Neill Blomkamp's ALIEN is official!

[Devil_666]

You can't win with sequels.

If it's similar to the original - People hate it and complain that it's just more of the same, rehashed, etc.

Too far away from the original - People hate it and complain that it's too different, doesn't have continuity, etc.

That's why I watch ****. That's my excuse anyways.

Filming to start and some surprise returns of familiar faces.
Alien 5 filming begins in Vancouver; Neill Blomkamp assures film won't overlap with Ridley Scott's Prometheus 2 : Trending News : Venture Capital Post

 

[Khev]

Well that article at least does seem to confirm that it will retcon out Alien 3 and A:Res.

 

[Rambler]

Great news!

 

[Magpie 7]

Its a bit loosely written but it claims characters from Scott's Alien will return too, well we knew Ripley was back but who else could they mean?

 

[Kamandi]

Ripley was the only survivor of the Nostromo (and the cat)

 

[RIDDICK]

Terrible news. Another nostalgia crapfest incoming.

And Blomkamp is still in charge? Blegh...

 

[Magpie 7]

And Hudson didn't survive LV-426 but he could be returning too.

Like Genisys retconned out T3 and Salvation?

 

[RIDDICK]

Instantly made it bete... Ah, no it didn't. *ba-dum-tsss*

 

[Khev]

Like Genisys retconned out T3 and Salvation?

Pretty much.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It might be good.... until Chappie shows up.

 

[fosing]

bienh/hicks will be played by jai hoe as usual. lolz

Hicks returning makes sense, especially if they ignore Alien 3 and 4. But if Hudson was to come back it would be a bit of a wtf moment, even as much as I'd want Hudson to return.

But...in Aliens did we actually see Hudson die or just get dragged away? I don't remember if Ripley sees him in the Queen's lair near the end. So there's the possibility they could say he survived and got off LV-426 somehow.

All these **** fests are worth at least one watch.

Our classic libraries can still remain untainted.. "mostly".

 

[DiFabio]

Like Genisys retconned out T3 and Salvation?

Genisys managed to kill not only T3 and Salvation's history, but T1 and T2's as well. It slaughtered all 4 with an UZI 9mm


Quite an accomplishment.

 

[RIDDICK]

These franchises are old, but not obsolete. Yet Hollywood is killing them with crappy sequels and remakes.

No we don't see anything more than him being dragged off screen, he would we can presume be cocooned as a host. He wouldn't need to get off LV-426 to survive the explosion, just get far enough away and have life support equipment for when the atmosphere had dissipated. May be he survived a la Robinson Crusoe and the only Xeno left became his Man Friday?
