The Alien prequel is in full effect and Lost's Damon Lindelof wants a crack at those lovable little facehuggin' teddy bears. I guess he had some good ideas and Fox execs all jumped up and down in their chairs, clapping their hands together, while spilling their milk and drooling on the carpet.Hey, here's an idea - stop trying to squeeze every last ounce of life from a 30 year old property. Why not...I don't know...try something new? But I'm being silly. We all know that's not possible.Here's the lowdown, Charlie Brown:Damon Lindelof has taken his first big solo screenwriting job since concluding the ABC series Lost. I’m been told that he closed a deal to do rewrite work on 20th Century Fox’s Alien prequel, which the studio hopes Ridley Scott will direct as his next assignment. In a development as vexing as a Lost plotline, studio insiders said that while Lindelof indeed met with Scott and the studio for that rewrite job, the exchange of ideas between them sparked a take that could well turn out to be a free-standing science fiction film. The studio will decide when Lindelof turns it in. Scott Free is producing and Lindelof's CAA reps closed his deal last night.
Lindeloff is currently writing with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci Paramount’s Star Trek sequel, on which Lindelof is a producer. He also teamed with Kurtzman and Orci to write the Jon Favreau-directed Cowboys and Aliens, which is shooting now with Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford.
