Looks like Ridley Scott got talking about the Alien Prequel and manages to spill that it will in fact be filmed in 3D, but not only that.
This will be the first of TWO Alien prequels.
According to one of many sites on the scene, HitFix, Scott confirmed a couple of things, mainly that it will definitely be in 3D. “Of course it will be in 3D.” said Scott. That’s pretty rock solid confirmation if we ever heard one.
Even more interesting … as the junket was coming to a close, Devin Feraci of CHUD.com and the others mentioned to Scott that they’re all really curious as to what kind of a prequel he has on tap for everyone to which Scott replied, “Prequels. Two films,” leading up to the events in the original Alien.
So there you have it, the prequel leading up to the events of Alien will the first of two.
Given that he talks about how non-digital the effects of Alien were, it would be interesting if he would take on the project using oldschool techniques, but given that he is kicking this off in 3D, I doubt they would go so rough.
Shame really. Would be neat to see a return to oldschool effects, especially for Alien.
