No Alien For New Prequel Films, Says Ridley Scott

Get set for some disappointing news, kids. We won’t be seeing the (terrifying) Xenomorph or face huggers, so prominent in earlier films, in the up-coming Alien prequel movies.

British Director and all round genius, Ridley Scott says audiences won’t be seeing the classic, black armoured cretin because the notion is too “worn out”.

In an interview with the Screen Daily, Scott explains; “The film will be really tough, really nasty. 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 actually go in and clean up a planet? It will take place in the years before that, when they first come across this thing on a planet called Zeta Reticuli”

Scott continued “... the thing about Alien vs Predator is, I know it's commerce, but what a pity... I think, therefore, I have to design - or redesign - earlier versions of what these elements are that led to the thing you finally see in Alien, which is the thing that catapults out of the egg, the face-hugger. I don't want to repeat it. The alien in a sense, as a shape, is worn out."

Scot announced to Collider.com earlier this month that there would be not one but two new Alien films. “It’ll be two. Prequel one and two and then Alien 1”.
