lose showrunner Damon Lindelof ’s script for Ridley Scott ’s troubled Alien prequel may have just solved all the director ’s problems . In fact his reportedly arresting script may have even nabbed Natalie Portman for the lead character .
A few week ago , rumour had it thatScott and Fox were squabblingover the Alien prequel budget and rating . Scott was gunning for a hard R and a bigger budget , while Fox was pumping the brake system on the whole project . But consort toVulture , Lindelof just turned in his handwriting this past Saturday , and it was so good that it stopped the fighting . Why ? Here ’s why :

One reason Fox execs are so thrilled with Lindelof ’s Alien draft is that , not only is it creatively engaging , but it adds no expensive ‘ set pieces ’ – production - speak for elaborated , effects - heavy action sequences that supply gazillion to the cost of a photographic film – to the movie . ”
But that ’s not all , Fox is also exceptionally pleased with the Lindelof script because it ’s much closer to a PG-13 than a hard R. One source said :
“ [ If ] the original Alien were released today , minus the F - bomb calorimeter , you could still get a PG-13 . Alien is a very Jaws - ian movie : There ’s no sex , and while there ’s stack of violence , most of it is off - television camera . Maybe you ’d have to shorten aside from certain scenes two seconds earlier , but it could be done . ' ”
Hmmm maybe , they have a point with some of the off - camera violence . But I seem to think of one very blinking bureau - popping dejeuner . Not really indisputable how anything like that could be PG-13 .
But where does Natalie Portman fit in ? New York Magazine is stating that Fox really require Portman for the female atomic number 82 , which they described as a “ female Colonial Marine general . ” But we ’re taking this man of tidings with a grain of salt , seeing as Portman has been up for just about every title of respect movie office for the last 5 month .
