Portman For Alien Prequel!?

The rumor mill is pumping a lot out about Ridley Scott’s prequel to Alien and the latest is that Natalie Portman is the studio’s main choice for the lead role.
Sources say that unlike the later films in the franchise, the prequel would be a horror-suspense piece, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
Good! We don’t need a ton of creature effects! We just want good old fashioned scares!
Scott said the film would have “a real nasty feel, like the dark side of the moon.”
Oh boy, we’re getting excited for this one already!
