A big part of what made Scott&#8217;s original film so powerful was the air of mystery about the alien that was stalking the crew of the <em>Nostromo<\/em>. We didn&#8217;t get a good look at it for a majority of the film, it striking out from the shadows. It was vaguely humanoid, but had a biology terrifyingly different than our own. It was an unknowable force of nature and that is what made it terrifying. Doing away with that mystery robs the alien of much of its power to frighten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">In conjunction with the British blu-ray release of Robin Hood, director Ridley Scott gave an interview to The Independent, which ended with some details about his upcoming Alien prequels.
