Its supposed to hold its own as a new series set a couple hundred years before the first Alien.<br /><br />No Alien movie needs to cost 240 million! That's insane. Predators recent entry should be an EASY argument for Fox to say, "HELL NO". I think this reeks of Scott trying to get out of the project and make it look like it wasn't his fault. These are ludicris demands that Scott KNOWS Fox will nto comply with and send him on his way.<br /><br />My take, let Rodriguez or find Guillermo del Toro to produce. Those men could make a film that looks just like Ridley's 240 million R-Rated wet dream for 30-40 million and PG-13 rated.<br /><br />This is the first film in about 15 years for this franchise. There is no need to blow money on it. Its gotta be a make it for cheap, if it does well, you'll get plenty more for the next one!<br /><br />-BrandonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
