If we get another movie, sequel or reboot, which actors would you like to see?
Or who could you imagine playing certain roles?
Lena Headey (Game Of Thrones, Sarah Connor Chronicles,...)
Company boss bitch. Female lead maybe.
One of my favorite actresses besides Charlize Theron.

Timothy V. Murphy (Irish dude from Sons Of Anarchy)
Pilot
(https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/tbex/images/d/df/Timothy_V._Murphy.png)
Michael Pena
Co-pilot, mechanic

Tom Hopper (Black Sails, Game Of Thrones)
Security/military. Hicks kinda guy. Smart, though guy and with a good heart.

Walton Goggins (The Shield, Justified, Vice Principals)
Mechanic, security, military. Could also see him playing a role similar to Bill Paxton's.

2021 edit: added those from my other posts
Mark Strong (The Guard, Brothers Grimsby, Kingman)
Could see him playing a crew captain or a good guy working for the Company.
John Jarratt (Wolf Creek movies and series)
Grizzly military leader.
Ingrid Bolsø Berdal
She looks right for the part but I can't remember her acting.
Only saw her in Cold Prey (aka Fritt Vilt) 1 and 2. Guess I'll have to watch them again.
Apparently she's also in Hercules with Dwayne Johnson but I didn't see that one.

Tom Hiddleston
Could see him playing an android. He reminds me of Fassy and has a similar vibe going on.

Danny Wattley
Started watching Loudermilk and noticed this guy. Seems fit to play a tough, good guy mechanic/soldier type of guy. Certainly has a presence.

Timothy Olyphant
James Spader as a biologist.
When watching nature documentaries, I noticed most researchers have a lot of enthusiasm for their job. Spader would be perfect for displaying that kind of enthusiasm. It'd be very similar to his dialogue in The Blacklist when he's reminiscing, only the subject matter would be different.
Or as Company scumbag.
Thandie Newton
Thought about her before but couldn't really see her playing the part. But now that I'm watch Westworld again, I think I could see her play a female lead.
Maybe someone like Vickers.
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9c/6a/3d/9c6a3d2cd23764e9a4b90bd356a7404d.jpg)

Mads is a good shout, I'd like to see that. If it had military types then Karl Urban is always good value in that type of role. I'd love to see Tom Hardy in an Alien movie though.

Follow the first two
Alien movies. That is, get strong actors, including those who have worked extensively in theater. Also, use actors' appearance and age to amplify atmosphere. For example, for the cast of the first movie, Ebert writes,
QuoteNone of them were particularly young. Tom Skerritt, the captain, was 46, Hurt was 39 but looked older, Holm was 48, Harry Dean Stanton was 53, Yaphet Kotto was 42, and only Veronica Cartwright at 30 and Weaver at 29 were in the age range of the usual thriller cast. Many recent action pictures have improbably young actors cast as key roles or sidekicks, but by skewing older, Alien achieves a certain texture without even making a point of it: These are not adventurers but workers, hired by a company to return 20 million tons of ore to Earth.[17]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(film)#Cast
This technique is mostly lost to contemporary producers, and only because they need attractive A-listers to increase ticket sales.
For any cast members playing military personnel, follow this move from the second movie:
QuoteActors who played marines were asked to read Starship Troopers and undergo military training, which included running, lifting weights, learning salutes, marches, deployments, and maneuvers, for two weeks. Cameron wanted the marines to train together so that they would form bonds that would show on-screen. Sigourney Weaver, William Hope, and Paul Reiser were absent from training because of other obligations, but Cameron felt that this suited their characters as "outsiders" in the film.[11]

LOL!
Several recent movies have "Game of Thrones" veterans.
They would be cheaper to hire than A listers.
But even better for a producer/director, is to get cheap unknown actors who are effective enough to help fill seats in a movie theater.
Take Sigourney Weaver; before "Alien" she was pretty much only a stage actor.
Getting her for "Alien" was great casting.

