Ridley Scott recently interviewed with the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy and spoke about about his next film, "Prometheus", and how it will mix with "Alien".
He told them that the final minutes of "Prometheus" will be "a pretty good DNA of the Alien one." One can only speculate at this point as to what that means, given the vague comment.
Scott went on to say, "I'm a great believer in filming the real thing if you can and so I did a lot of building the real thing." He added that the film was "the best time I've had in a number of years making a movie."
"Prometheus" is scheduled for a June 8, 2012 release.
