Yup and the question remains will Alien fans now go watch another Alien movie without any Xeno’s?

I don’t know what he’s smoking but AC was a box office bomb I really do think they’re done.

I tell you what’s really dead though that Universal Monster connected universe they literally shut down that production building lol

Even if they do hand the franchise over to Blomkamp it will be a harder sell so soon after Covenant. I guess it worked for Spider-Man though.
 
What I read in Scott's statement is that, once again, he believes the creature is done.
We might get another chapter in David's story, and if we do, it seems it won't revolve around the aliens.
 
Yeah man why all the Disney hate I don’t quite get it.

Is it because they won’t make an R rated superhero movie?

As much as I loved the first 2/3 of Logan don’t make me choose between PG-13 TWS or Logan and Deadpool because TWS will easily win hands down.

Is it because of Disney Wars?

For me TFA/RO while not perfect they are > PT.
 
Do you really think Disney is the right home for Alien? Or Blade Runner for that matter? Maybe they could do a decent Predator since its kind of silly to start.

Well I doubt they'd brand those titles as Disney per se. Remember they owned Miramax and Dimension Films until 2010. So technically Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Scream, From Dusk Till Dawn, Trainspotting, Sin City, etc., were "Disney films."

Disney is a completely different beast now. You can't drum up the 90's (and Touchstone) as an example. Good god man, that's 20+ years ago. Disney was still growing as a beast, learning what to feed on... now it knows.
 
I don't think Disney mishandles the properties they acquire, but I do think they make them somewhat bland.
And TFA < PT.
RO = PT.

Possibly, but 2010 was still just 7 years ago and technically post-MCU. And people seem to think that a "Disney" version of whatever property will somehow be lighter than what came before when RO proved otherwise by being darker than even ESB.

EDIT: Actually now that I think of it I think Cap:TFA might have been the first Disney MCU film.
 
Hey, I like RO almost as much as you (no one can like it more, certainly) but I can see where hard-R gruesome and grisly movies won't be handled well with the Magic Castle at the beginning. Nor would Disney want to make that type of movie now. Not even Touchstone would have.

If Alien slithers toward ALIENS then maybe Disney can handle that... but we'd never get an ALIEN type horror film again. Not that I expect it anyway from that burnt-out franchise.
 
Yeah, hard to say on straight horror (which I know you prefer with regard to the ALIEN) but what we've been seeing with things like Punisher on Netflix suggests to me that they could probably still put together a good Cameron-esque type ALIEN film if they brought the right people aboard.
 
It doesn’t bother me that I won’t ever get a Disney Exorcist movie because I simply don’t expect one.

Their wheelhouse has enough to keep me busy if I want extreme cinema i’ll find it with some excellent french and asian films like the very awesome Blade of the Immortal that just came out.

Besides word is that Punisher is bloody as all hell.