Paddy Considine as anyone really. I just think hes a fantastic actor.

I just want good actors. Nobody would have picked Katherine Waterston, but Ridley Scott doesn't watch blockbusters with popular and well known actors. They all get started in indies which nobody here watches but that's where all the new talent comes from. A known face is the most predictable.

I'm not 100% sure the story is true, but that doesn't disprove anything. Mary Goldberg may have simply contacted Ford's agent and it was declined at that stage without ever getting to the audition stage.

If I'd see Harrison Ford on board of a spaceship, my brain would go "Han Solo" all the time while expecting to hear Star Wars music.
I think the cast of each new movie ( barring some weird choices like the scientists in Prometheus) has been quite good. Even the Covenant cast is quite good. There's nothing wrong with the casting choices. Harrison Ford and Leo aren't going to make an average story better.
So I guess my answer is, it doesn't really matter.
Cast does matter a great deal, but this thread is pretty much a testament why fans shouldn't never really get involved in the
actual film making process. (And if you ask me lot of the hardcore fans have abandoned this site after Alien prequels were released)
Covenant as flawed as it is, did the casting a lot better than the suggestions in this this thread minus a couple exceptions.
I personally think the stars of the Alien films should be relatively unknown but highly talented, take inspiration from no further than the original films. You don't need a whatever name that gets to be cast in the most blockbusters of today to make a successful Alien film, and obviously there is no need to shun away abtalented popular actor/actress if the casting doesn't break the budget. Sorry for the 5am getting wasted in a club post but you get my drift.
I consider this thread something to kill time while we wait for news.
In reality, I prefer less known or unknown people. If they're talented enough they can do the job just as well as the big names.
This way there's more budget left for other stuff.

I mean I gave Oram some heavy criticism, but it wasn't anything to do with the acting ability. I even thought McBride was pretty decent.
It's kind of a shame they'd already burned Theron. She was spot on as an action star in Mad Max.
Yeah, I think that the lesser known actors especially Amy Seimetz, Ben Rigby, Carmen Ejogo gave performances as good as Crudup or McBride or even Waterston.
To be honest I love the cast and aside from all of the problems of the movie, I personally have to say that in terms of casting, it is one of the best in the franchise.

I'm not 100% sure the story is true, but that doesn't disprove anything. Mary Goldberg may have simply contacted Ford's agent and it was declined at that stage without ever getting to the audition stage.
Yeah but the only source for that story comes from Garry Jenkins' biography about Ford. And he specifically wrote that
Scott had offered Ford the role of Dallas at Elstree studios, which would suggest a face-to-face meeting. There's absolutely no mention whatsoever in any other interviews with Ford or Scott of any prior contact, either directly or through casting agents before Blade Runner.
Scott did however meet Ford at Elstree studios for the first time in 1980 to offer him the role of Deckard while Ford was still filming Raiders of the Lost Ark. I suspect Jenkins probably got his facts mixed-up.

Oh, those were the days. What'd they do to you, James? You'll do Why Him? but not an ACTUAL role in a Ridley Scott Alien movie!
And Rebecca Ferguson as Daniels was also a maybe at one point. I think Cate Blanchett as well. Ridley also met with Leonardo DiCaprio a few months before filming on Covenant began but I think that was probably for a possible role in The Cartel which at that point was still scheduled to be filmed after Covenant.

Did you just pull those out of a lottery style ball dispenser with famous peoples names inside.
No. Some are stars which worked with Ridley Scott in the past. Others are people I love.

