I dont think we need to worry about this one.
In fact, Im willing to bet that it will be absolutely ace.
If you thought that the xenomorphic alien was the big baddie in all theAlienmovies, youd be wrong.
The ultimate evil, of course, is the Weyland-Yutani organisation.
Metaphorically speaking, onThe ApprenticeWeyland-Yutani would be the Sir Allan Sugar figure.
So The bitch is back, to quote the publicity ofAlien3.
Is the bitch Ripley or the eponymous parasite?
AsAliens heart of darkness, I desire to know more about the insidious enterprise.
I say that the prequel should put Weyland-Yutani as the foremost focal concern.
Take, for example, Stark Industries inIron Man.
Likewise, the Empire inStar Warsis a pretty non-descript outfit.
Youd be forgiven for thinking that it was just an empty symbol of evil instead of a working power-structure.
How did they get so evil?
What sort of backstabbing and backhanding activity goes on in the boardroom?
What percent of revenue is siphoned off into evil schemes research and development instead of staff pastoral care?
Can we possibly, in the style of OCP inRoboCop, see some bitingly satirical commercials?
A prequel offers the perfect chance to dig up the dirt and delve into the despicable backstory of Weyland-Yutani.
They knew about the alien before the last voyage of the Nostromo and we viewers want to know how.
