With Adrien Brody and possibly Topher Grace I’m just hoping it watchable.

And, unlike the standard sequels, you don’t have to worry about resigning the lead characters to potentially high contracts.

That’s the only reason I can see to green light stuff like an “Alien” prequel.

Ridley Scott, director of the 1979 original, has signed on with 20th Century Fox to create a prequel to the series. His company Scott Free will also produce the film.

I guess three sequels plus the two Aliens vs. Predator movies just wasn’t enough.