I consider this thread something to kill time while we wait for news.
In reality, I prefer less known or unknown people. If they're talented enough they can do the job just as well as the big names.
This way there's more budget left for other stuff.
True, can't argue with that.
Quote from: reecebomb on Dec 02, 2017, 03:02:08 AM
Cast does matter a great deal, but this thread is pretty much a testament why fans shouldn't never really get involved in the
actual film making process. (And if you ask me lot of the hardcore fans have abandoned this site after Alien prequels were released)
Covenant as flawed as it is, did the casting a lot better than the suggestions in this this thread minus a couple exceptions...
Yeah.
As for the question, "Who would you like to see in the next movie?"
I have no preference in terms of casting.
When I saw "Alien" in 1979, I had no idea who Sigourney Weaver was.
Seeing "Aliens" the first time in 1986, I didn't know who Carrie Henn or Lance Henriksen were.
- Casting directors specialize in getting the talent for movies.
* I'd just like to see a new Alien movie in the next couple of years and I'll go with whoever the studio and filmmakers choose.

She was in talks, but it she also took a role The Snowman, and that would have created scheduling conflicts it seems.
I honestly feel like they need to cut down on the amount of actors in these films. Too many red shirts that we don't care about, which is detrimental to the horror that's going on in the film. The actors are fine, but half of them just aren't fleshed out or utilised properly. To me, Alien films work better when it's a more intimate, smaller cast.

I agree. If Fox would had kept it to Rapace and Fassbender with some engineer/neomorph horror would had hit it off the park.
I guess the movies are a little more complex now. Both Alien and Aliens are simple movies so there's more time to get to know everyone.

That's why it took 5 years to make, because they couldn't figure out how to make that work.
Another one came to mind. She looks right for the part but I can't remember her acting.
Only saw her in Cold Prey (aka Fritt Vilt) 1 and 2. Guess I'll have to watch them again.
Apparently she's also in Hercules with Dwayne Johnson but I didn't see that one.

But Fassbender was also in The Snowman and he managed to work around it. Maybe she was already committed to Life whose principle photography timeframe ran parallel with that of Covenant?

Viggo Mortensen as bad-ass Corporal or head of security and Hiroyuki Sanada as his side-kick.

I was taking the Mick. Movie with such a cast will never happen but to be honest I would love to see it. I prefer cliche characters than flat as pancakes protagonists from
Prometheus and
Covenant.
Since when Helen Mirren (age 72) would have been cliched stereotype in Alien universe?
They've done cynical broken woman in various Ripley incarnations. This one just drinks. If you want a grandmother in an Alien film - you already have Sigourney Weaver.
All female cast in Alien films are young women. I would like to see elderly women in Alien movie but no Weaver. Ripley is cooked for me.
My idea for the movie made this morning:
Elderly lady. Damaged by life ex-military who works as only security officer on ORION (small scientific spaceship) owned by WY. She earns extra money for her retirement or she's already retired but has nothing left to do on Earth or other colonies. No family. She doesn't have good relationship with the crew but she's there because of the security protocol. She's bitter person who secretly drinks. However, she likes synthetic IGOR (servant in Gothic stories).
Orion comes back from the mission and received SOS from scientific space station belongs to non-WY corporation. They don't have to go there (different company) but scientist know each other and Orion's person in charge decides to check it out. At the same time mercenaries (mostly with military background) hired by WY head towards the station and have no choice but to invade Orion and take control over the ship. Female protagonist goes to the cryo-sleep just for few hours (it's part of her plan). Mercenary leader doesn't want to kill the crew. Together they board the station which seems to be abandoned. Mother is off line or works but cannot say a lot because of agenda. She pisses everyone off or as A.I helps and acts against WY protocol. Some mercenaries meet enormous GOLIATH (station's bodyguard type synthetic) during exploring and it doesn't end up good for them. He also knows a lot what happened. Our grandma wakes up and joins the party. And then everything goes south because ... . It's just an idea. Nothing else.

I'd definitely like a larger female presence in the next main cast and throughout the film. I'd like them to try and at least better hide who the final surviving female character ends up being.
Yeah, surprise us like in Train to Busan.

