Many fans were excited to hear that Ridley Scott was interested in bringing back the "Alien" franchise, buy pushing forward with a prequel. Unfortunately, Scott did not have any plans to helm the film. He instead hired commercial director Carl Erik Rinsch to take over.
20th Century Fox owns the rights to the property and are excited about an "Alien" film without Scott at the helm. The studio could care less that Scott highly recommends Rinsch, they believe that having the director of the original "Alien" would make for a better/more successful prequel.
Until this is resolved, Fox has yet to greenlight the project.
Rinsch may be a decent director, having previously helmed an interesting Saturn commercial (watch below). But since he's romantically involved with Ridley Scott's daughter, Jordan, 20th Century Fox may see this as Scott trying to do a favor for his possible son-in-law.
