This interview makes me worry.
It sounds like he's not really bothered what other peole want, and it's more about him just experimenting with the story (which presumably is attempting to erase 'Alien 3' and 'Alien: Resurrection'; meaning he lied previously).
'Producing' doesn't really mean much, as far as I know, in terms of input of content. But I'm not keen on Ridley Scott producing it. After 'Prometheus' I'd like him to not be involved with the 'Alien' franchise any more.
"I'm such a visual person, that the narrative of stuff is neither here nor there for me" - ?? No. Don't make an 'Alien' movie if you aren't interested in good narrative. I really hope that was just referencing games.
On a kind of side note, I wouldn't call 'Alien: Isolation' perfect. I think there was a lot wrong with it. It was great visually and in terms of sound. But otherwise - eh.
