Alien Films / Re: Favourite Alien Movie?
Last post by gold - Today at 11:10:45 AMPeeh, you know exactly what I mean. Aliens and A3 were the last original movies (A3 disappointing a lot of fans). A: Res copied (and satirized) Earth War somewhat and everything since has been "Made in China":
"Here's yet another bunch of people, led by a female brunette, getting eaten"TM
Like badly copied Chinese car designs that try and copy BMW and Mercedes, the brunette actresses on Prometheus, Covenant and Romulus are even cast to LOOK like Sigourney Weaver.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯 - Today at 11:04:29 AMQuote from: Mike's Monsters on Today at 08:51:59 AMThe response so far has been awesome, thank you all for watching! Most of you are reacting very similarly to when I got the info. I'm probably tempting fate by even sharing the info. If I randomly stop posting or the video disappears, it was Disney who pulled the trigger!!!
Clearing some things up from some of the questions I've seen:
The impression I got was that that DNA was found in the derelict ship we see in ALIEN. Not in building a new one. It hints at somehow humans and Xenos being connected in the past. How? I don't have that information. It doesn't make sense to me at all. I too dig the idea of the ship being grown. But just not like this.
The information was given to me very broken up, and very incomplete. There's a lot more I know, but a whole lot more that's unknown to me too. So I can't really answer a lot of the "how?". I've been asking that since the day I was educated on all this stuff. So things like the film title, I don't know. The title of Ridley's next film kept being referred to as Destiny, but I don't know if it was planned as a placeholder or not. I'd heard "Awakening" for Blomkamp's, but I did not have enough confirmation to put that one in the video. Did Ridley call it something like that once?
I do believe the jockeys would be involved in some way, we see the Xeno mech suit having Jockey-like features, along with some of that Xeno concept art showing one in a chair.
Blomkamp wanted a lot of control. He cited creative differences, which I think was him butting heads with Fox when they gave him some "no"s on this stuff. He likely paid for all of this stuff going on behind the scenes out of his own pocket, which could add to his frustration on it not seeing the light of day. Ultimately, it wasn't Ridley saying no and calling the shots, it was Fox.
I wish I had remembered O'Bannon's comments about the xenomorph, that does almost line up with some of the Blomkamp stuff. Very interesting point!
I'll try to keep up with questions, but again, I don't have all the answers to give. But will try if I can! Also will respond when I have time. After fighting with this video so much to get it uploaded, I needed to step away and take some space from. I was quite frustrated with the delays, but glad it's out there for you all to finally see.
Great short documentary that neatly collates all the news and discussions posted on here over all the years. You should consider doing a feature length documentary film (ala Jodorowsky's Dune) one day if you can force Neill Blomkamp to sit down and talk about it.
What was the copyright notice you got slammed for in the initial upload? Background music? Doubt Disney would take this down. Or you for that matter.
QuoteI'd heard "Awakening" for Blomkamp's, but I did not have enough confirmation to put that one in the video. Did Ridley call it something like that once?
Wasn't "Awakening" supposed to be the last film in Ridley's prequel trilogy?
I think Blomkamp's project went under the codename "Red Harvest".

Does the quinitricetyline in Alien 3 count?

QuoteCan you name any weapon from A3, Res, Prometheus or Covenant.Name a weapon that's actually named in those movies.
Quote(or DuneCrysknife, lasguns. The lack of guns is kind of important to the plot; it's mostly standard melee weapons, except the Crysknife which has a distinct origin and significance.

Why didn't you tape the bloody thing for us man?
