So whats Blomkamp actually gonna call the movie?

[Corporal Hicks]

Calling it Alien 3 is just going to cause people to confuse it with the existing movie. It should be "Alien:_______" followed by the title, not a number.

This is what I'm expecting too. For the same reasons. Though I have no idea what title would be such a huge giveaway.

I'd still like Alien 3.2 though.

At this point, I feel like Blompkamp remaking/reworking Alien 3 is a big fat waste of time and money.
He should just do something new in the Alien universe.

But that's what he's doing. It's a new story.

A new story with dead characters?

Calling it Alien 3 would be a bad idea. Though I'm not sure what subtitle you would put at the end without it sounding cheesy. Hopefully they have better ideas than I do.

Yeah, this. There's so much scope for something different, beyond simply pressing the reset button. I'd much rather he be completely original.

I like Blomkamp's movies, don't get me wrong. But I really don't need to see a "everyone's ok and not dead yayyyyyyy we are nerddsssssss" action movie rework of Alien 3.

Finish Ripley's arc with Ripley 8 (if you are insistent on using Weaver) or do a completely new story. Shit is already about to get complicated enough with Ridley doing "Alien: Paradise Lost"

[Whiskeybrewer]

I had a couple of titles for my own version, so he's free to use them as I'm not sure my story would work until I see his film lol

Alien : Bloodlines
Alien : Revelations
Alien : Generations
Alien : Genesis
Alien : Prayer

Dudes lets call it what we really want to call it.

Aliens vs Ripley

[wmmvrrvrrmm]

I think he should just go ahead and call it Alienado or something

Aliens inside of a tornado... why not just make them aliensharknado and call it done.

He's obviously j/k but it wouldn't surprise me if Fox renames Prometheus to "Alien: Prometheus".

Kind of like how Star Wars was later renamed to "Star Wars, Episope IV: A New Hope" after the sequels came out.

So looks like his original title has been scrapped? The one that would have given too much away? Hope he's not dead in the water now.

[T Dog]

Hmmmmm I wonder what's going on behind the scenes here.

Fox see's fans getting very excited about another "Alien" movie. Then there's a tug of war between Ridley wanting to do Prometheus 2 and Blomkamp wanting to do Alien 5. We know Blomkamp's concepts are stepping on Ridley's toes a bit.
Ridley being the workaholic he is and wanting to get his project on the go suggests; "hey I can just Alien up Prometheus 2 if you guys want, two birds one stone". Blomkamp thinks "shiiiiiiiiiiiit".

In the end though, does it really make sense for Ridley to be working on a series of films leading up to the original and Blomkamp making a different Alien movie in the distant future of that universe. Honestly, how do they market those movies unless of course they were to somehow link up?


UPDATE
Well I just read the Empire piece. I sure as shit spoke too soon.

He's got a wicked sense of humor. 

Why not take the title and do a cliché?
