Neill Blomkamp's ALIEN is official!

There's a lot in this franchise that shouldn't of happened... like Weyland-Yutani getting bought out by Walmart...

I thought that was funny, the implication that Walmart got so big and powerful that got into military/scientific research.

IIRC At the time there was this weird fear that Walmart was going to end up owning everything, there were documentaries about it and stuff.

Hope for this movie is fading fast.
Fox should allocate at least half the budget to hiring those f/X guys who did Michael Douglas and Robert Downey flash backs for Marvel.

...it's the only way to be sure.

Man, at least she's aging with dignity, unlike countless other celebrities that go under the knife so much they end up looking like blow up dolls.

Time is a cruel *****.

Well we now know that didn't happen, but what did happen was this.

This is sooooo dead in the water.

 

[GasparZizou]

yup, that's partly why I find it funny

 

[spindrift]

yeah this thread will run another three years and they will keep saying "it's in the works". Like Ridley's "Monopoly" movie- if you remember talk of that!

You met Sigourney?? Lucky man- what was she like?

she was nice, didn't have huge time to chat since it was autograph line but appreciated all of the fans. Told her I'm one of the 'OG' fans from the get-go! She chuckled.


yeah even now I'm starting to have doubts. Ridley says Alien Covenant has direct tie in to first movie and direct tie into Ripley but isn't telling what. (i have idea as I'm sure that's the rumor that was leaked). About the only person who could pull it off is Henn as she's only 40 but Weaver and Biehn are getting older. Sure set it in the future of the series, but still it's bound to be a physically demanding role no matter how they do it.

Carrie Henn is 40!....but of course she is. Damn.

I don't think she has acted since Aliens so I'll be surprised if she's going to be involved if this ever happens.

She lost weight at least from the last I saw her.

she hasn't acted since Aliens. Supposedly she'd come out of teaching to make the movie if it happens as she's supposedly featured in the Blokampt script.

indeed she has. If you watch the retrospective documentary on the blu ray dvd of aliens, she looks much slimmer now than how she was. I also met her at comicpalooza got her autograph as well-

The film that wouldn't die

I heard a bit about the plot and it's different..... in that Ripley has a psychic connection with the Xenos, when she introduces a couple of her 'friends' to Hicks he totally freaks out. She can control a few and they act as her soldiers/drones, so you're going to see Xeno battling Xeno. So when Ripley battles the Xeno Queen she's wearing the Xeno helmet you see in the concept art, but when she and the Queen kill each other Newt takes the helmet and puts it on....

Sounds exactly like Blomkamp was "paying fan service" in his script but also there is something new even if it sounds a little predictable in the end. BTW when Sharlto Copley said he wanted to play a Xeno he meant one of Ripley's. Even if the film doesn't get made it sounds like it would definitely be worthy of graphic novel release.

 

[a-dev]

Ehmmm....if that's a legit synopsis of Blomkamp's idea I'm no longer sure I want this to get made. That sounds reeeediculous.

Mr Genisendo strikes again

 

[Spartan Rex]

Why would she have a psychic connection?
