Was david cronenberg ever considered or shown interest in the Alien franchise? I loved the style of his old movies even though I find a lot of his films to be a little slow and boring there was always something about it that I enjoyed, it always feels uncomfortable and I always felt bad (in a good way) when it was done, Dead ringers is a perfect example, its every good and well made (Jeramy Irons plays twin gynaecologists that are sharing the same patient/girlfriend and are both suffering from drug addiction and and other mental illnesses) but but it it leaves you with an uneasy unless feeling by the end.
