Alien Isolation / Re: I modded third person back...
Last post by TheDerelict - Today at 05:16:38 AMAh ha, well this finally explains why the author of that Alien: Isolation novel wrote Amanda as being blonde.
So it wasn't a terrible book after all, he could just see things the rest of us couldn't.
I take back anything I ever said. 😏

Somehow this has escaped me, was not even aware of it till I saw your post. Thanks for bringing it to my attention blue, looks amazing.

Alien Films / Re: Alien3 Legacy Cut
Last post by TheDerelict - Today at 05:06:39 AMHoly f**k.
I was not aware of this. Just watched the trailer and I'm almost speechless. Not been the best week if I'm honest but this has certainly lifted my spirits.
That shot of the Patna approaching fury...f**king hell mate. 😍
So I'm guessing this is the assembly cut, but with the dog, perfect.

General Film/TV Discussion / Re: All Ridley Scott
Last post by KiramidHead - Today at 04:50:26 AMAn interesting bit of info I found in Stone: The Controversies, Excesses, and Exploits of a Radical Filmmaker by James Riordan. Scott was approached to direct Oliver Stone's batshit insane draft of Conan the Barbarian.
Going by the time frame, I'm guessing he backed off Conan for the same reasons he quit Dune, not wanting to deal with the large scale production after his brother's death.
QuoteSince the studio wouldn't accept Stone as director, Pressman approached Ridley Scott. Scott was enthusiastic, and Stone wrote the project with him in mind. Though he liked Stone's first draft, Scott then became interested in doing another film instead.
"Ridley Scott backed out at the last second," Stone elaborates. "I begged him not. I went down on my knees to him. This was after he made The Duelists. Alien was finished, but we hadn't seen it yet. He said yes, and then he said no. It broke our hearts when he decided to do Blade Runner instead."

Alien Prequel Series: Prometheus & Alien Covenant / Re: Ninth Circle Editions
Last post by GrimmVision - Today at 04:07:22 AMI rewatched the parts of the Agent 9 cut involving Fifield and Milburn getting lost. It's two lines of dialogue that got cut where Milburn says "We've been here before Fifield." and Fifield responds "I don't know, it all looks the same to me."
They also removed Fifield's howl after releasing the pups which I thought was unwarranted given it robs him of a personality/character moment.
I'll take into consideration removing those lines from my cut, but I'm not convinced they're that big of a dealbreaker that they need to be cut. The map that the pups create are for the Prometheus' mapping systems. Does the ground crew have access to the maps being created? I know they have little screens inside their helmets but I figure those are for their suit statistics, like oxygen, and their personal vitals.

How do the cgi scenes with the alien running look, are they still weird looking or did they clean it up?

Maybe they'll mention ACM and how it's the true sequel to Aliens.
