Blomkamp is officially making an Alien film

[Magegg]

As for the X-Men films, THERE ARE explanation for those plotholes, you only have to make a little of research.

Why the hell should I have to? The film should bother to explain it. Not doing that is insulting to the audience, like they're expecting us not to ask questions.

That's the point, you don't need to, you only have to enjoy the movie. That lack of explanation doesn't hurt the experience a single bit.

A good director/writer knows when there's a need for explain something and when is not.

There's literally no excuse for not bothering to explain why a main character who died is suddenly resurrected.

This is off topic but I just want to point out that Xavier's resurrection is explained in X3 for those who were paying attention. 


Now back to the main topic:  "I'm not trying to undo Alien 3 & Resurrection" - Blomkamp

All I can say is, Thank God.

All they are saying is that they don't want to disrespect 3/4 -- it is still going to start anew.

I thought HuDaFuK was referring to how Xavier magically got his body back.

Its shown in X3.  The guy that he puts his mind into is his brain dead twin. The end credits show his waking up.

But starting anew would be undoing Alien 3 & 4...Which Blomkamp says he isnt doing.  What am I missing here?

[OmegaZilla]

He told The Guardian that it's what is going to happen. The problem with everyone is that they're taking things a bit literally.

Yeah, Blomkamp isn't going to pull a Equilibrium on Alien 3 and Resurrection.

"Burn it."

I saw that part, but his twin?!  Whaaa?!?!

Yeah the Xavier thing was explained in the movie. His body back is a bit more obscure but a quick search explains it. But how he came back to life is explained.

I'm down with the alternate timeline but wouldn't mind too much if A3 and AR got retconned.

[RakaiThwei]

Still hoping this is an alternate timeline thing. Really am pulling for that!

Me da sueño ._.

Did you ask Neill about his new pair of shoes while you had that conversation about the movies? just curious.

He says he's not trying to undo alien 3 & 4, but that he just wants his film connected to the first two...Then Weaver says they are still working on the story and that its just beginning to be fleshed out. I am still cautiously optimistic that this wont be a pointless continuity destroying retcon but they dont even have the story fully formed so who knows what this film may end up being.

I got the same vibe from what he said.
