Alcon Entertainment said the film will be a prequel or sequel,
"This is a total reinvention,

Make up your minds, will you?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

He's going to be busy. According to Wiki:

QuoteIn April 2008, Scott announced his new project, The Kind One, a period drama set for release in 2012. The film will star recent Academy Award nominee Casey Affleck.[26] It is based on the novel of the same name by screenwriter Tom Epperson.

On 12 October 2008, Scott confirmed that after a 25 year wait for the rights to become available, he is making a return to science fiction with a film adaptation of the book The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. He was looking for a script writer.[27] In March 2009, Scott confirmed that the film would be in 3D citing James Cameron's Avatar as an inspiration for doing so. "I'm filming a book by Joe Haldeman called Forever War. I've got a good writer doing it. I've seen some of James Cameron's work, and I've got to go 3D. It's going to be phenomenal."[28][29]

Another science fiction project to which Scott has been attached is an adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, with Leonardo DiCaprio also attached.[30]

On 31 July 2009, news of a two part prequel to Alien surfaced, with Ridley attached to direct.[31] The film is being developed by 20th Century Fox.[32]. In August 2011, information leaked about production of a new installment by Alcon Entertainment, with Alcon partners Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. [33]

Scott announced on 15 October 2009 that he will direct a film adaptation of the Red Riding trilogy.[34]

The only one of those that is really being done is the Prometheus one.

I know this is heresy, but I like the Harrison Ford voice over version.

It is heresy;  after all, a noir voiceover accompanying a noir film?  ABSTROLUTELY APPAULLING
