Empire got to have an exclusive chat with Ridley Scott about the Alien prequel, he revealed the story will take place thirty years prior to the original telling Empire:
“It’s a brand new box of tricks,” said Ridley. “We know what the road map is, and the screenplay is now being put on paper. The prequel will be a while ago. It’s very difficult to put a year on Alien, but [for example] if Alien was towards the end of this century, then the prequel story will take place thirty years prior.”
“I never thought I’d look forward to a sequel,” said Ridley. “But a prequel is kind of interesting. I’m looking forward to doing that.”
