Ridley Scott chats 'Alien' prequel

As you may know, Ridley Scott is working on prequel to "Alien," and the folks at MTV recently got to talk to the man and asked him a bunch of questions about where this project will be heading. Let's find out.

"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," he told MTV. He said the project is rolling.

On whether he will consult with original alien designer, H.R. Giger, Scott said, "Yeah, he's still around. Once I get more serious and get going, and the big wheels start turning, we'll certainly talk."
