Im delighted with this news! As much as I would love to see an alien movie with Giger, I HATED the idea of a prequel. For me the mystery and unknown were THE best elements of the original alien, never seeing the Space Jockey, not knowing what he is, what happened to the crew, what alien is and all that. Those elements made this movie and created the biggest terror. Thankfully, the mystery will be preserved now. Im very looking forward to this new project, go Ridley
