While director Scott has been doing his interview rounds for Robin Hood, tons of Alien prequel items have been spilling out of him. The screenplay is now being written by Jon Spaihts, but Scott recently confirmed to Collider that he is hoping to make the prequel a "two-parter." Right now he's focused on merely finishing the first prequel, but he has two movies in mind.
