The famous director of the
Alien franchise gave some hints about the
Alien prequel in an interview with The Independent.
"The films will be really tough, really nasty," says Scott of the proposed two-part prequel, which he says will take place 30 years before the first film,
"It's the dark side of the moon. We are talking about gods and engineers. Engineers of space. And were the aliens designed as a form of biological warfare? Or biology that would go in and clean up a planet?"
Two prequel films are being prepped to shoot back-to-back in 3D. The original script comes from Jon Spaihts with Damon Lindelof currently doing touch-ups.
