Are The Alien Prequels In Trouble Already?

Everything we’d been hearing about Ridley Scott’s planned prequels to his original Alien movie had sounded too good, too easy… I should’ve known that it was just a matter of time before things started to go wrong, and now a post on movie blog Script Flags suggests that the first major roadblock has been hit, with …
