20th Century Fox head Tom Rothman has revealed to
IESB, that there is talk of an 'Alien Prequel' with a possibility of Ridley Scott returning to redeem the franchise, Tom had to say this:
"There's been some talk. Ridley Scott, Ridley is right now working on Robin Hood, but I think he's toying with the idea and that would be great for us. I mean, it's always been a matter of, really, if you can get the originator to do it that would be the greatest thing, so I've got my fingers crossed, all of them."
He also discussed other franchises such as 'Predator's' calling Robert Rodriguez the "godfather" of the film.
