It seems like plans for a remake of a sci-fi classic has hit a little snag. According to
Entertainment Weekly (as reported by
The Playlist), it seems that director Carl Rinsch might not be at the helm of the new
Alien prequel.
The site is reporting that 20th Century Fox is reluctant to greenlight the film with Rinsch, primarily a TV commercial director, at the helm and wants to have director Ridley Scott at the helm. Rinsch has worked for Scott's company, RSA, for years now and the site also claims that Rinsch not only works for Scott's company, but is romantically involved with his daughter, Jordan.
Neither Scott nor Rinsch responded to the site's inital report.

JA,
Ridley Scott(science fiction/horror film) & James Cameron(science fiction/action film) that would be a good combination. Have James direct and Ridley produce.
Nathan, James Cameron already has his projects properly lined up
If Avatar is a success, he states there will be another 2 installments and then he has Battle Angel Alita.
Which damn i want Battle Angel Alita, its such an awesome manga, right up Cameron's alley.
But Ridley Scott & James Cameron should callaborate for a 5th installment, or a sci-fi film, now that would be awesome.
LMAO, i never realised that at all, meh best thing about episode 1 was Darth Maul.....oh and Duel Of The Fates.
The history of the Aliens is outline briefly through out the comics.
But i'm definately down for a war on Earth involving the colonial marines, as for this was the actual original propsed idea for Aliens 5, the was on the net somewhere under the title 'Aliens: Invasion aka Aliens 5'
This franchise doesn't need a prequel...period, its works perfectly the way it is.
But if Ridley does get the helm, i doubt this will ever happen, a lot of directors, producers and screenwriters these days are saying they are doing this and that, but not sticking to it.
I think just because Fox lately has been doing a round after round of shit movies, they are trying to revive their old classics.
Scrap a prequel....Scrap a Remake.....Fox bring me a 5th installment.
And i'll be a happy bunny.
Where would the 5th installment be set though?
Earth or Space.....
if anyone can save the series its ridley.
