How do you want the franchise to handle Ellen Ripley/Sigourney Weaver in the future?

Ellen Ripley's story is over.

Isolation is her narrative's closure, the last message for us- and Amanda Ripley.

No thanks. She's dead. Let's stop flogging a dead Ripley.

I don't. Ellen Ripley is dead, and Ripley 8 was a poor idea to begin with.

But as I suggested in another thread recently, I wouldn't mind seeing her reprise her role through voicework, in professionally animated versions of Ward's and Gibson's scripts. Although Laurel Lefkow has done amazing work, and would also perform the role just fine.

While it had its problems, Alien3 and Ripley's heroic sacrifice was a perfect ending to that character in my opinion.

I just really wish Newt made it out alive, but alas, what's done is done.

Not going to happen now, but definitely option 1.

I'm not sold on Blomkamp as the director, but I would like a movie with Ripley  :)

I'll take one 'reprise her role as Ripley 8', give me that Alien Resurrection sequel. :)

Ripley is dead and her death was impactful and it wrapped up her story, best to let that lie even if there are things about that movie that stick out horribly.

At least Alien 3 left all the worldbuilding intact...then Alien Resurrection flushed it all down the toilet.

I like to look at is as more of alien3 flushing it all down the toilet and then the toilet getting clogged and overflowing out the turd that is A:R.

Alien 3 only flushed the characters down the toilet.  The universe survived.

I've written hundreds of paragraphs on this topic. But LT sums it all up in two sentences.

I think I'm gonna cry.

Here, have some tissue.

Thanks, man.  :D :D :D

Just to emphasize how unaffected the overall universe was by Alien 3, Gibson's script could have been easily modified and repurposed as Alien 4.

Just have the fire-gutted Sulaco roll into Anchorpoint and replace Hicks with some other reluctant hero who was already stationed there (named Turk, of course).

Or change the Sulaco to the Patna and have Michael Bishop show up bearing a royal facehugger carcass and the Bishop-android's upper body.

Yeah, there were a shitload of ways they could've gone before "200 years later, all the things you liked are gone!" after A3.

Hell, you still could've done AR within spitting distance of A3's timeline and kept all of the familiar elements. I'm not sure why it was pushed so far forward.

How else would we have gotten DiStephano getting worked up about "dude, an auton!"

At least you didn't get his other line  :laugh:

Is that his "eat my f**k" line or whatever it was Joss shat out that day?

Yep.

When you think about it Sigourney Weaver is just about the only thing that remained perfect through all four original Alien films.

Her, the set designs and scores.

The same can be said for Michael Fassbender, doesn't mean it should be the David Franchise anymore than the Ripley Franchise.

Probably to keep Ripley's sacrifice in Alien 3 still somewhat meaningful. I mean, what would have been the point of her offing herself and the unborn queen if you had Aliens running around all over the place a couple weeks later? At least with A:R's timeframe humanity got a 200 year break from the Aliens, though ideally the series should have ended at 3.

It would just mean that Ripley's sacrifice was as pointless as the deaths of Hicks and Newt.

Well there was that 57 year hiatus between Alien and Aliens. Maybe they were paying homage?

So, make the next entry stylistically as though you were going to set it after Alien³ then,
just change the date so it's a hundred or fifty years after AR.

I want Ripley directed by Ridley Scott in ALIEN 5.

Ripley 8 or an Alien 3 alternate timeline?

No Ripley.. it's time to move on from her Legacy. I'm also fed up with the main characters having to always be a female in every new Alien film. Don't get me wrong i love characters like Ripley/Amanda/Shaw/Daniel's ect. but I want to see a male lead in the next instalment if they reboot or do something new.

She's dead. Just let her character rest in peace for Xenos sake.

I've said before that male characters have been exceptionally represented in the Alien franchise, thus far. Parker, Hicks, Dillon. Very strong guys getting it done, not just male scenery. But with all the female representation going on in Hollywood, I too would like to see a male lead in an alien film. But it would have to be handled right. I continue to hope for Hardy to play Hicks in an adaption of Gibson's Alien 3.

That's really one of the wild things about this franchise when you think about it. Even though it's well known that Weaver is the main character, the supporting characters (both male and female) are so well written and given the perfect amount of attention. Consequently, Weaver blends into a greater ensemble, and everyone has impact. I've never felt while watching any of these films, that anyone was getting excessive attention. Each character was like a lead character in their own right.

Transgender Male/Female character pithee.

Baby steps.

Perhaps, or none.

