Are you sitting down? Ridley Scott is going to make two Alien prequels, in 3-mother-scratching-D. The first one could be released as early as 2011 or 2012.

According to NME:

Ridley Scott has thrown the gauntlet down to James Cameron's Avatar by saying his rival director "won't get away" with raising the bar - and promised his two Alien prequels will top the sci-fi fantasy. The director had previously been reported as working on a single prequel, but told Collider.com there will now be two.

"The film will be really tough, really nasty. It’s the dark side of the moon. We are talking about gods and engineers. Engineers of space. And were the aliens designed as a form of biological warfare? Or biology that would actually go in and clean up a planet?" he said.

"It will take place in the years before that, when they first come across this thing on a planet called Zeta Reticuli. And it will ask who was that guy in the first film lying in a chair with his chest blown outwards when they first go into the giant spacecraft."

Scott admitted in an interview with MTV News, however, that the subsequent Alien sequels and spin-offs - notably Alien vs Predator which he had no part in - have diluted the creature's shock value.

"Yeah, the thing about Alien vs Predator is, I know it's commerce, but what a pity," he said. "I think, therefore, I have to design — or redesign — earlier versions of what these elements are that led to the thing you finally see in Alien, which is the thing that catapults out of the egg, the face-hugger. I don't want to repeat it. The alien in a sense, as a shape, is worn out."
