Lost's Damon Lindelof Wants To Get Facehugged.
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...

Abrams' Star Trek with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, following their collaboration on Jon Favreau's ...

Deadline has the story this afternoon, and from the sounds of it, it won't be one of those rewrite situations where a guy emphasizes or de-emphasizes a character here or there or adds an action scene or two featuring punchy dialogue.

Lost's Damon Lindelof May Write The Alien Prequel For Ridley Scott
Damon Lindelof was pretty much already living the geek dream, having created and executive produced Lost for six successful seasons and contributed as a writer on Star Trek , which almost definitely meant he got to sit in Kirk's chair and set a phaser to stun once or twice.

Lostmeister Damon Lindelof Rewriting The Alien Prequel... Into Something Else Entirely?
John Spaihts writing for the Alien prequel is pretty strong and very odd stuff. It’s full of sci-fi detail that goes so far beyond the normal that everything t ends up feeling quite fantastical, even slightly psychedelic and there’s some pages that I thought were so far removed from commercial filmmaking they could never, ever make the cut in a studio picture. All of which helped convince me when I first read one of his drafts that it was actually nothing of the sort, and just a...

Lost guy Damon Lindelof is rewriting the Alien prequel?
Jul. 28, 2010 The first two Alien movies are among my all-time favorite films, but even I'm not as interested in the story of the "Space Jockey" as Ridley Scott seems to be.

He had a script by Jon Spaihts, but that seems to be getting a rewrite, and Scott...

Lost's Damon Lindelof may write Ridley Scott's Alien prequel
Looks like Damon Lindelof's first major solo screenwriting gig, now that he's wrapped up the mysteries of Lost , will be to go back before one of sci-fi's greatest movie franchises even began—because he just closed a deal to work on the long-in-development Alien prequel, which 20th Century Fox hopes (and WE hope) Ridley Scott will direct. On the other hand—once he completes that script, it might NOT be filmed as an Alien movie, Deadline reported. Weird, huh? Strangely, the plot...
