Weaver and Blomkamp on Alien 5 (Read 60,137 times)

Born Of Cold Light

I do have high hopes for this.  The art was amazing and showed a depth beyond what we saw in the first two films.

My objections to retcons are purely based on principle and if Blomkamp keeps his word about not undoing Alien 3 and Resurrection, I won't be complaining anymore (unless of course the movie sucks).  If done right, this could inject new energy into the franchise.

Hmmmm.. "I'm not trying to undo Alien 3 or Alien Resurrection..."

Not undoing 3 or Resurrection, not featuring Ripley 8...
So the Ripley in the film is just flashbacks? (with A LOT of makeup :S)
I'd be happy for Ripley to just make a cameo and for him to actually do something new from there.

I wonder if they might throw Amanda into the mix? But who knows it would be interesting to see though.

very interesting, I like that Sigourney pretty much says that she didnt like the way the movies went by the end.  And I think Blomkamp is pretty much saying that he doesnt want to officially retcon A3/AR, just ignore them and make the movie he want for HIS vision, which I fully support.

So this is like PREDATORS again, where it ignored Predator 2 to AvP-R and was more or less a direct sequel to the original Predator.

More and more, this is sounding like what Godzilla 1985 did... Serve as a sequel to the original 1954 movie, and ignore the rest. Meaning we COULD be looking at different timelines. Guys... Are we looking at different timelines now?

Who cares. A "Timeline" becomes irrelevant when more material set on it is no longer being produced. Like Star Trek or Star Wars Legends. Just focus on the new movies and let Alien 3 and Rez back there, like museum pieces.

"not trying to undo Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection"

Please, please leave them alone.  I love those movies.  By all means make Alien 5, just don't mess with continuity.

That's exactly what they're going to do. Leave them alone.

To "undo" a movie you first have to acknowledge it exists. They will do nothing but completely ignoring them. You better do the same so the continuity won't be "messed" on your head.

I care. Why? Because I care about the Alien franchise and the fandom.

Because I want to be happy.. I want EVERYBODY to be happy.

His comment about Alien3 (I don't give a toss about resurrection) makes me feel slightly better. Now I'm gonna go live my life, and catch the film when it comes out.
