Ridley Scott talks 'Prometheus', first official image released. Ridley Scott has revealed more details about his forthcoming Alien prequel, Prometheus, which is inspired by the 'Ancient Astronaut' theory of UFOlogy. Speaking at the 2011 Comic-Con via satellite link-up from Iceland, Scott said of Prometheus:
"What I want to do is scare the living shit out of you. It shares one piece of DNA with the original Alien but that's all." It involves a space exploration mission that finds a "civilisation that is home to some very uncivilised behaviour."
Asked why he had not returned to the sci-fi genre since his 1982 classic, Blade Runner, Scott responded:
"I was too busy doing other movies and exploring other genres, so frankly I never thought about science fiction until I started to realise that there was something in the first of the Aliens that no one had ever asked the question about, and in the next three there was no exploration of that question, and I thought that could be the centre of what we’ve just completed. That said, that’s the only link to the original Alien. But in the last few minutes of the movie you’ll understand what I’m talking about." [More]