They should pull some kind of Game Of Thrones. Kill some of those of which we think are main characters while a side-character emerges as the new hero.
Or give us a lone male survivor. While we think our female's the lead, she dies terribly.
Or everyone dies while David flies off into deep space. This way there will be a man (android?) made ruin left behind for a possibly sequel.
And David's still around somewhere in case someone wants to pick up that thread.
I kinda the idea brought up by Ingwar. Have Takeshi Kitano as Hideo Yutan.
I saw bring in Ethan Hawke. That guy brings a certain level of gravity to whatever he does, even if the film he happens to be in is ridiculous.
I forgot Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Jason Momoa, The Rock, Vin Diesel, Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, etc....
Momoa I wouldn't say no to but the rest are people I just wouldn't want to see in an Alien film.

Also loved these suggestions too:

Truthfully I wouldn't hate a new AVP movie set on another planet if done correctly with a good director and cast like this.
I'm divided when it comes to Tom Hardy.
He's great when he plays characters who are a little off. Like in Peaky Blinders or Legend. But when he plays a somewhat serious, normal person, I find him a bit average

I'd like that. Suits an evil CEO character not to do any actual work and just use replaceable work members.
Each time we could see some vice-CEO or manager type receiving orders from up the work ladder.
And it's easier to cast a cheaper replaceable actor for each movie, instead of one big shot for one important part that kinda requires continuity.
I don't even need the CEO to be evil. I think it's more realistic if corporate amorality is what really encourages people like Burke to behave the way they do rather than some sort of "evil mission statement" from the head honcho.

Amoral is kinda what I meant with being evil.
I didn't say the orders would be the reason the person why the person would act amoral.
I mean the orders themselves could serve in some way as the presence of Weyland or Yutani.
The person receiving them and the way (s)he responds to it is another matter. Would depend on what the story needs.
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned her, but ii think Ellen Page would make a great addition to a new line of alien films. A Young, ambitious and strong female lead is what the franchise needs.
I also vote Tom hiddleston as mentioned to be a robot.
I think we should bring in the guy who played Samuels in Isolation to play a similar-line android. I think Robin Wright would play and excellent strong female ship captain. If the next film with Aliens ends up being an AVP reboot (I will picket them if they attempt to make a sequel that even remotely acknowledges AVPR as canon -shudder-) they should have Machiko Noguchi, or a character inspired by.

Add Michael Stuhlbarg, Karl Urban, Armie Hammer, Sharlto Copley, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson and Jason Clarke to the list of actors I would like to see in an Alien film.

While I vaguely remember enjoying Descent, we're talking about the next Alien movie. So the point still stands. :) And there's been a good few years since Resurrection came out. I'd like to think that wouldn't be such an issue anymore.

It would be interesting if they used Ash as the next droid for Awakening. He interacts with David and helps link with Alien.

James Franco, Patrick Wilson and Guy Pearce have gotten the shaft in the Alien franchise, would have liked bigger roles for them.
Agreed. As strange as it sounded at first, Franco has the acting chops and personality that could have brought more to the table for the Covenant characters. Wonder if McBride helped score him the cameo. I almost wish the roles were reversed and Franco's character survived.

He's been mentioned before. At first I had my doubts, but after seeing him again (in The Office US) I think he'd be perfect.
Why? He mostly looks about 50% angry (bad guy), even when he's playing a good guy. Just do a google image search for him.
There are pictures where he looks happy but you still get the feeling somehow he's up to no good.
With the right dialogue for his character, I would never know if he's playing a good or bad guy. Making him perfect for certain parts.
I quite liked him in Deadwood, but there were times when he said something like 'bidness' and it stuck out like dogs balls because the character was otherwise quite well spoken.

