NICE ALIENS PRINT

Jim, have you heard the next Aliens movie will follow "Aliens" and cancel out the third and fourth movies? Blomkamp and Weaver have said so.

Jim said...

Yes.

I'll wait before I get excited. I've been burned with 2 shit sequels, 2 shit offshoots, and 1 (soon-to-be 2) shit prequels.

Fincher, Jeunet and Scott are all great directors, yet made shitty alien films (Scott's shitty one being 'Prometheus')

And I saw the Blomkamp concept art of his pet alien project, which apparently lead to him being hired for 'Alien 5'... it had some terrible terrible concepts in there - the alien helmet/mask Ripley is wearing is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

So with all that, and it being 30 years after 'Aliens', I have little hope for success. I'll wait and see what comes out as it moves forward, and will most likely wait to see the actual film until I've heard from a few reliable (like-minded) friends who give it a thumbs up.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me 5 times, I'm a fucking idiot.

I'm a little less enthusiastic than I was 5 minutes ago, because I just read they'll be connecting it to Prometheus.

Jim said...

Link?

If true, and its connected to Prometheus, I will not see it.

Randallw said...

Sorry, had to have a technician come over to fix our internet.

I'm sure I read something that led me to think it was connected to Prometheus but I can't track down where it was. Weaver and Blomkamp have sort of backed down now from saying they'd cancel out 3 and 4.

I sort of liked Prometheus, if you don't consider it an Aliens film. They really messed up the monster for the end.
