“This Alien is going to be… I’m very excited to see it and everybody in the film was saying this is a film that we all want to see,” he said.
“It’s much scarier than Prometheus, but it’s got the same sort of scope of Prometheus. It’s kind of got more of thriller, imminent disaster feel that Alien had, so it’s kind of a beautiful meeting of both of those films.”