Not a fan of alternate timelines. If I had to pick between these two options it'd be Ripley 8. But if I REALLY had to choose it'd be another prequel.

Indeed.

It'd probably be wise to finish off the prequel trilogy before moving on to other things. But I'd much rather Neill Blomkamp's Alien movie or a continuation from Resurrection even.

Neil needs to prove himself first, not just to the fans but to the studios as well, that way he won't get pushed about by them.

Quote from: The Cruentus on Oct 20, 2018, 08:03:12 PM
Neil needs to prove himself first

Then we're definitely gonna be waiting awhile.  :D

In all seriousness, if there is ever another aliens 86 style movie made, they don't need to wait for Neil to prove anything. He's had long enough, and he's just not up to snuff in my opinion. If his Robocop stinks, then I'd say it's definite.

I'm not one of the people who needs or necessarily wants a Cameron style Aliens movie again. But, if there must be one for any reason, they need to get to it. The fans who want that movie have waited long enough, and the people who could make it best are getting older by the day. Let Neil get credit for his writing, but give it back to Cameron or someone of greater skill.

These movies aren't getting made like Marvel films, where if one sucks it doesn't matter, because there's already 3 more coming out in the next 300 days to give you a chance at something better.

Personally, Ridley/Cameron, Alien/Aliens. It doesn't matter to me. But no more stuff like Covenant or The Predator. No more Shane Black or Neil. Someone with verified talent needs to take us back to the roots, and sooner rather than later.

After the success of 70 year old JLC, I'm sure FOX wants 70 year old SW as Ripley for ALIEN 5 or ALIENS 2.

Ugh.

Quote from: The Old One on Oct 22, 2018, 06:05:10 PM

Well, any major(including Disney and FOX) only cares about money. It's obvious they would want Granny SW after the huge success of Granny JLC.

Last time Weaver played Ripley she earned twice as much (adjusted) as it cost to make the latest Halloween.

True.

You can't make an Alien film for $10m.

Agreed.

I know. I just wanted to rub the sarcasm in a little bit more.

Weaver was an up and coming actor at the time of Alien. They should recruit more actors like that, keep the cost low on that side of things.

No more Ellen for me.
Her story was told and she died destroying the alien and denying WY their price. What better end can you give her, after the alien and the company took everything from her.
Reviving her in another form like they tried in Resurrection did not save that movie and even if you take regular Ellen and retcon her dead...what kind of story could you imagine for her?
Her stumbling again over the alien like in the first movie ? Trying to take WY down one woman army style? The latter would in my opinion warp the character into some kind of Jack Reacher or Jason Bourne and would take much of the "realism" of her character or the whole Alien universe.

Just take new characters and have them encounter the Alien and go from there. It lets the universe feel bigger, you have the added bonus that the new guys don't know what they are dealing with and are not familiar with the alien or it's lifecycle and you can save money if you take young, cheap talent over Sigourney Weaver. Thats money you can put into the script, the SFX or the design.

I don't ever want to see Ripley's character back either. She had the perfect story. But "Cheap" and "Talent" are not things that always go together. If Weaver was "cheap talent" back in 1979, then Scott was incredibly lucky, because she was and still is incredibly talented. What are the odds of that happening again?

The Alien franchise is not the new kid on the block, nor is it the cheapest. Skimping on the talent is something that might do more harm than good. It's still attracting the likes of Scott and Fassbender. This is top-tier talent. The mistake lies in the writing, which is feeling cheaper with every new movie. Alien can and should have incredible talent. It deserves it.

As it has been said, "when one note is off, it destroys the whole symphony". Do I think there should be a new direction with different actors? Yes, I absolutely do. But in no way should those actors come cheap. That just brings the overall quality down. Alien is beyond that. Leave the cheap talent for the cheap movies, I say. Keep anything cheap, far away from Alien.

You are totally right, cheap and talent may not be dime a dozen, but it is out there. Every top-tier talent from today had to start somewhere, Scott, Cameron and Fincher were not the big shots they are today when they made their entry to the Alien franchise. And you don't have too take cheap talent like direct to DVD B-movie cheap. Just maybe cheap in comparison with Sigourney, Fassbender and Scott.

And while i think the franchise does deserve the best talent out there, i don't think you need the most expensive a-lister actors to make a great movie. Talented of course, but not necessarily the most expensive .

Not saying I would ever want this, cause I don't, but what would be your reactions if they had the next Alien featuring Ripley, and they say everything that occurred in Alien 3 and A:R was a dream.

