And Ridley Scott will direct!
As with all things Hollywood, we shall see.

Alien was very good. Aliens was excellent. All the rest including the AVP series were stinkers.
It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
To think of the terrific moods and atmospheres (and terror) he created in 1979's Alien lets hope he tops it in 2009 (not a given) but we can hope!
thanks

On the other hand, let's just hope that the movie isn't ruined by the overuse of CGI.

You can see what he did with new technology in the last version of Blade Runner where he redid a couple of scenes using new technology. If you weren't familiar with the original, you wouldn't have noticed anything since he just used the technology to 'touch up' a few visual rough spots that couldn't have been done better originally because of the state of technology then, things like superimposing the real actress's face over the stunt double's face as Zora falls after being shot by Deckert. Scott's use of the new technology available to him then was extremely subtle and effective.
I have no reason to think he'd use available technology any other way in a new film.

"I have no reason to think he'd use available technology any other way in a new film."
With Blade Runner the movie was already made and CGI was used to restore and enhance it slightly, and there were no monsters or aliens involved so no real requirement for full blown CGI creations.
Different scenario with the Alien franchise where in the original movie, models, gunk and animators provided the aliens with their character whereas now it will all be possible on a lap-top.
For me CGI has been hit and miss - mostly a hit but the original Alien had a certain menace as a result of the animatronics and Henderson style movements which hasn't been replicated by any CGI creation since.
For instance, the battle between the Riply in her Mechanical loader outfit and the Queen alien was obviously restricted by the technology of the time and nowadays we could expect to see both pounding away as fluently as UFC fighters in full HD.
It's the old analogue vs digital debate rearing it's head; watching two machines throw each other around fluidly in Transformers was entertaining and impressive, but not as 'involving' as the Riply vs Alien encounter.
In fact, I had more empathy for the original animated King Kong than I did with the latest iteration despite the obvious superiority in motion and resolution.
At the end of the day, CGI is just another tool in the directors bag and as you suggest, and if Scott uses it wisely it needn't spoil the movie.

she did and started laughing after she asked if it was a comedy. The first chest scene was now cheesy and I noticed that creature second mouth had a rack-n-pinion look to it. I'll take CGI any day.
I'd love to see a remake of the "Thing" and a third "Blob".

The latest Star Trek prequil blew open the whole franchise.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
Because he doesn't like them and he doesn't want anyone to see them? :-)
