Disney's Plans Regarding Alien 5?

[Whos_Nick]

That's why they would've had Newt in her 20s, it was said this film would pass the torch to a younger actress anyways.

A source was asked for, a source was given. If there are opposition numbers with greater heights, enough to dismiss us as a "vocal minority" go ahead and share them.

I never heard of a petition against a film being made, have you?

https://www.change.org/p/20th-century-fox-don-t-retcon-the-alien-series

And 5k signatures is still a hilariously small amount. How is this the vast majority, again?

How many would you expect for ANY Alien related petition?  It's over twice the goal.  All I can say is try and top it:

Petitions are a poor indication of general audience interests. However look at pop culture and ask yourself. Why is ALIENS related merchandise iso profitable and why do they keep making Toys, Plushies, Video Games, Comics, Novels, Prop Replicas, Knick knacks, Apparel, etc. every year since atleast 1990? That's a good starting point for general interest in the series I should think.

Yeah those number of signatures are pretty pitiful.  Not nearly as pitiful as nearly 80,000 people signing that pathetic Last Jedi petition, mind you.

Another combat movie akin to Aliens (even if Ripley and Hicks aren't in it) would be successful.  Considering Riddles made a great combat movie in Black Hawk Down (which sucked in other regards), there's no reason he couldn't do something similar with a third prequel, and make everyone happy.

That was the plan for Alien 4 but it never panned out.

Thanks for the 25 yr old news. I'm pretty sure he wasn't denying Newt's fate. He was just positing the plans for the cancelled ALIEN 5 Blomkamp was working on.

I honestly can't wait till Riddles is finished with his prequel trilogy just so we can move on to something else, whether it be "Alien 5", "Aliens 2.5", Blomkamp or anyone else to be honest. It's just not sitting well with me and regardless of how you feel about it, there hasn't been a REAL "Alien" movie since 1992 and that's a long damn time.

I saw a new one in May last year.

[SM]

Yeah.  It looked pretty REAL.

As real as a make believe monster can be, at least.

I thought you were tired of all this Pro/Anti Blomkamp topics? Why do you continue too post in them? Especially if you find them so... disappointing?