This is the list of expectations we have about the final prequel to Alien (I will give my personal expectations then, this list is dedicated to general expectations):
What we will most likely see:
● Alien's expectations:
- The Derelict on LV-426, as well as related issues:
- Derelict: crashed or landed?
- The warning signal
- The birth of Space Jockey's Alien
- Where does the hole in the ground come from?
- Blue light : stasis or alarm?
- Eggs: transported or arranged after?
● Alien Covenant's expectations:
- Improvement for final appearance of Xenomorphs
- Alien Queen
- Why the Derelict crashes on LV-426, coincidentally next to LV-223?
+ From Ridley Scott Synospis: Engineers will come back to Planet 4 and see what David has done and they will want revenge.
Possibilities:
- Logical justification that Daniels is Ripley's mother
- Logical justification of the long wait between the end and Alien (2112-2122)
My personal expectations:
- The Ultramorph coming out of Space Jockey. (From the time we talk about it or draw it, I want to see it)
- Death of everyone (I would really like this tradition of the surviving humans to stop, Daniels and Tennessee or the settlers, I wish everyone died)
I hope you understand my bad english ^^'

That is one thing I'm glad we escaped with Covenant and I certainly hope they never consider using again. Cheap.
I'm just like you, but if it is like this, we must have an explanation !
Using Ripleys daughter in Alien: Isolation worked but using her mother is too much. It's getting into the Jaws 4 territory that the family has a curse to fight the sharks for their whole life. Actually Alien: Sea of Sorrows hinted at this, and I am not a fan of that theory.
People might hate me for this, but another Michael Fassbender droid besides David. But this is only because I love him in most of his performances (especially in these films), and he usually steals the show. As long as they don't go overboard and have twelve Fassbenders I'm fine.
People might hate that idea, but folks on this forum won't hate you for it. Only morons and assholes hate people for their ideas.
That said, I like that idea. Walter should of won. More Walter.

I'd really like them to flesh out David's character more as well. We got that in Covenant, but the motivations just seem, rushed. I'd love for someone to argue with David from just a logical standpoint of why he's doing what he's doing. Yeah I know he has daddy problems with humanity in whatever expanse it has, from the far past and then present, and yes I know he's hornier than most androids and is baby crazy. But what I really want isn't "I hate human graugh, they are weak" because that's so trite. You would think, even an AI as compromised as David, would give logic to his ideas. Which is why I really want more of Fassbender next installment.
At this point you really need for David's motives to be fleshed out, otherwise he just comes across as a Nazi with all this talk of weak and strong. And that's really not a good look for your primary villain to have if you want people to relate to him like a, I don't know, Hannibal Lector. The point is Hannibal knows he's sick but he really doesn't care because he loves him some people. David's motives I think shouldn't be that crude, but I think you know where I'm going with this.
Exploring David's motivations and reasoning should be the prime focus, because while he always steals the show, I just want more of him to express David's nature. Why he does what he does beyond a cartoonish kind of "I hate all humans, I love myself and my dreams" kind of deal. Why is that, exactly

I don't think he really hates humans, he just looks down on them and considers them inferior. They ruined their own homeplanet and are looking for a new one. In his mind, they had their chance.
If you want more reasons, think of all the crap humans are capable of and have done through the ages.
Why he likes to create? He's been stuck working for Weyland for lets say 50 years. All this time doing menial tasks for inferior beings, not being able to explore, create,... Could be that it drove him mad. And once he was free, he sorta went into overdrive because he was held back for so long.
I do want more David in the next movie, but I don't need him explaining how he became what he is. Rather see him go the crazy scientist route, quoting poetry and ranting about creation and the universe.
Btw, this discussion might be suitable for a seperate topic ;)

Second movie in, I realize they should have really cast Mads Mikkelsen as David if they were going this route.
James Spader as a biologist.
When watching nature documentaries, I noticed most researchers have a lot of enthusiasm for their job. Spader would be perfect for displaying that kind of enthusiasm. It'd be very similar to his dialogue in The Blacklist when he's reminiscing, only the subject matter would be different.
Or as Company scumbag.

