BOCfan Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Whilst it's a story that probably doesn't need to be told, original Alien Director Ridley Scott has confirmed he'll be stepping in to take the reins on Alien 5. The story is set to a prequel, which will be about how the alien craft that crash landed on the planet in the original movie came to be there. I'm kind of meh about this, as the mystique of that ship and how it came to be there might be best left to the imagination. Still, Scott as the helm, rather than some hack, can only be a good thing.

IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

Joyrex Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Scott USED to be a good director, but now he's fallen into that 'hack' category, and this movie will probably prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I guess Scott hasn't directed anything great for a while, but I think he might do alright with this. I can't see him making a balls up on a par with the SW prequels.

Bob Dylan Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 People are so underestimating that Lucas' A New Hope is a superb movie of the highest caliber, it's like people saying "Godfather 2 > 1". Well yeah, but it's not like the first one sucks. Same for Episode 4. I mean it's STAR WARS. Nobody can dis the original one. Anyway going back to Ridley, the long version of Kingdom of Heaven is great. He still has it, he just needs a good script. That's his problem (lack of quality assurance in the script he directs his films with), and something many people underweight. People don't get how the script makes or breaks a movie. There is no good movie that has a bad script, it only becomes a flashing director's work, but nothing more. But there are bad movies with good scripts.
