Ridley Scott's upcoming prequel for his horror masterpiece Alien is no longer a prequel, but has become its own film titled Prometheus. It will apparently star actress Noomi Rapace who recently starred in the critically acclaimed film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
While I was actually curious to see how Ridley Scott would pull off a prequel to one of the greatest horror films in history, I actually kind of like the thought that it veered into its own new product. I just hope that it doesn't feel like a rehash of the original but with just a different name.
Really there are some prequels that just don't need to be made. Did Hannibal Rising need to be made? Does The Thing prequel really need to be made? In my mind, it did not and it does not.
Not much news about Prometheus has been revealed yet beyond the fact that it was meant to be an Alien prequel that became its own and a potential lead actress, so I'm holding any judgments as to what this film's potential is until further news.
