Fox Wants Ridley Scott to Direct Alien Prequel

9 June 2009 11:32 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

It was announced last month that another Alien movie was in the works, with initial word stating that it would be a reboot. However, not long after that announcement, word came that the next Alien would be a prequel and not a reboot as previously reported. On top of that, brothers Ridley (who directed the original Alien) and Tony Scott were to be attached as producers, with commercials director Carl Erik Rinsch at the helm.

However, even though the project still seems to be a-go, the big guns at 20th Century Fox are reportedly not happy with Ridley not directing the Alien prequel.

Aykroyd Talks Ghostbusters 3

A third Ghostbusters movie has been speculated about, rumored about, talked about for years. To hear Dan Aykroyd talk, rumor may finally becoming reality and ghosts may be getting busted once more come Christmas.

For starters, the film could be shooting as early as this winter. Also, original director Ivan Reitman won't be behind the camera. As Aykroyd puts it, Reitman is too busy as a "super producer" to direct the film. Considering Reitman's last three outings behind the camera were My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Evolution, and Six Days, Seven Nights, him not directing might be for the best. Aykroyd is pushing for original Ghostbuster Harold Ramis to direct.

A: It’s definitely on, but it’s still very early in the process. “As part of our Showtime deal, we were sworn to secrecy,” Perry tells the Flying Monkey. “We were dying – it was hard to keep the news inside!”

Perry did bring Stan Lee onto the Glbt panel at the San Diego ComicCon as a “surprise guest,” but all they were able to say is that they’d worked out a “partnership” — which resulted in much speculation that that might mean a movie or a graphic novel.
