that had some pale assholes in clunky suits marching around. She tried to say hello (which is in fact achieved by the little "Greeter" living in her mouth) but they went batshit. She defended herself and made a home in their big iron living shell. Then she got hungry. Then Ripley showed up lookin' 10 kinds of delicious.

Roll credits.

Due to the never ending love I hold for the franchise, I'm going to wait to hear more before I get to ragey (what the hell has happened to me).

It'd had better not be game over, man!

Who would you rather administer last rites- Ridley Scott or the AVP crew?

Predictions:
1. Story: born/bred in a lab, transported, escapes, picks off crew one by one, crash lands, plucky last survivor sets off distress beacon before brutally killing self right in the face as the beasties close in, Aliens set up a nursery, six months later enter Nostromo. Roll credits.

2. Chances are it will STILL be the freshest film to come out of Hoarywood that year

3. I'll be there anyway

On the heels of the Alien review, I love this news!

The ship that sent out the distress call was an alien ship. And the crew, as evidenced by a fossilized cadaver, were large not-human-looking at all beings. I doubt they are going to make a movie without any humans in it.

Of course they they could change all that around and retroactively make them humans, which would be as annoying as fuck (and therefore more likely to occur).

Hopefully if the female lead is being menaced in her undies in the prequel they will have an actress who at least fills said undies out...

Sigourney does not have back...

Alien vs. Predator bullshittery

Hey now, at least the second one was rated R, and not some PG-13 piece of shit. You can't take two series Alien and Predator both of which had entirely R movies and then make one that combines the two with a PG-13 rating. Plus, when the fuck will they have a male lead? I mean I won't discount Weaver. But that PG-13 lead? Fuck, I had to look her up, Sanaa Lathan, was in no way badass enough to survive let alone get a gift from the Predators like Glover.

ON a side note. A prequel? Go fuck yourself in the ass Hollywood.

Jon Spaihts only has one credit on IMDB (and it's not in his bio page, either), "Passengers," which is "in development." Why this nobody's writing the "Alien" so-called prequel is beyond me (and pretty much anybody else it seems). I liked the Alien series in general until the AVP movies, but questions the need or validity of making a prequel. We already know what started the story. Do we need to know how the ship crashed on LV? And why bother going back to the colonization between Alien & Aliens? We know how that turns out. Weird.
