A movie I'm not waiting for. I never liked any of the Alien movies. I'd rather watch The Thing (Carpenters version). Thank god the new Thing movie aint going to be a remake but a prequel instead.

by the way i wonder if u know something about a movie cause i don't know the name.it goes like this:

i saw it when i was a kid probably between 92-95.it was about some scientists dudes working underwater on a sub or a underwater station or something like that.but somehow a creature made it's a way on board.i don't know if it was a experiment of theirs or a natural thing but it was something with tentacles if i remember corectly and moved through the vent sistems.by the end of the movie a couple of people made it to the surface but the creature was still after them.i don't know the name of the movie.sounds familiar to anyone?basically it was like alien but underwater lol.

oh it was not the abys.this creature was solid mass and it was killing everything around it

Where the project is at in the writing stage:

Ridley Scott: As we speak, I've got a pile of pages next to me; it's like the fourth draft. It's a work in progress, but we're not dreaming it up anymore. We know what the story is. We're now actually trying to improve the three acts and make the characters better, build it up to something [we can shoot]. It's a work in progress, but we're actually making the film. There's no question about it, we're going to make the film.

A bit on the plot:

Scott: It's set in 2085, about 30 years before Sigourney [Weaver's character Ellen Ripley]. It's fundamentally about going out to find out 'Who the hell was that Space Jockey?' The guy who was sitting in the chair in the alien vehicle — there was a giant fellow sitting in a seat on what looked to be either a piece of technology or an astronomer's chair. Remember that? And our man [Tom Skerritt as Captain Dallas] climbs up and says "There's been an explosion in his chest from the inside out — what was that?" I'm basically explaining who that Space Jockey — we call him the Space Jockey — I'm explaining who the space jockeys were.


On Sigourney Weaver's participation:

Scott: It will be before she was born! Well, the main character [in the prequel] will be a woman, yeah. We're thinking it could go down that route, yeah. When I started the original "Alien," Ripley wasn't a woman, it was a guy. During casting, we thought, "Why don't we make it a woman?"


On creating new aliens, and whether he'll consult original "Alien" designer H.R. Giger:

Scott: I think, I have to design — or redesign — earlier versions of what these elements are that led to the thing you finally see in "Alien," which is the thing that catapults out of the egg, the face-hugger. I don't want to repeat it. The alien in a sense, as a shape, is worn out. (Giger's) still around. Once I get more serious and get going, and the big wheels start turning, we'll certainly talk. And maybe we'll come up with something completely different.
