Alien Films / Re: Alien ripoffs and requels
Last post by Nukiemorph - Today at 09:18:26 AMI finally watched Alien 2 tonight. The whole thing's on YouTube.
It has a few fun moments and some decent music, but it's extremely slow-paced and always feels like it's cutting corners. You could probably chop it down to a 30-minute fan edit without sacrificing anything important.
From IMDb:
That's such a bummer. If the director hadn't been a sleazy idiot, this could have been a really fun, cheesy footnote in the franchise's history. But as it is, it's so boring that it's not worth remembering.

From IMDb:
QuoteThe first draft of the screenplay was much more ambitious and expensive than what was ultimately filmed. The story would have featured pieces of a spaceship and an alien falling to Earth (the implication would have been that it was the remains of the Nostromo and Xenomorph from Alien (1979) as it was meant to be a "sequel"). These fragments of the Alien would infect people who came into contact with them and cause chaos in the city. A good budget was given to the director but a lot of the money was squandered on a new car, visits to casinos, a vacation to Cannes, and the services of lady escorts. With only a small percentage of the budget remaining and the investors refusing to give the director more money, the script had to be scaled back, resulting in the cave setting, the lack of an actual alien present on camera and only the basic elements of the spaceship landing on Earth and pieces of the Alien infecting people being used in the final film.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Mike’s Monsters - 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.
