A new fan film called Aliens: LV-426 has surfaced this week from Brazilian filmmaker Márcio Napoli. It’s loosely based around the events in James Cameron’s Aliens and it’s about an adult Newt returning to LV-426. There, she finds a damaged Bishop android who helps her find out what happened. There’s no xenomorphs or creatures – it’s a character based segment but it’s wonderfully shot with some impressive CGI and sets. Newt is played by an actress called Luiza Greca while Bishop is played by Sergio Barreto. The fan film is 11 minutes long and the language is Portuguese but there are English subtitles available.
Thanks to Hicks for the news.
I'll be publishing an interview with Márcio Napoli next week too. Look out for it.
Well, first of all wanted to mention that I'm very happy with all the comments, be they positive or negative. I believe that the criticism also make us grow!
Second, I want to thank you on behalf of the entire team for the support that we're having and the disclosures! We are very happy, really! Keep going guys!
Thank you so much!! You guys are amazing!
Anyway, I think any Alien fan would get a kick out of this. Hats off to the creators.
That and the chest-bursting suggestion. Although, that could have done with a sudden spreading of blood under the clothing, like Kane's had done. Perhaps a sudden sound of cracking ribs as the camera cut away.
It`s not that I don`t like it, but original story with such effort would be much better IMO.
If it was two random characters, how would you know that it's set in the Aliens universe? It's not as if it has to be canon.
To be honest, lack of fable (even siplest one) is grip in many fan productions.
Could have actually been done just the same way if they had simply changed the character names to completely original ones.

One of the better fan films I've seen recently
I thought the quarantine set was very well done.
Using close ups of Newt & Bishop cuts down on need for a detailed planet set & costumes. Showing Bishop from one angle and in shadows also saved doing elaborate damage make-up on Bishop.
Smart choices. Better to show quality in small production then a bigger film that doesn't look good. imho
