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.
Interesting, curious where did you hear this? That's all well and good but if he doesn't have Jonesy in it, then I'm not going.....
I think with all the hub-bub about it, if they never get it made for whatever reason they'll have to release a book or something. I only read one of the novels, Out of the Shadows, it wasn't bad, heard that the next one was kinda 'meh'. There is so much clamoring for this to get made there will be a lot of pissed off people if nothing ever comes of it.
