..And people will still moan about it. I doubt anything will equal the 1986 Aliens. Aliens 3 people moaned, aliens4 , people moans, Prometheus, people moaned,Covenant people moaned.

After seeing the disjointed and disappointing Alien covenant. I wish they would let him do an Alien 3.  IMO , Covenant was just a flawed psycho android movie.  It did nothing to explain the engineers, and having an android be the creator of the alien is ludicrous.

It's very hard/impossible to be with Neill Blomkamp.

Blomkamp is a very mediocre director. His movies are like really bad copies of Paul Verhoeven masterpieces. He is a socialist by his own words and tries to insert his social theories in his movies. Elysium failed because of his excessive social theories scenes.

Ridley Scott is my favorite director of all time BUT I prefer him Directing OTHER projects like Westerns, War Films and Gangster Films. I prefer Ridley Scott in Historical Epics too.

The ALIEN Franchise needs a great and NEW director. Someone like Denis Villeneuve could work.

It begins to dawn on me just how tasteless what Ridley did is.  He has also stated that his favorite alien films are his own.  Does anybody have this exact quote somewhere?  He basically disrespects Aliens.  Aliens is the reason people are still allowed to make these sequels.  He has become an egomaniac and he is hellbent on doing these films so he can take credit for all things Alien.  He panders to fans just like Blomkamp except that Blomkamp strikes a resonant chord with fans while Ridley just "gives us more xenomorphs".  He is pushing this franchise towards the toilet.  I do enjoy his new Alien films on their own, but in the. I text of the whole series, they are a huge let-down.  David the robot created xenomorphs?  What a crock!

Stand back for a minute and think about how Blomkamp went about trying to get his film made while Scott was already busy doing his thing with the series. Trying to pitch a film through Instagram thinking online Aliens fanboys would make it work? He cynically used them all. Blomkamp was a complete bellend.

Carry on with the perfect imaginary Blomkamp masterpiece that exists in your own head. I mean there must be thousands of unmade Blomkamp Alien films sitting latently in empty eager skulls out there. Make up any shit you want, Blomkamp would have delivered no matter what.

Numpties

lol, he didn't "pitch the film through Instagram". He pitched the film directly to Fox long before he posted the concept art on Instagram. The reason he posted the concept art on the internet was because he didn't think he was going to do it anymore. In a IGN video interview he also sincerely denied that he posted the artwork online in order to garner public and media support for the film.

At the time Blomkamp made his pitch to Fox there wasn't much happening with regards to Prometheus 2. No-one knew if it was even still on. Besides, his film would have been an alternative sequel to Aliens, not Prometheus. He wasn't stepping on Scott's toes.

Enough with the facts!!! There are narratives and agendas to push!

Seems there may be some hope for Alien 5!

http://www.alien5-movie.com/news/amp/neill-blomkamps-alien-5-originally-did-not-involve-ripley

At the bottom of the article is a mention that an insider has info that Alien 5 is not as dead as we think.  Could be just a rumor...

I did check to make sure I wasn't just re-posting the same thing as was on the first page...

Any Director is an Egomaniac.

Do you think James Cameron isn't an Egomaniac? LOL....

Cameron called himself "the king of Earth". LOL

As a self referential joke to his film which had just won an Oscar.

  He basically disrespects Aliens.

By not putting the Queen and Colonial Marines in his films?  I don't understand.

I'm not sure there is anything to understand.

"At the time Blomkamp made his pitch to Fox there wasn't much happening with regards to Prometheus 2"

A followup to Prometheus was green lit a few months before Blomkamp uploaded his work to Instagram, I find it highly unlikely that Blomkamp didn't know that Scott had mentioned even before Prometheus was released he'd expressed interest in making a new series of films. If you believe what you say, then what purpose would it have served for Blomkamp to put his art out there if he had already had talks with Fox and they dismissed the idea of Alien 5? For all intents and purposes his shit stirring got the pot up to a rolling boil didn't it then?

Either he knew exactly what he was doing or he was very stupid. Yet people call Scott out for being a "Jerk"?

Agendas? Facts? I think they must be residing somewhere in a smelly, dark and rather unpleasant place it seems. .

What's wrong with thinking your own movies are the best? Was he going to pick Alien 3 or Resurrection?

Indeed.
