Ridley Scott
Ridley Scott has revealed that his new Alien movie is going to be a tough movie.
The 3D movie will be set five years before his original movie and it will be his first science fiction film since Blade Runner.
Speaking to Screen Daily the filmmaker said the movie is 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, he added.
"And it will ask who was that guy in the first film lying in a chair with his chest blown outwards when they first go into the giant spacecraft."
The film will also be shot in 3D and Scott is spurred on by the success and achievements of James Cameron.
"Jim's raised the bar and I've got to jump to it," said the 72-year-old. "He's not going to get away with it."