As a matter of fact, I accepted it many years ago. I thought hicks and newt dying was a good choice, as it tore any last shred of hope away from Ripley. I'd just never even heard of Hicks living until I read Gibsons draft not long ago. Would I like to see such a movie retcon Alien 3? No. Alien 3 is my favorite movie in the franchise and I love it just the way it is. But that script by Gibson was just fantastic, and the correct direction for the series back then. Alas, it's too late, but at least we still have a good movie.
Just out of curiosity, and I mean this with absolutely no offense, but do you ever plan on saying anything positive? You seem to have plenty of negative things to say.
I do when there's something good to discuss.
Check out my review on The Cold Forge.
But the simple fact is good stuff gets discussed less often, rare is the discussion of the places the Alien universe could go with fantastic content coming out at the minute in Tristan Jones work on Defiance- which should've, like Dead Orbit been entirely penned by the one artist. For some reason the merits of this new stuff seems to be mostly ignored in favour regurgitation of the Neill Blomkamp topic.
That's why I react like someone bit me on the arm whenever, an alternative A3 is brought up because the discussion ends up inevitably being a never ending blackhole of "Hicks and Newt tho..."
Alien Theory's YT channel is currently disappointingly fueling that fire with the abysmal "Welcome to ERF" saga at the moment, rather than literally anything else.
I'm still in favour of a Blomkamp aliens flick with Hicks and Ripley. The movie business needs to get it out of its system and the fans of that project need it in theirs. Just so we can move on from the subject.
I personally prefer more Prometheus/Covenant type stuff. But space is big enough for both.

We already have three Alternative A3's, Earth War, ACM and now this upcoming comic.
We don't need it and never will, the idea has no real potential either. It would be a TFA style regurgitation that ultimately nobody worth their salt would ask for.
I would genuinely prefer anything else, the Alien franchise needs to go back to being a venue for upcoming artists to bring their own sense of style and direction to an entry in the universe like the first four did- not the opposite.

I don't think my comparison is unwarranted.
I have no faith in Neill Blomkamp and to me another sequel starring Ripley 8 or Ellen Ripley would devalue the franchise. No need to call it crap, it's only my opinion.
Even if I am more than a little salty about the idea of alternatives to Alien 3 to begin with & the reason I don't want it to be like modern SW is obvious and pointed out in the second part of my paragraph. Bad but interesting is better than being decent and lacking any identity.

Well, sorry but I'll never take back that anyone that wants regurgitation is worth their salt because they are pointedly not, there's nothing worthwhile about clones with no new ideas of their own.

There's nothing wrong with liking TFA, there would have been if it's intention was to replace another SW film with something that contributes nothing new but actor chemistry- but even though it mimicked; it never replaces. That's the red line.

An Aliens inspired film, I'd be all for- just not with Sigourney Weaver or Michael Biehn.
I think it would be better if we just established new characters, to me Alien should be like an ongoing anthology series where we don't focus on one group of people/character endlessly surviving the Alien.
The main attraction being that the creative team is different enough to be distinct for each entry.
Think how different Thor Ragnarok is from the Winter Soldier but they both are excellent in their own right.
As I would argue everyone can agree Alien and Aliens are majorly different but both excellent.

The topic would also be over if Sigourney Weaver passed away as well, and I don't wish for either of those things to happen.
They can still do the different stuff, the problem with the Alien films since 1997+ isn't that they haven't got Ellen Ripley but that they aren't good films in their own right. It's the same as the Ridley Scott "The Alien is cooked." Discussion; it's not the ideas but their execution.

