Ridley Scott recently had a chat with EMPIRE in which he revealed that work has begun on the Alien prequel script with Jon Spaihts doing the first draft.

He also gave a couple of hints what we can expect when the movie comes out…

“It’s a brand new box of tricks. We know what the road map is, and the screenplay is now being put on paper. The prequel will be a while ago. It’s very difficult to put a year on Alien, but, for example, if Alien was towards the end of this century, then the prequel story will take place thirty years prior.”

Um, okay…

Not much real info then?
