Alien: Ridley says nothing, internet still wants to spoon him

In case you’d forgotten in the last 10 minutes what Ridley Scott was doing on any of his 10 planned projects, the fine folks at Empire were kind enough to corner him on the red carpet at the premiere of his daughter Jordan’s film Cracks. Given 20 seconds, they asked him what was doing with his threatened Alien prequel.

“It’s a brand new box of tricks…We know what the road map is, and the screenplay is now being put on paper. The prequel will be a while ago. It’s very difficult to put a year on Alien, but [for example] if Alien was towards the end of this century, then the prequel story will take place thirty years prior.”

Imagine him sort of trailing away down the line toward more important looking media as he non-answers the question. It’s funnier that way.

Just to recap: It’s new. There is a road map. Ideas are being put into words on a page. The story takes place earlier than the original film. You know…’cause it’s a prequel.
