Ridley Scott directing prequels!!!

Director Ridley Scott will be directing prequels to his 1979 "Alien" film. There will be 2 prequels, the first film is in it's 4th draft and has a planned release date of either late 2011 or early 2012. The films, will of course be shot in 3D. They will take place before the events of Scott's "Alien" film, in which the crew of a commercial towing ship respond to a distress signal from an empty ship, only to discover too late that the signal was meant to warn them. This will be Scott's first sci-fi film since his 1982 "Blade Runner" film. What do you think? Will you check it out?
