D9 was amazing, but nothing like Alien. Or Predator. Just a super slick Sci-Fi movie with story and character.

Latest name news - 'Paradise'
https://www.latinoreview.com/news/alien-prequel-gets-a-name-paradise-11929
The official name of the Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel will be “Paradise,” according to Vulture.
Vulture also stated, “’Paradise’ reboots the original ‘Alien’ franchise, in that the story follows a group of space travelers who encounter a monstrous alien creature that picks them off, one by one.”
As for the push back release dates for the two-part prequel to 2013 and 2014—it is not true.
Sources at Fox told Vulture that Scriptflags.com’s report was a misunderstanding about the efforts to cast Leonardo DiCaprio for the prequels.
“Initially, there was some talk at Scott Free of pushing back production to accommodate DiCaprio’s schedule, so that he could shoot Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar Hoover biopic back-to-back with Scott’s two part ‘Alien’ prequel,” wrote Vulture.
In addition, Vulture also mentioned that there was interest in actor Michael Fassbender to play “David,” an earlier version of Bishop’s android character. And actress Michelle Yeoh is being considered for “Vickers” part, a forty something, tough and sexy woman.
Other characters will include an older businessman and unnamed “Engineer 1,” which will be played by a six-foot-five-inch actor, but will be entirely CGI like Gollum in “The Lord of the Rings” film.
There is no official casting announcements at this time.

Seems like it could be pretty cool or an epic fail.

.......what? Unless "engineer 1" is in fact a space jockey what the hell is the need for a CG character?

The title is 'different', but the rest of the news is great.
"Engineer 1" HAS to be a Jockey.

There's no need to start a new thread.

Re: Alien Prequel – Paradise – discussion thread.
The Alien prequel has been christened Paradise, and will begin production in early March 2011.
Ridley Scott, director of the 1979 classic Alien, has been attached to "Ridley Scott's Unnamed Alien Prequel" for a while now, but we can now refer to the film by its real title. Paradise will take the Alien franchise back to its roots, people dying one by one at the hands of a big scary alien. There was talk of production being pushed back a few years, but the film is now set to begin production in early March 2011.
The shifts in the filming schedule are reportedly Leonardo DiCapiro's fault. Scott was attempting to cast the Inception actor, and was considering pushing Paradise back to accommodate the actor's schedule, as DiCaprio is already set to film a J. Edgar Hoover biopic with Clint Eastwood. The Paradise schedule as announced makes it look like DiCaprio isn't attached to the project.
In other rumored casting news, Vulture reports "Noomi Rapace has been the front-runner for the role of 'Elizabeth Shaw,' the film's main character," and that casting has stalled for the role of "'David,' who's actually an android, an earlier version of the Bishop 341-B character that Lance Henriksen famously played in Aliens." Scott was reportedly looking at Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, Jonah Hex) to fill the role, but the actor proved too expensive for Scott's as-yet-unspecified budget.

All the news sound great.
I would've actually liked DiCaprio in an Alien film, might bring in a big crowd.
