Robert Sanchez at IESB.net ambushed Tom Rothman of Fox at the Wolverine Premier in Arizona to ask about some of the projects coming down the line. Robert asks him about returning to the Alien franchise for a prequel, and this is Rothman’s answer:
Rothman said of the possible Aliens film, “There’s been some talk. Ridley Scott, Ridley is right now working on Robin Hood, but I think he’s toying with the idea and that would be great for us. I mean, it’s always been a matter of, really, if you can get the originator to do it that would be the greatest thing, so I’ve got my fingers crossed, all of them.”
The article also hits up on some other key tidbits that I will fire out bullet point style
– Robert Sanchez of IESB has Sources.
– Robert Rodriguez will be rebooting Predators (Rothman calls him Creative Godfather -writing/producing)
– Daredevil Reboot is eventually going to happen
– Wolverine Stingers will hint at what films will come next in the X-Franchise
– No comment on Reboot Fantastic Four
– You better be at Comic Con if you want to see more about Avatar.
The intersting quote by Rothman in the interview is that he describes Avatar as “THE movie that will change the way we see movies” but then continues to say that even if it wasn’t for the revolutionary effects and technological marvel, the real thing to look forward to is the “totally great kickass emotionally driven story”.
That makes me more excited for the movie than any of the tech advancements it promises to reveal.
