Ridley Scott's 'Alien' prequel in 3D?

It looks like Ridley Scott's untitled "Alien" prequel could end up hitting theaters in 3D. No, Scott didn't say that himself, but someone else did: "Alien" art-director Roger Christian when he spoke with Shadow Locked: "Ridley's doing the next Alien in 3D."

"Ridley told me some of his ideas when we were here in Toronto. He has a very clear understanding of where this should go. They kind of stopped dead one of the greatest horror franchises there's ever been, and it had legs to go on," he said.

Last thing I heard, Jon Spaihts was on board to write the script for the prequel. Scott's next film is "Robin Hood." To tell you the truth, this does not surprise me. Pretty much every genre or franchise (new or old) is heading to 3D, and so far, it has worked out well.
