Slash films is reporting that Fox studios really wants Ridley Scott to direct an "Aliens" prequel. This is the man that brought us "Gladiator" and "American Gangster", the man can direct! But I don't think he'll do it. I think he's a bit more on the dramatic picture side to do an action adventure movie. "Gladiator" had its action sequences but it was to compliment the story. What new, refreshing story is he going to tell? It's going to be a looping of characters we've seen before, mixed with robotic aliens and CGI. Either way, Fox has its work cut out for it. Scott is busy working on "Robin Hood" with Russell Crowe, which promises a whole new take on the story. Either way, we'll have to wait and see what happens.
