ALIEN Prequel/Reboot Might Be Coming and I Can Vouch For the Director!

Less than 24 hours ago, Bloody Disgusting revealed that a new Alien film is in the works and that Michael Costigan, Tony Scott and original Alien director Ridley Scott are producing the new film with Carl Rinsch slated to direct and produce

Here's where it gets weird.

I know Carl Rinsch.

Several years ago I managed a video store in Providence, RI and Rinsch, who was attending Brown at the time, was one of my regular customers.



We'd talk movies quite a bit and I attended his senior show where he presented some of his work.

Let's just say that there is a reason that he's the guy.

Visually, his work is stunning and he's technically innovative enough that he helped create a camera that funded three spec commercials (at 18 years old) which got him hired at RSA.

He is one of the most interesting visual stylists around and would be in excellent company with Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Check out some of his work after the jump!
