According to Vulture, Scott’s enthusiastic about the idea of having a multicultural space crew for his prequel, but Fox is looking for the economic security that having a movie star provides. With that in mind, the Alien prequel is being rewritten, with a beefed up part to appeal to Charlize Theron.
So far the tone of the movie is described as hard science fiction meets psychological drama with romance. Or as we called it in a previous article 'Brokeback Alien'. That will make sense when you read the article.
Would you rather have seen Theron working in the past for Eastwood, or are you hoping to watch her rocketing through space for Scott?
