i wouldn't get too excited. Everything that was positive about Alien, from the drawn out suspense to choosing not to expose the monster for long enough to allow the viewers imagination to scare the hell out of them WONT work anymore....... obviously, everyone is to familiar with the franchise to be scared by it, especially us lot.
Aliens worked because it wasent a remake, it was different, an action movie if you like. Alien 3 was essentially a remake of alien and it flopped, alien rez was essentially a remake of aliens and it completely bombed, Alien 5 ........... I doubt ridley would remake any movie, but where the hell is he going to go with this, excluding the nerds on this site (like me) the general viewer does not give a flying fuck about space jockeys and alien eggs. The movie will be exclusive to specific viewers (like us) juts like avp and it will suck, critically and commercially.
Speaking as probably the biggest ridely scott fan boy in the world, hes IS unfortunately VERY susceptible to making the odd flop, i cant see this going any other way. Hope im wrong, its difficult to say anything atm though, these are juts my initial thoughts.
Motives, my guess is hes been scared of this job for 31 years and has finnaly decided waht the fuck..... im 71 years old.
He probbaly watched Moon and though, this IS possible lol
