With the recent announcement that Fox was rebooting their PREDATOR franchise with Robert Rodriguez producing, it should come as no surprise that the studio is now also planning a remake/reboot of Ridley Scott's classic ALIEN.

Bloody-Disgusting got a tip that Fox is planning a remake of ALIEN, where "the plan is to stick with the original concept of only one alien on the ship." Michael Costigan, Ridley Scott and Tony Scott are producing with Carl Rinsch tentatively set to direct. Rinsch works for Ridley Scott Assosiates and has an extensive background in directing FX laddened commercials. (Examples of his work can be found HERE!)

An update on B-D's original post now says this could end up being an "origin" story as opposed to a straight out remake, but until we hear otherwise, let's consider this all a RUMOR for now. More when we hear it.