Like if it opens up with an older Ripley waking up to a night terror. Later we see an older Newt with a family. Maybe they include an older Hicks too. And Ripley just is dealing with the effects of PTSD or something.

Fury.

I would be pretty pissed. On the one hand because i like Alien 3, on the other because it is telenovela level of writing.
If you absolutely have to do it,  just ignore A3 and A:R  without any explanation. No explanation is better than such a lazy one.

She was dealing with PTSD in the beginning of Aliens 86. It's already been done.

If you must have a Ripley in the alien movies why not follow Isolation's lead and follow Amanda's adventures with the alien.
There is a big time frame between Ellen's disappearance and and Aliens. Iam not a fan of the whole Star Wars esque " the whole universe is about a single family" thing, but it would be a compromise. People get their Ripley (kind of) and you don't have to pull a 70 year old woman from the grave to squeez  back into a movie series retconning half of it.

For the people beeing all for retconning A3 and A:R bringing Ellen back, how would you continue her story? After Aliens with another younger actress as Ellen ? Or after a decades long time skip with Sigourney ?
Also, what kind of role could Ripley play in the potential new movie?

If you retcon 3 and Resurrection then bringing Weaver back is a no brainer.

It just won't die. Unless this is just an older quote?

As (Weaver) told THR:

"We almost started to do it when I was working with James Cameron. But by the time we were put off by Fox, Neill had gotten so many jobs that we'd have to wait probably. I'm busy doing Avatar 4and 5. I love working with Neill and I think he'd do a terrific job, and James Cameron really thinks it's a great idea, so you never know. Right now, I think Neill's got like three projects going at once."

It's a recent quote, but telling us nothing new.

Nah, you just use it as a launching pad for more films to take place after the new one.

Bringing Ripley, Newt and Hicks back doesn't have to retcon 3 and Resurrection, it can just be an alternate timeline.

Even if it's treated as an alternate timeline - you're still retconning 3 and Resurrection.

Indeed.

Okay... if you say so.

Unless your script literally features timelines (Terminators, Back to the Futures, Star Trek reboot), the  majority of the filmgoing public will see it as just a retcon.

✓

Maybe for a general audience but not for all fans.

I'm a fan and I would take it as a retcon too. Unless they address your alternate timeline theory in the actual film, I believe most fans would see it as a retcon, including Alien fans that buy the films who are not consumed enough to appear here or explore the EU.

However, the great thing is, you can personally compartmentalize the retcon as anything you like: an alternate timeline, a what if, what really happened.
Once they start retconning you can decide for yourself personally what is canon and what is not, the way you see fit.  ;D

got that edit in too slow but yeah you're right

Yeah I think Voodoo Magic nailed it.  If you don't have something like time travel as an established part of the universe that allows for actual alternate timelines, then it's simply a retcon.

Time travel is not a concept that I'd personally like to see introduced into the Alien franchise.

Nor I.

No time travel.

The best stories force you to live with the reality.

There is a form of time travel in the form of unusually long hypersleep; but that's only really forward.

Yes, time dilation but that sort of 'time travel' is hard science-fact. Which helps make Alien all the better.

However going back or forward at will in the time stream would convolute the entire series up. Plus it would introduce the resurrection of dead characters on a whim. To keep reality intact, the dead should stay dead... unless you clone them of course. Which I don't have a problem with. It no less unrealistic than faster than light travel.

Please...no more...with a voice over in some series..

I think "the general public" are getting used to ret-cons. I think that the latest Halloween movie just ret-conned the previous 10 movies or however many there's been; from what I've read so far, it's done ok with the critics (I don't know how well it did at the box office thus far).

Funny, I just saw Sigourney Weaver in "The Defenders" (I had no idea she was in it) - I'm sure she could pull it off if they were so inclined.

"Aliens III"- Ugh.

In all seriousness, I completely agree. I don't like the idea of time travel taking place in the Alien series. Outliving others due to hypersleep, yeah, that's completely cool for Aliens but not actual time travel and alternate timelines. It just doesn't gell for me.

Lets have the alternate timeline.  Retcon.  Whatever you call it.  It's the best way to make the series work again.  Nobody is going to make a post-Resurrection film.  If that's the case you can be sure nobody is going to jump at the opportunity to make a post-Alien 3 film either.  Even on this site, in all fairness, nobody is clamorong to find out what happens to Ripley-8 on earth.  I have yet to see that conversation.

No. f**k that.

