Alien 5: We're Not Done Yet

[dex]

So the next Alien will be a prequel. Hmm. I just wonder if we'll get to see a young Ripley (I'm sure she kicked the bully's ass in 3rd grade or something like that; eminently compatible with target demographic, that.)...
or a young alien. Heck, if the video game sells well, we can have one movie for each one.

I'm actually much more excited about this than I probably should be. At least it is not another AvP movie, and Ridley Scott is involved.

Here is a interesting article from Den of Geek that examines the narrative hurdles a prequel movie will have to face:
