Prometheus marks Ridley Scott’s return to the Alien universe. In an upcoming issue of Empire the director reveals his passion to return to explore the back story especially the Space Jockey – an obsession of mine too.
“[I’ve wanted to revisit it for] years! Years, years, years,” he stresses of Alien‘s space traveller subplot. “I always wondered when they did [Aliens] 2,3 and 4 why they hadn’t touched upon that, instead of evolving into some other fantastic story. They missed the biggest question of them all: who’s the big guy? And where were they going? And with what? Why that cargo? There’s all kinds of questions.”
Prometheus is out June 1st. The Empire issue is out March 29th.
CARGO!! He called it CARGO!
Exactly! Space Jockey was transporting those nasty buggers! Maybe his race was using them as bio-weapons! Just like ‘the company’ wanted to
What we need is an excellent Alien 5 with Sigourney Weaver made by Ridley Scott or James Cameron (I don’t like the hguohtt of David Fincher touching another Alien movie even though it wasn’t his fault..).
What did you think of Resurrection? Weaver makes any movie work.
