Ridley Scott steers itself backwards for more thick

Ridley Scott, who should be focusing all of his attention on the Alien prequels, is instead goofing around with more projects. But he's not directing, he's producing. Deadline has more:He’s producing a new 4-hour miniseries based on Dick’s The Man In The High Castle for the BBC. Howard Brenton, the British playwright who’s also written for Spooks/MI-5, is adapting the Hugo Award-winning novel. Headline Pictures is also producing with Electric Shepherd Productions, the production arm of Philip K Dick’s estate, and Scott’s production company Scott Free. Fremantle Media, which handles The X Factor, will sell the 4 hour-long episodes overseas. Dick’s novel is a science fiction alternate history, depicting a world in which the Axis powers -- Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany -- triumphed over the Allies in the Second World War. Fremantle is developing the TV miniseries for BBC1.Click HERE! to read the rest.Speaking of Alien, Deadline is also reporting that Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Noomi Rapace and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star Carey Mulligan.I could see Noomi in the role but not Carey, who would suck as the lead for an Alien movie. I want to see a tough chick on screen, not someone who looks like a ten year old boy. She could be in it, but only if five baby aliens bust through her rib cage at the same time.Source: Deadline
