Alien Prequel – Paradise? – discussion thread
Now we can stop calling it the Alien prequel.
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.
Thats spot-on for me.
