Only a few weeks ago it was reported that commercial director Carl Rinsch was set to direct the Alien prequel, but now that may not be the case. According to Entertainment Weekly and their sources 20th Century Fox will only movie forward with the Alien prequel if Ridley Scott directs. It was first rumored that Scott would direct the prequel, but that rumor was debunked when Carl Rinsch was announced as the director.
I know I would surely rather see Ridley Scott direct, but that seems unlikely. He’s got so many films on his plate and it just seems as if he would never get around to doing it. I thought Carl Rinsch was a fine choice since Ridley Scott wanted him to direct. His commercial work is also rather impressive. Whether or not Scott does direct (which he wont) I want to see his name on this at least as a producer to ensure that it wont totally suck like the shameless AVP movies.
Do you want an Alien Prequel only with Ridley Scott directing?
