Get away from her you bitch!

That’s right, everyone’s favourite sci-fi flick starring Sigourney Weaver – Alien. (Yes, I’m aware that the quote is from Aliens but I was only a consonant away from being correct)

And just like with all great old movies, Hollywood is deeming it fit to destroy the whole franchise and start afresh by remaking the original Ridley Scott film.

Before the diehard fans start to panic, it is currently only a rumour which has been passed down from Fox. They hinted that there could be some reboots on the card, with commercials director Carl Erik Rinsch at the helm.

However, the slightly better news is that Ridley Scott has already been named as the producer alongside Tony Scott. Furthermore, other rumours have suggested that it may be an ‘origins’ film rather than a direct remake of the first extra terrestrial thriller. It follows that – despite it only being a rumour at present – there is some truth in this, cosnidering that Predator is being remade for next year.

If you’re curious about the new director then you should click here for a compilation of some of his stuff. All I can say is that I hope the pants are bigger this time.
