Alien Prequel To Be 3D?

[Corporal Hicks]

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.

Eh... 3D isn't a must for me, but at least we have some more news on it, sorta.

Alien Prequel 3D = epic fail!

Its really nice to hear more on this one I love me the Predator yes but I also love me the Alien. Scott is finishing up RobinHood now. And while he's attached to many,MANY,projects at this point. I'm pretty hopeful that this one may be, if not the movie after next, his very next one.

I know it must be only me...but I so would like to see the Na'vi from Pandora being used as host for the aliens and see how it turns out... sick I know. But they would cry back "sky people" after encountering Predators or the Aliens... And before someone bites at me why I talk nonsense the 3D gave the idea. Since its so connected to Avatar nowadays.

Just to have an Alien 5 would be awesome, as long as theres no 2 brothers doing it, unless your surnames Scott

i do enjoy the "...revive another three.." comment. yes it seemed to have been made, extremely, off-handedly but still delightful.

Whats the problem with 3D?

Personally, I like the news. So lets see how Scott will handle the prequel.

I love 3D so I don't mind.

I don't get the "revive another 3" comment? Do they mean 3 more movies?

[Ephemeriis]

A few months back I would have thought this was rubbish.

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.
