Color me confused, but what’s going on with Ridley Scott and Prometheus? As far as I could tell, he did all he could to distance the movie from Alien–the original screenplay by Jon Spaihts was called Alien: Engineers (click on the link to read) was firmly entrenched in the Alien universe, while the re-write by Damon Lindelhof was significantly less so in that it involved the personalities and architecture of Alien without actual Aliens (the photo-Alien at the end not withstanding).
So imagine my surprise when I saw this (courtesy of Comicbookmovie.com):
Alien: Paradise Lost.
From seeming not interesting in playing in the Alien sandbox, to diving in up to his neck, I am not sure if this is a good thing for the franchise. Visually, Scott is a very talented director–with perhaps one of the most distinctive visual styles today–but this odd indecisiveness (I know of nothing else to call it) is a bit disturbing.
