Re: Alien remake/reboot is GO
Reboot? All the people in Hollywood and they can't come up with something new? Shameful.
The origin of the species - cool.
The Navigator species from the first movie - cool, ending with the crash on the planet.

They should give it to Paul W.S. Anderson.

A reboot is fine.....but it sounds like they're doing a remake. Which is FUBAR.

Re: Alien Reboot!!!
wow now this is something I'm not seeing. I'll see predators but the pred and alien movies were on different levels. I'm not touchin this one. I made the mistake of watching the remake of a movie I truly loved and lived to regret it (RZ's Halloween). So I don't even wanna watch the trailer for this.

Re: Alien Reboot!!!
What??? Are you still playing yourself? Or will someone else be cast in your role?
I just found out my life is being rebooted.
I'll probably still go see it, though....

Re: Alien Reboot!!!
Is this a reboot or a remake?
A reboot is just a different movie, doesnt have to follow the other films, no previous characters....nothing.
A remake is just that. Which is tarded.
A reboot, i'm fine with.

Unless it turns out well. I just hope he takes a more involved role than just producer.

Re: Alien remake/reboot is GO
My concerns lie with the fact that it was made clear in ALIEN that it was the 1st encounter with either species (Jockeys and Xenos). However, with a prequel, there's sure to be a human element to the story. This will entirely screw up the Alien's mystique IMO.
Part of the franchise's allure is the fact that aliens are shrouded in darkness.
Shine too much light on them and we get AVP.

Re: Alien remake/reboot is GO
What bothers me the most is the lack of care studios are showing with these things. They're getting music video/ TV commercial directors for these things. I don't understand why they even bother putting them into production with such half-assed effort behind them.

Re: Alien remake/reboot is GO
I have to admit this doesn't bother me either, everybody starts somewhere. Many good and some great directors come from advertising and promo work, it's where you find your feet.
Ridley Scott
Alan Parker
David Fincher
Spike Jonze
Michael Gondry
Alfonso Cuarón
All started out like this.
But I will agree that they need people who can bring something to a story, people who 'need' to make movies rather than those who just want to, as a stepping stone to the next project.
I think 'vision' is the thing that is all too often overlooked in favour of 'ambition'.

Re: Alien Reboot!!!
The Alien has already been redesigned into ^^^^. It cant get any worse then what ADI has shat out over the years.

Re: Alien remake/reboot is GO
I understand all directors come from small things, it just seems like a lot of the ones that are getting used for this sort of film are fresh off that kind of work. Like Brothers Strauss and AVPR, if they didn't copy so much of the original Alien and Predator films, I don't know how AVPR would have turned out, I just fear the same with this one. FOX just seems to put little into the Alien and Predator franchises, low budgets, directors with little behind them. The only hope for Predators is that it has an established director.
