>Now, we already knew from early concept art that Cpl. Hicks was going to return, albeit a bit more scarred than his previous incarnation. Additionally, Michael Biehn said in an interview last year that the film is, “…planning on bringing me and Newt back and at this point Newt will be around twenty-seven years old…it’s really a passing of the torch between Sigourney and this younger actress who would play Newt. It would keep the franchise alive…” So this idea is nothing new but it hadn’t been confirmed until today.

>Blomkamp’s Alien 5 is currently on hold while Ridley Scott finishes filming Alien: Convenant, the sequel to 2012’s sci-fi/thriller Prometheus, according to Sigourney Weaver.

Newt died. Hicks died. Alien 3 happened. Or are we just forgetting movies that aren't universally loved now?
>>
>>68751315

Blomkamp started ALien 5 by saying 3 and RES arent canon then people bitched and he was like "well okay maybe they are?" and now this basically confirms he stuck to his guns
>>
>>68751315

To be fair, the script only killed off Newt and Hicks because the writer didn't want to or know how to implement them constructively. There were earlier drafts with Newt and Hicks surviving, a few even making Hicks the main character and putting Newt and Ripley on a bus.

You shouldn't hold it in high regard as a good decision by anyone. It's just sloppy, lazy writing.

Should be this, obviously. Don't allow yourself to get triggered by >>68750734, there's literally no reason why they would cast her in an Alien film, she simply does not fit the role in any way, and if you think it's some sort of round robin casting call thing where they'll just go for "strong female action actresses", then you're even more out of luck since her roles as Katniss and Mystique hardly qualify her as such.

Different takes and interpretations isn't a bad thing. Just because a couple of hack writers decided to have Newt and Hicks killed for no reason (which was and still is a pretty unpopular choice), doesn't mean we can't have an alternate take where they survive.

You know, I'm no edgelord, but I really feel this is what Alien needed. Aliens made a mockery of the tone of the first movie. Ripley being that bland action hero figure, with the obligatory "kid you gotta protect because motherhood" thrown in for good measure. It's only fair that A3 would make a mockery of Aliens. And it's pretty damn effective.

As a fan since the 90s, I do wonder who you mean as "fans", since I actually enjoyed Prometheus. Its not perfect and that Swedish bitch almost ruined the feel of the film for me, but its still a solid piece of sci-fi.

Do you even know how long people like me have been waiting for answers?

Alien 3 is the patrician successor to the original.

Some of the best imagery in the series, Thematically quite a bit going on if you are can see past the meme that it is supposed to be terrible, or your childhood impression of it.

That the good in it came out of such a clusterfuck of a production is impressive.

Compared to the garbage we are served up these days, I'll take it.

Throw all the shit at Fincher you want, he isn't perfect, but chances are you will never be as smart or capable in whatever it is you do.

Do you even understand the concept of hyper-realism vs. science-fiction?

Are you a scientist?

I am and I love Prometheus for it's attempt to put human evolution and life in the sci-fi context of a creation/engineer.

Your cynicism is the problem here, because you have apparently no problem accepting Alien/Aliens as good sci-fi, yet Prometheus isnt?

It is perfectly understandable that he would reject the result compared to what he had envisaged. That doesn't mean there isn't value in the flawed result.

>>
>>68759930

I don't think he's seen the movie in years. It's more a case of him being an arrogant shithead and refusing to acknowledge it because he's pissed off at the production.

Same thing happened with John Carpenter's Christine, guy refused to even talk about it for years, but when you check out the audio commentary he's basically like "hey, this isnt that bad"

The film shit smears the profound achievements of evolutionary science by clumsily contradicting what we know about the history of life on earth.

At what stage in evolution is it plausible for the engineers to have manipulated us? None.

If they seeded earth that suggests a preposterous 3.8 billion year recapitulation of an endlessly nuanced and specific evolutionary history through which we somehow realise an identical genome and morphology.

The way this is casually dismissed in dialogue is laughable.

This is just one small area in which It oversteps its intellectual pay grade.

