Well except for the last one , it need several zeros behind it.......

All hail Marvel.

After watching the ALIENS Special Edition again back on the 26th I really don't know that I care to see Weaver and Biehn reprise their roles. It's not like a Han Solo situation where he had such a poor showing in Jedi that TFA rectified that and gave him the proper send off he always wanted in the first place. Ripley and Hicks were as good on screen in ALIENS as I pretty much ever could have hoped and at this point with them being so much older...I don't know. I really wish we just got to see them in action again in the early 90's.

There's lots of ways they could really screw this up. I don't mind them giving it a shot, and if it's bad I'll ignore it and if it's good it'll be gravy but my initial excitement for what was once my most coveted sequel opportunity ever is greatly diminished as I've had time to digest the news since the first announcement.

Personally, I think that Weaver and Biehn coming back is kinda like Michael Jordan returning to Basketball, or Michael Schumacher returning to Formula 1 after their retirements...
Just... just let it go. Leave while you're on top.

But, if they're coming back, so be it.

True. Its a big enough world too that you can easily have a story in the universe and still be popular.

Added to that, whats to say that there may be other Ripley family members out there still ? Or even Ripley 8 herself if they decide to still keep her canon ? You would have to James Bond it and recast her, but its not out of the realm of possibility. They can still have Ripley in the Alien movie franchise, just not Ellen herself.

Only if you like Action/Comedy over a Sci-Fi Horror masterpiece.

 

[spindrift]

ALIEN stands alone. Period. ALIENS is great but nowhere on the same level of the original.

 

[slikkerias]

Hehe this is a weird discussion. What's best masterpiece or masterpiece. Both are perfect and very different. We don't HAVE to choose.

I definitely prefer wacky comedies like ALIENS, Full Metal Jacket, Born on the Fourth of July, etc., over sci-fi masterpieces like ALIEN.

 

[a-dev]

Yeah I think calling Aliens a comedy is quite a bit of a disservice. The first film isn't entirely without humour either.

 

[jye4ever]

Yup, Aliens was always my favorite goofball comedy.

Missed opportunity not making the nose of that plane an Alien head.

Well, Weaver has just confirmed in her EW interview that Alien 5 is the real Alien 3.

Alien 3/4 never happened.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Gotta love Hollywood undoing its own. Terminator, Alien, Star Wars... all with "wiped" histories. As if it makes it all better.
