Ridley Scott Plans ‘Alien’ Prequels


This is a guest post by Gunter Jameson from Classes and Careers.

The movie Alien opened in the US on May 25, 1975, to mixed reviews. Although much of the science fiction community loved it, it was panned by many other critics who said that it was a just a bunch of special effects and cheap tricks that lacked for real storytelling. Well, those critics are in the minority now. Alien is now known as one of the best science fiction movies ever made which has spawned 3 sequels and a number of other Alien-inspired movies like Alien vs. Predator. At the time of its release, Ridley Scott, the director was a virtual unknown in the world of cinema. But now the 3-time academy-award nominee has one of the most prestigious and most successful careers in Hollywood.
