Alien Prequel: Rubber Suits are in?

[deezelboy]

From Screen Junkies:

Alien was made back in the good old days when monsters were guys in rubber suits. If Ridley Scott is making a prequel to Alien, it would make sense to go back to the practical effects. It turns out the director's been consulting with Avatar creature designer Neville Page. Scott’s still not sold on that performance capture hocus pocus.

"I just recently was talking to Ridley Scott," Page said at a media even for the Blu-Ray release of Avatar. "He brought up a really interesting point about how the real rubber suits for him are still a preference because you get stuff that you're forced to have be real. As a result, it feels real on camera or in camera. I thought, 'Wait a minute, I thought we were doing everything digital now.' Just like us, a director's going to use whatever tools make sense for the end result."

...Page said Scott was just gathering information to weigh his options.

"He was talking more theoretical in regards to filmmaking and his experience on the original. It's a choice of now moving forward, when you can do an alien fully digital, is that what he would do?"

Hi Deezelboy... hope all is well with you. FYI -- I noticed many of your posts have these in them:

Those can occur when copying and then pasting text from other articles sometimes, depending on what you're using.

It's always best to copy and paste it into a word document or the like, then copy and paste from that version, so it won't have a lot of those "question marks in diamonds".

This is interesting. I had Scott pegged as a CG whore, probably because I recall him playing the "These days this would be CGI" game in the original Alien commentary.
