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. Numptieslol, 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.

Quote from: Perfect-Organism on Jul 10, 2017, 06:52:29 PMIt 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!
