I cannot express how happy I am to hear that the nail is finally in the coffin on this idea. Every last thing about the Blomkamp project looked and sounded absolutely abysmal, from the cast (sorry but we don't need to go the 'Halloween Ends' route), the concept art that featured zero of the franchise's aesthetics (has the guy ever seen an Alien movie!?), it appeared to be nothing more than a 'greatest hits' of Aliens in the style of Resurrection targeting the 'big-badda-boom' crowd and demonstrated nothing of the tone expected of these films in the glimpses we were presented with. It would have been to the original Alien trilogy the equivalent of Milla Jovovich's final Resident Evil movie to the Resident Evil PS1 games. We didn't just dodge a bullet, we dodged an orbital nuke with this one. I'm not even going to pretend to be apologetic to those who hoped to see it - it's evident that sometimes the audience needs saving from itself... 😅
What I would say, is that the concept art would make for an acceptable Marvel Comic 'what-if' run similar to Gibson's Alien 3, but beyond that... let it die 😅
