Well if you all think about it - it could be a cool story.In Alien they discovered a `crashed`ship which was discovered by the crew of the Nostromo....Whose bosses were...The Company... Who knew this race of aliens existed and possibly established contact... So deliberately did this in the safest way possible...To get specimens onto one of their distant cargo ships to be studied...You get the picture?Would`nt it be great to see exactly how they achieved this in the first place?
Of course im ho More

An Alien prequel can not have humans in it, or at least any contact between the aliens and the humans, the humans and the aliens did not come in to contact till the first film, Alien, on LV426 which was an unsurveyed planet. forget Alien V Predator. The film should be purely the space jockey and his kind coming into contact with the aliens and ending with their ship crashed on LV426, simple, this would be far better to have a film with no humans.

I hope that he doesn't do the whole "Star wars" thing. Pretend that he's always known what the prequel should be, allow a huge fan base, then destroy half of what became fact. The Alien story is now an established universe. It would be wrong to change anything that the fans would be upset about. Sort of like the way George Lucas dismissed a huge amount of the Star Wars universe! Anyone remember how Boba Fett got out of the Sarlacc pitt? my point is that with a 'Franchise' as big as th More

Eh? Prequels, the stupidest concept in the movie world get the Ridley Scott treatment and it's not even the prequel that he's been mooting for 30 years???
In an infinite universe with infinite possibilities why do we have to go back and fuck with all that beautiful mystery?
Not to mention instead of interesting mature character actors we're bound to be handed good looking, teenage cannon fodder.
And as for Scott, For every Alien theres a GI Jane. More

I've read the script, it's about Ripley in her teens, although now she looks like Jessica Alba. She rides a motorbike and is a rebel. Alien eggs are found in a cave. Action ensues. Afterwards Ripley bangs her head and forgets everything. She signs up to join some space truckers.
Oh and there's a talking pie. More

We see Paris being destroyed at the end of "Alien Resurrection" alternate ending. It was the FIRST time ever we see EARTH... on "Aliens", why set up "The Gateway". There is an intergalactic war upon us... where during the years of the saga.. a war, which explains the reason of the 'company' fascination with the xenomorph. After the events of "Alien 3", the company found a way to stop this war but it came back.. and we needed to Resurrect Ripley to find More

Sir Ridley back at the helm?? You know this is going to be dark, suspenseful and one hell of a movie!!
I'm intrigued as to the story though - I mean, one of the things that always bugged me was how the company knew the aliens were onj LV426 in the first place to make the Nostromo stop and check it out.
Maybe this is where this one is going - an original encounter years before the Nostromo, that leads to the company thinking - I gotta get me one of those... More

Just like "Alien" brought a new generation of terror, I think the prequel should do just the same. Bring elements that we fear in today's life and bring it to the elements of the Alien 'story'.
The only thing that I have to say is that a PREQUEL is not needed. Ripley now being half alien and half human at Resurrection, is the best ticket to finding out where the aliens come from. She needs further development as to where her loyalty lies and Resurrection was just a tease..brief More

Am I excited about the prequel? DAMN RIGHT I AM! Ridley Scott, with his one-two double-whammy of Alien and Blade Runner, is the king of sci-fi. Now Kubrick's dead, nobody else can do sci-fi as good as Scott. This is his first movie in the genre since Blade Runner. Even if the script is crap, Ridley Scott never disappoints with his magic eye for detail. My mouth is salivating like an Alien Queen at the thought of what he will deliver this time. Bring it on!

I recently watched the alien films for the first time. I watched them out of order (Alien then Alien3 then Aliens) and haven't seen resurrection yet. But I'm totally in love with the series, I didn't even mind alien3 (I watched the special edition cut). But the highlight of the series for me was the marines in aliens so if the Alien prequel has marines in it Imma be first in line! It probably won't though, Scott may give it the claustrophobic horror feel of the original as opposed to the action More

So a human meeting the xenos prior to the Nostromo crew would work in fact if 1 person survives it could serve as to how the company new the ship was there. Now if you recall In In Alien the Nostromo picked up a distress call and was sent to investigate but ashes orders state bring back alien life form crew expendable. So Dallas’s crew may not have been the first to encounter the xe More

Right - LV-426... Are the co-ordinates by Weyland-Yutani interplanetary map before they began terraforming. The planet was originally called Acheron (According to the original Alan Dean Foster novelisation and Cameron "Alien II" drafts from '85).

Elephantine aliens? As is said in the original film they were grown out of the chair presumably as a bio-engineered way of piloting the ship
The question for the new film (if they must go there) is who grew them and why?
I'm guessing that Weyland Yutani is merely hellbent on repeating the mistakes of the past that had the Xenos being used as weapons.

As a big Alien fan I can say that I have always hope for a 5th alien film to right the wrongs of the aweful (but somehow enjoyable) 4th film. And though David Fincher is possibley my favourite director, I really do find Alien 3 horrid to watch. So fingers crossed, the idea of putting a human story in does sound nessasary but with today's technology they could easily do a film with some major character created with CGI to stay true to Space Jocky seen in the first Alien. So I hope that character More
