Blomkamp is officially making an Alien film

[Magegg]

Let's use "superior sequel"

[RakaiThwei]

I... I don't know how to feel now.

He should really just continue on with RIpley 8 and finish the story.

Bret Easton Ellis was right about this being "generation wuss". "Awwwwww mommy mommy Hicks ish deaddddd waaaaaaaaahh."

Let's use "superior sequel"

Or truer sequel 

[Magegg]

The true sequel is Alien Outbreak 

[SiL]

The true best perfect sequel is Alien3.

Good luck trying to convince anyone of that

Except I wouldn't go to see it, and many people wouldn't because Resurrection sucks and truly marked the downfall of the franchise. I see QQ from people who are saying "NO ALIEN 4 IS PERFECT!"

Resurrection is a far cry from the first 2 movies and certainly a step below 3, but I do think it is superior to Prometheus and doesn't "suck".

Just because it's not a great movie doesn't mean that a great movie can't be made using the reborn Ripley character from that movie. I think it's just better that Hicks and Newt be left dead and then they can finally just finish the Ripley story for good instead of doing any retcon nonsense.

Blomkamp's movie could easily end up being worse than 3 and where the f**k is the series gonna be then?

I don't need to, most people think it already. Only a small, vocal subset of fanboys think otherwise

For me its an enough good sequel and closure of the series. I don't care too much what other people think bout it really.

[Valaquen]

"True sequel" cracks me up every time... 

I always see folk saying the same for Alien 3 in relation to Alien. If that's what it is for them, fair enough.

Who says that? I've never heard anyone say that before. I've heard people saying that it's tone is closer to ALIEN than ALIENS, but that's about it.

A lot of Alien 3 fans from around the internet who don't favour Cameron's movie. Put it down to anecdotal evidence, not a blanket or factual statement.

Yeah, I think they tend to exaggerate how "bleak" Alien is.

Ha ha, yeah. You better stay there in your little personal world

Fair enough. But compared to the raging mobs that refuse to see it as a "true" sequel it doesn't even compare.
