Re: Official 3D ALIEN Prequel Discussion Thread
I think it could work too, perhaps it won't be scary, I just don't think theres any fear factor left in these creatures....unless Scott takes the Alien back to the 'evil' entity that many perceive from his first film and away from the giant insect treatment that Cameron changed it to. However personally I'm not sure I subscribe to the idea that the Alien raped Lambert or anything like that, nor have I ever really had a problem with what Cameron did - indeed Aliens is probably my favourite in the series.
In any case with Scott doing it, even though his recent output hasn't been amazing since Gladiator and Black Hawk Down, its got to be better than anything anyone else would give us.
I can't see him getting involved if there wasn't a much better story to be told, a better script and better characters to be played by better actors.
