There is an article up at Shadowlocked confirming Ridley’s new Alien prequel will be shot in 3D:
“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.”
The article only says briefly that Ridley confirmed it to Roger Christian and talks a fair bit about Christian. With Avatar having recently brought 3D into the mainstream, it may not be such a bad thing. I’ll let you guys decide. Thanks to Darkoo for the heads up.
I don't want it. What's the point, really? It's all about money.
Soon people are gonna say that a movie, reguardless if it's good or not, will say the film will suck cause it's not 3-D.
But hey, with Ridley directing this film, I'm confident fans will get what they want.. after a long, 30 year wait, you guys deserve it.
Holy s***!
ps it is good to hear more news on the prequel.
the mans a genius of a director
epin WIN
After seeing Avatar, I think 3D might work pretty well. The graphics themselves were very convincing, and all the hardware those humans had kept reminding me of Aliens anyway.
Personally, I like the news. So lets see how Scott will handle the prequel.
