Is Ridley Scott&#39;s Alien prequel in trouble?S  Rumor has it
that Ridley Scott's run into a roadblock on his Alien prequel.
Scott and the studio are allegedly battling it out over ratings,
creative control and budget. Could this bickering stop the Alien
film in its tracks?  Script Flags is reporting that Fox and
Ridley have been fighting over just about everything in his
Alien movie.  Scott wants a budget of around $250m to make it a
sci-fi spectacular, and is also pushing for an 18-rated level of
violence and horror. Fox, however, don't plan on investing
anywhere near that sum, and are keen to get a 15 rating to
maximise the audience appeal.  We're choosing to take this rumor
with a grain of salt, until more reports come in. The movie
itself is still in the early alien face-hugger egg gestation
stage, after all.  Thanks for the tip John.
