Sweet!! I remember that in the Aliens DVD with commentary, Scott said that he always wanted to do a movie going back to the Alien's home planet-I hope this is it, but even if it's not, I have very high hopes with Scott directing!

Now that's good news, not a everyday thing for hollywood movies.

The script is being done by some new Sci-Fi horrow writer according to AICN: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41887Icarus wrote:The film should be worth watching, as long as the script is decent. No amount of good directing can compensate for a poorly written script.

Yes mine. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I like that movie.Was Resurrection -anybody-'s cup of tea?
I didn't mind resurrection - if only they'd cut some of the stupid humour from it, it would have been much more credible.DEL wrote:A prequel with Ridley Scott directing again would be awesome - I hope.

Mainly for Ron Perlman, Mr Wincott & Mr Douriff. It looks good, sounds good, the characters are strong. The story is similar to the Dark Horse original (unless I'm wrong and the film came before that particular storyline in the DH comic?).

The series already lost legendary status with 3 & Ressurection & the ridiculous AvP spin offs.Skykid wrote:Meaning which, film or director?Super Laydock wrote:Another legend will likely bite the dust!
I'd say it's good money that this movie convenienty forgets that the aliens look like they do because they hatch from inside humans, and so the pre-human-contact bunch should look significantly different, and instead has them all exactly as we've come to expect.Ed Oscuro wrote:I don't know the opening to Alien that well, but basically there aren't even any humans before the Nostromo gets there, right?

Indeed. At the risk of sounding unpopular and a little stupid, I've always ranked the 3rd as the best film. The script was weak as shit, but Fincher is a better director than anyone else that's touched the series. Definitely better than Cameron, but Aliens was a great action flick.Just imagine if Fincher could have gotten his way with Alien3, instead of FOX suits stepping all over it.

Indeed there seems to be some precedent for it in Alien (like I mention just before) but it still smells to high heaven to me. Even if there's no coherent argument against it, well, just look at Star Trek: Enterprise.E. Randy Dupre wrote:I forgot that there was the possibility of human contact prior to Alien.
The only contact they seemed to have had was with another alien race-remember the alien pilot of that ship in the first movie? Perhaps they'll tell his/her story. I'm sure part of it will be told, because the ship is how the aliens got to LV-426 in the first place.E. Randy Dupre wrote:Black Hawk Down was a pile of shit.

I forgot that there was the possibility of human contact prior to Alien. When this thread first started, I could only see a prequel being like the opening twenty minutes of 2001, with apes replaced by aliens, which obviously wouldn't make for the most entertaining movie-going experience ever.
A cobbled-together family unit goes on more craaazy alien-fighting adventures! A lot of fans of the second movie would probably like to see something like that, but I think it would turn out pretty lame no matter how it was executed. Alien3 was downbeat, but I don't hate the direction it took.PC Engine Fan X! wrote:There was one Alien 3 script where it was suppose to continue the further adventures of Lt. Ripley, Newt, Hicks and company after the ending sequence in Aliens.
There's a coughing-in-the-first-act line in Alien where Dallas says that the ship's regular science officer was replaced by Ash at the last minute, suggesting somebody at the Company was anticipating some weird shit. The line wasn't in the DVD director's cut, though.dave4shmups wrote:The only contact they seemed to have had was with another alien race-remember the alien pilot of that ship in the first movie?

That would be stupid, yeah, but even AVP-R remembered to make the Predator-spawned alien different, so I wouldn't worry yet.E.
