What if RS don't care for Alien?

I have wachted an read a lot of interviews with Ridley Scott lately and I found two statements always repeatet: 1. "I am a designer", 2. "I am not really an SF-enthusiast". Plus I had to familiarize myself with his narrative style for a scientific paper I had to write. My conclusion: He doesn't understand the hysteria. He might not care so much for the details as we do. He has to do a movie that 50% satisfy the Alien-Fans and 50% win a new audience. RS might not care of things established in Alien. The space-jockey "grown out of a chair", a lifeform "pure in it's hostilitiy", and all that. He might ignore all that in order to make a "modern" movie which has to compete with Transformers or Avatar. To make it "accessible" for younger audiences, like it was done with the SW-prequels. Although I understand RS' need to produce blockbusters and to compete with Cameron and such he better not sell out Alien. He is my only hope, if he dissappoints, I won't believe in traditional filmmakers anymore. If Prometheus fails, I'll spend my money on Crowdfunding.