Putting aside Star Wars which is complicated in terms of what should be canon:
I'll stick with the Alien universe with my comment.
- The idea which I don't like is getting rid of films from canon in the Alien franchise.
For instance having Ripley, Newt and Hicks surviving in a new series of Alien movies would not work for me.
- Some people get emotional about this and I can add my own emotional slant.
Weaver has said that after "Aliens" she demanded that Ripley be the only survivor.
Weaver rejected a sequel where she, Newt and Hicks were living on earth.
- And now decades later Weaver wants to change her mind and eliminate 2 movies from canon in the franchise?
My most polite response to that is NO!
The Alien prequels are expanding the Alien universe while logically being connected to Ridley's views on the franchise over the years, using production ideas from the original "Alien" and adapting some similar concepts from "AVP".
- And there are other ways to add to the franchise without deleting movies from canon such as taking the story from "Alien Isolation" and making a film from that.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien:_Isolation#Plot
;)
Which sequel was the one where Ripley, Newt and Hicks live on Earth?
I wonder if Weaver ever read Gibson's script. ;D
"So do I have any lines in this?"
"Page 10"
"Hmm, okay."
"No, it's just page 10.
I wonder if that script was written solely to leverage their position in negotiations with her.
I don't think she was that interested to begin with. They commissioned two Gibson drafts, a Twohy script and a Red script before they hit on Vincent Ward and I don't even think his original pitch had Ripley in it.
You should go read the Eric Red script again.
Yeah, nah.

Yeah I remember hearing about that too.
Would she be holding a ridiculously huge bundle of guns for no reason whatsoever when she showed up in 4?

When are you going to interview Gibson about his work on Alien 3?
I tried in the past. No reply. He doesn't like talking about the experience, I believe.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with their work, but Daveed Diggs and Alden Ehrenreich are two more actors I'd like to see lend their talents to the Alien universe.
I would actually love to see Danai Gurira play somebody. Buzzcuts on females needs to be promoted more.
Danai would be cool. Letitia Wright (Black Panther) and Alex Essoe (Starry Eyes) would be neat as well.

Katherine did a fine job, but Letitia would've made a great Daniels too.
After finishing Sense8 I could see a couple of cast members in an Alien flick.

Molon Labe and Valerie Serbu

Anthony Hopkins and/or Mads Mikkelsen.
As mad scientists. Or just a regular scientists. Heck, as anybody.
I'd love to see a film version of Rogue or labyrinth with them.
That's multiple votes for Mads.
Johnny Depp:
Older, lost weight and still has that look in his eyes. Would be great for playing whatever character that becomes obsessed with the xeno, black goo,...
Edward Norton, as a company stooge.
And Joel Edgerton as a mechanic, a pilot or some kind of regular dude

In a smaller role, I think he'd be fine as a random crew member. He's got that average guy thing about him. He was great in the thing prequel and exodus.

I do think he's got his talents, I just can't see it. But that just my opinion.
The Thing prequel reminded me of this guy:
Kristofer Hivju
Could see him playing some semi-bad ass type of character (sacrificing himself for the cause).

He was in Fate of the Furious too. He was Charlize Theron's right hand man.
I'd still like to see Edgerton in an Alien movie. But like I said, in a smaller role, like Verlain from alien isolation. Somebody that gets you there, maybe gets one running away scene or just some radio dialogue, and dies off screen or just quickly. Pretty much his same role from the thing prequel.
My running list so far is
Mads
Emily Blunt
Tom Hardy
Cillian Murphy
And maybe Ralph Fiennes (because the man is such a fantastic actor)
Were I getting less realistic, but more fun factor, I'd include Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, and maybe a younger Jean Reno. Like from Godzilla 98.
Knowing our luck though, the next actual Alien movie is going to have Ryan Reynolds and Tom Cruise.

He's got that "buckle up" guy sort of vibe. A regular guy at the bar sort of thing.
Mads though, that guy needs to be in an Alien movie, if there's any justice in the world. But as an android or mad scientist I don't know. But I'm leaning towards scientist. Or maybe the new head of Wey-Yu who's just cold -blooded as all-get-out.
Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin would be 2 others I'd pick. I could see Blunt being a tough pilot like the gal from Rogue. And Brolin as a military guy.
Gazing way out in left field, just for fun, I'd say a younger Jean Reno. Like from Godzilla 98.
Knowing our luck though, the next actual Alien movie is going to have Ryan Reynolds and Tom Cruise.
And Game Of Thrones.
The way you describe Edgerton's character, I could see it. I just guess I don't like him that much, I dunnow.
Mads would be sweet indeed. We can only hope...
Blunt is good. Brolin seems like a waste of budget. He's good but could easily be replaced imo.
Jean Reno is too comical for my taste. I mainly remember him from his lead role in Les Visteurs (great movie btw).
And this topic is all for fun :)Killing time and exchanging opinions until we get fresh news to discuss.
Cillian Murphy has already been running around a spaceship trying not to get killed.

