It’s been quite awhile since we first heard rumblings about an ALIEN prequel film. Shortly afterward, it was discovered that Ridley Scott, director of the original ALIEN, would be directing the film. Suddenly, all worry and fears were replaced with extreme excitement. It was a truly unexpected move, but such a great idea.
Today we have another expected move, as it’s been revealed that this prequel will be in 3D, just like every other movie these days. Check out what Art Director Roger Christian had to say about the project after the jump!
“Ridley told me some of his ideas when we were here in Toronto. He has a very clear understanding of where this should go. They kind of stopped dead one of the greatest horror franchises there’s ever been, and it had legs to go on. So I’m hoping he’ll revive another three. The world certainly wants it, and the fans want it – everybody.”
As far as the 3D confirmation goes, Christian aptly said, “Ridley’s doing the next Alien in 3D.”
I think that this is going to be the ALIEN movie everyone has been waiting for. Christian is totally right, there hasn’t been a real ALIEN movie (that means I’m excluding ALIEN VS. PREDATOR), since 1997’s ALIEN RESURRECTION. I think we are due a new ALIEN movie, and if Ridley wants to do it in 3D, I’m not going to complain.

I'm curious why we're evening making news with “[Blank] will be in 3D” anymore. More pressing news would be “What won't be in 3D”.

I agree for the most part, with this it was mainly about the fact that the movie actually is happening. It had been a while since anything has been said about this project that I think is very exciting, and the news about it just happens to be that it is in 3D.

ah, I see. I can dig it. Though, my thoughts on the sudden proliferation of 3D adaptations remains the same, and I may have gone more with “ALIEN prequel still on! And in 3D!” News in their proper order of importance, right? 😉 Mad respect, though. Keep on keepin it real, J Jonah Jameson Mulhern.
