Not knowing how or why or what had happened ratcheted up the suspense even more. Now if it is told it kind of takes 25% of the air out of the original Alien. Robert T.

Yeah, like we have to know what a terrible childhood the space jockey had that led to his bitter end.

I think it was only the toy line where it got ridiculous, with aliens born from rhinos and having horns and whatnot. I can't think of a movie alien that deviated much farther than the dog alien, and even that was just an alien that ran around on all fours... it still looked like an alien. A perfect Monster has no end...

(Scott said as much in interviews at the time.) Have you read the Eric Red screenplay for Alien 3? Holy cats, talk about a mess, with alien cows and alien mosquitos (I kid you not). In the end, all the aliens fuse into a living planet or something. It's not nearly as wild and interesting as it sounds, believe me. “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Joseph Priestley

Regarding the piece on Scott saying he'll only use 3-D, well, let's be realistic, he's in his 70's and doesn't crank out a movie a year, so he's probably only going to make a few more movies, and will probably make them very special. “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Joseph Priestley

Jul 30 11 3:02 AM More My Recent Posts	delgadosaur, I didn't know Wilde was up for this. I haven't seen TRON but I saw Dr Acula's avatar and she is indeed a hottie. Rapace, well, she's got that whole series of films she's in, she doesn't do much for me but, then, neither does Harry Dean Stanton, and that casting in an ALIEN film turned out all right. “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Joseph Priestley

Aug 7 11 3:12 PM More My Recent Posts	My resolve not to look lasted a whole second. I was not disappointed. My hopes for this are even higher now. They've really gotten that '70's Heavy Metal on-screen for the first time' look perfectly. “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Joseph Priestley

Nov 9 11 1:39 PM More My Recent Posts	Tidbits on the new movie: http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/11/07/ridley-scott-spills-the-secrets-of-prometheus/ The highly anticipated “Prometheus,” filmed in 3-D and starring Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron, is scheduled to be released by News Corp.’s 20th Century Fox in June 2012. Scott and the cast members have been pretty tight-lipped about the high-profile project, but in an interview with Speakeasy, Scott shared some new details about “Prometheus”: – The central metaphor of “Prometheus” is about a “higher being” (Scott’s words) who challenges the gods, and the gods don’t want to give him fire. “Fire is our first form of technology,” Scott says, and so by taking fire, the higher being is punished “in perpetuity in a horrible fashion.” Much like the story of the mythological god, Prometheus, who stole fire from Zeus and for his actions was bound to a rock with an eagle eternally devouring his liver. (Let’s hope things turn out differently for our higher being…) – Scott is especially excited about the story of “Prometheus” — you can hear the enthusiasm in his voice when he discusses the film. The screenplay was written by Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts. “I think the reason why I haven’t attempted science fiction in a number of years is because I haven’t really come across a script that I really liked,” Scott says. “This developed and came out extremely well.” – The last eight minutes of the “Prometheus” story evolve into “a pretty good DNA of the ‘Alien’ one.” – We confirmed with 20th Century Fox that Sigourney Weaver, star of the first four “Alien” films, doesn’t make a cameo in “Prometheus.” A perfect Monster has no end...