Just for fun, what about
Dan Aykroyd and Willem Dafoe as the un-identical twin garbage haulers
Tom Sizemore as Sgt. Rance Boltan
Bob Hoskins as space ninja Master Shintoa
Martin Sheen as the librarian
Jude Law, as Martin Sheen
and Bruno Ganz as Space Hitler
In.......Alien Resurrection 2.
I'm in.
Sweet. I might change Martin Sheen's role to Book-keeper though. Somebody's gotta keep track of everything. Now if they can get Oliver Stone to direct, and make like it's based on actual events that'd be perfect. They can have an after credits scene to set up the next sequel. Benicio Del Toro is working undercover at Wey-Yu as Ol' Mrs. McClardy in Payroll, stealing office supplies for seegson. That is, until he stumbles upon something alittle more...interesting.

Well, Ryan Reynolds was already in
Life and was pretty good in that. Just because he's primarily a comedic actor doesn't mean he can't play straight roles well. I mean, we've already had Danny McBride!
Dunno if someone mentioned him already but Colin Farrell would make for an amazing panicky dude. He's incredible in In Bruges at that, plus some of the delivery he has for the jokes is great. He'd make for a great Hudson type character.

In Bruges is feckin' great.
Could see him as a panicky dude, but not military. Rather a mechanic or something.

Aye, wasn't seeing him as a military dude either but a ship mechanic sounds about right! Add some of Parker's personality to him, always complaining about terrible work conditions and shitty pay and you have a winner.

Similar to his complaining in In Bruges.
"What do I care about aliens. Feckin' E.T.'s and all that shite. I just want to get home and get paid. And as soon as I get this piece of junk fixed. I'm out of here."
Ted Levine would be cool as a Weyland Yutani employee.
Kenneth Branagh
As either a crooked scientist, or one who still value's human life and won't go along with the bull anymore.
I can see him both yelling "We are scientists! This is what we do!" and drinking heavily in his office while wallowing in regret and self pity as all hell breaks loose on the station.
Bring back Brad Dourif as a mad scientist.

Thandie Newton
Thought about her before but couldn't really see her playing the part. But now that I'm watch Westworld again, I think I could see her play a female lead.
Maybe someone like Vickers.

I like to see somewhat lesser knows mixed in with bigger names. It's hard to find people who don't already feel attached to another big franchise. These all I think would fit in really well though!

Honestly, I kinda prefer Cameron's approach and casting unknowns for most of the parts. All of the actors at the inquest could have been transplanted straight out of any real-life bureaucratic conference room and I wouldn't have known the difference. That made it seem all the more real to me.

Bit like the HBO approach.
A lot of their past series all had talent that made you think "Where have they been hiding these people?"
But sometimes an actor can't shine until he gets the right part. Like Ian McShane in Deadwood.
With little or well-known actors, you already have an idea what they're capable of so it makes sense casting them.

I tried to watch it once. Got about 4 minutes into it and after hearing people drop the Big C about 60 times I just changed the channel. I can hear every other word in the book all day long, and the most violent content, but that word gets my gander up.
Me too. But it's worth persevering with Deadwood.

Boyd Holbrook (shut up he's great as Boyd Holbrook) as Boyd Holbrook.
Ben Mendelsohn as "never look me in the eye" scary Australian.
Kim Dickens as the best thing about this and any other movie (first to die).
Dylan Minnette as the confused kid who somehow survived by looking confused the entire time and is probably an android.
FEATURING
Steven Lang as an angry person.
Lance Henrikson as Dylan Minnette's dad (maybe).
They should cast Elon Musk as Weyland.