They said from the start when they even began to work on this as a concept they are pretending everything after the second aliens film never got made and never happened. They literally said Aliens 3 and 4 were nightmares Ripley had in the hypersleep chamber. When she wakes up safe back on earth with Newt and Hicks the new film starts.

Honestly since I like to pretend those films were never made and also sometimes imagine they were just nightmares I had about shitty movies that ruined a once fantastic franchise, this sits surprisingly well with me.

Oh it was big news like a year ago, Bloomkamp made some kickstarter bullshit thing with a bunch of concept art of older Hicks and Ripley and got enough fans hyped about it that it kind of pushed the studio into giving him control of the next film in the franchise.

Then there was a big twist like six months ago where he said he was dropping it because they were trying to control him too much, and then when they backed off he got back on board.

>>68760421

Just my personal belief that Sci-fi is best when it has a tight focus, I'll forgive implausible scenarios readily when mystery and limited information is used to shore up the reality of the film.

There were ways in which the theme of guiding our evolution could have been plausible and interesting, or handled with skilful misdirection.

The franchise is effectively ruined at this point.

It's basically like A Nightmare on Elm Street or some shitty franchise now. You can't follow anything and nobody gives a fuck anymore.

>leave a massive empty alien ship with functional warp drives and an running anti-gravity generator floating over Johannesburg falling to pieces for 28 years, because the "control rooms got jettisoned"

Wars would have been fought over possession of it. Slowly disassembling it and reverse engineering its technology and slowly would have been the mission of the entire human race. It would be the single most valuable artifact on earth. Instead Blomkamp has them just leave it floating over Johannesburg for three decades with pieces falling off it because "the controls got blown up".

There are a hundred things like this. It's stupid, childishly written dreck.

>>
>>68760278
Never seen any one articulate that point.

Absolutely correct.

It amazed me how no one seemed to care about throwing away of not just evolutionary science but history on this planet as we understand it.

I thought this would be something that would be a big joke in ever review, it was such a monumental blunder on par with them landing the ship on the sun.

However I didn't realize that 99% of people (and everyone in the film) have no idea at all about the basic facts of our planets history.

Inception.

As for the Dub noises, that just sorta' segued in gradually through games and trailers and is now in movies as part of the soundtrack.

Only time I've hear Dub noises used well was the game far cry 3 as it gracefully worked with the games soundtrack and theme of Insanity and drugged up fever dreams and the like.

Pretty much anything that could get a plausible sequel, prequel, or reboot already has, now they're testing the waters by having their cake and eating it too with major retcons; the freedom to make unwanted trilogies with nostalgia bait material people were already invested into that already had a beginning middle and end that previously made it impossible, it's the best of both worlds!!

I have an idea of how to retcon Alien3 and Resurrection.

Now Neil could just ignore them and pretend they never happened which for the audience could be rather confusing and a bit annoying.

Here's what I would do.

The Sulaco is heading back towards Earth with everyone in deep sleep. The ship encounter an anomaly. Some kinda space distortion. There then entails a sequences whereby we see the ship get caught in the anomaly and there is a 'split' in the fabric of time and space. We see broken fragments of the Alien3 intro and crash landing interspersed with Resurrection. To make it easier for the audience you can have some fancy graphics spelling out the timeline split like a tree growing. Lots of screaming and echoes and other visual/audio shit. Suddenly it goes quiet and we cut back to the Sulaco in the original timeline.

Story continues from there.

This way the audience gets that there were 'other' universes with different plot lines but they don't feel so cheated on the 'let's just ignore everything that went before and 'alien'ate the audience.

No fucking 'it was all a dream' allowed thank you.

Anyhow they get back to Earth. Nothing eventful happens for those years between Aliens and now. But then all hell breaks loose as we learn that Weyland Yutani found a xenomoprh on the ship and had been trying to weaponize them in the years between. Cue Ripley and friends...

I bet you're the kind of scientist who would take his helmet off on an alien planet and go pet a viscious looking alien fucking cobra tentacle thing.

>>68764946
Or just don't waste time with an explanation and just make the movie as if you're continuing from Aliens.

>>68760197

Some questions are not meant to be answered.

Some things only work because they remain unexplained.

You are the lowest common denominator of movie audiences.

You should end your miserable existence.
