Ridley Returns to Alien

Asian film magazine Famitsu Wave spoke with Director Ridley Scott recently and answered several questions about those old rumours that he's keen on doing another "Alien" movie. Mediasharx managed to transcribe the key quotes: What of the rumor of another Alien movie? Scott: We have been talking about doing another one for years. It's been a complex situation. At the end of the day, a studio has to be pleased, a core audience has to be pleased, and a director has to agree to all that. I am glad to say things are progressing... With you as Director? Scott: I don't think I'll be directing, but I will have some involvement. It'll probably be based on an idea I have, so I hope I'm asked to be involved. Can you talk about the idea? Scott: In broad terms, It's something for those folks that want to see Ridley's Journey come full circle and.. Does that take her to the home planet of the Aliens? Scott: She won't necessarily see the home planet, but you might... Do you know when this will happen? Scott: Fox are waiting to see how Aliens vs Predator does, and then they'll do the Alien movie, and I believe a Predator film too. Again, if I'm involved in it, great, if not, then that's luck of the draw.

Thanks to 'Marcus'.