Well Hicks has said he would be interested in seeing where that goes, I'm sure a few others have said so as well. Personally its not a story I would like to follow but I can see why some would be interested.

It's like there's a willful ignorance regarding the fact that the best Alien novel has great new characters and
doesn't involve Ellen Ripley in any capacity?

Interesting characters - but all varying degrees of selfish arsehole.

I'd love to see more Ripley 8.

But the other people who also want that wouldn't fill a theatrette.

It was more the point that you can set it in the Alien/Aliens/3 era (For all intents and purposes) people remember, with compelling characters-
without literally dragging Ripley out of the grave.

I can't disagree with that at all. As with all things, just depends on the talent of the people responsible for it.

Let's all be grateful Hill and Giler never got to introduce time travel to the Nostromo in 1979.

Remember the reports of their later scripts incorporating Hercules, Ghengis Khan, and Jack the Ripper, used by the crew as combatants to help kill the alien?

Even though I'm not particularly fond of it... like others have mentioned, I too have witnessed some support here for Ripley-8 future installments. However, I don't believe that would be the right direction go to curry favor with a large portion of the general audience who used to hold "Alien" and "Aliens" in high regard, but have since abandoned care towards this franchise due to disappointment towards later installments.

However, after the critical and financial success of "Halloween", and if Linda Hamilton's "Terminator" mirrors that success, a retcon starring Sigourney Weaver to erase the previous generally percieved wrongs and missteps, could be a huge injection of freshness and life into Alien. I think it might be what the franchise needs... with a story that doesn't paint the franchise in the corner, and can be continued with Newt if they ever see fit.

A retcon might not be what all the fans prefer, but it seems like a good model for success.

I'd rather the franchise rot than turn into trash with it becoming Ripley and her Surrogate Family fight the company.
What utter, stomach churning garbage.

It's getting pretty crazy. If terminator couldn't rest, then Arnold and Hamilton need to stay away from it. That's one of the few thing Salvation did right. Arnold was just a cgi cameo, and Hamilton was a picture and some audio.

This whole business of retconning and bringing back actors feels like it's more about money, and not good storytelling. What's next? Alan Alda returns to korea next fall? Well, perhaps just to dig up the time capsule.

Hawkeye MD: The Search for Teddy.

Haha Indeed.

I'd like to see Ripley 8 meet David to kind of bring the franchise full circle. I'd love to see her land on some giger-esque planet where she comes across the remains of David. Id like to see him fused to some kind of Giger-like machine construct having been immobile for some 200 years and abandoned by his creations.

We'll be there for you, armed with lots of antacids, if it indeed happens.  :)

I agree that doing an alternate Alien 3 would be the best choice forward after the prequel movies are finished. I would love to see a continuation of Resurrection on film but that's not at all likely to happen. Setting a movie between 3 and Resurrection wouldn't really work because that ruins Ripley's sacrifice and the point of the USM cloning her. A story post-Resurrection without Ripley would also work.

On another note it'd be amazing to see an anthology series of animated episodes with some episodes featuring actors from the movies as voice actors. One episode could be post-Resurrection with Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder and Ron Perlman, another could be an early marine mission with Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen etc., maybe a Space Beast episode narrated by Paul McGann. And a bunch of other episodes completely unrelated to the movies whilst others related to the prequels. Something akin to Animatrix or Halo Legends.

They're trying to get the same mileage out of Amanda and that's no bueno

It's time to press on.

Kane's actual son. Let's do it. I'll write that, I swear.

He did with vasquez. It was so insane, the only thing they could name him was "Badass Awesomeness".

He never needed slippers.

Half-joking, to be honest.

I am working with somebody on an AU story, just for fun. We're still planning it out.

I imagined. I have looked at some of your fanfiction, suprised at how much you wrote just from the Sulaco crew, very creative on how you expanded the characters. It was fun. Made me think of one day trying something like it on the alien/predator universe as well.

Thanks.

I would like to see Sigourney in another film. Not that it really matters but it would be refreshing to see her reprise her Ripley role again. Preferably either a reboot after Aliens or using her story after Resurrection.

It's the Die Hard issue for me the same character ending up back in a very similar situation. After a few times it's just silly and when it's a serious franchise you have to move on. I always saw Resurrection as a tongue in cheek almost Meta alien movie.

I can also do without the obvious Ripley stand in characters. Not saying no to strong female leads but they always skew too close to Ellen Ripley.

Saying that I liked her daughter being in Isolation because it felt like it made sense.

But let's have something fresh.

Big agree.
