I'd imagine Cameron is quite happy to see that Blomkamp wants to continue after Aliens. I hope Blomkamp takes it upon himself to pick the brains of both Scott and Cameron for the new film. It's always been my dream to see an Alien movie that had the tension and terror of the first, with the action and fun of the second. It's possible to do, just need the right mindset, writer and director.

What Doctor Wunderbar said. I think Fincher is so over this franchise, which is totally understandable. I mean, I feel so over it too sometimes and I'm just an ordinary geek. Fincher on the other hand was tortured from day one. On a good note it must have toughened him up.

I'd be inclined to go a step further than it toughening Fincher up; I think his terrible experiences from making Alien 3 are quite likely a very big reason why he would go on to be such a consistently great director. In a way, I think it really drives him. :) But that's just my thoughts.

I would love it if Cameron ended up co-producing the film with Ridley. It'd be a really great seal of approval for the new film, I think, which would be something my dad would definitely love to hear.

Ugh, that would make this whole project even more unbearable than it is. The thought of Cameron's inflated ego in an A3/A:R retcon makes me throw up in my mouth.

What if Fincher endorsed it?

I'm not sure he ever even really cared about the first two movies; I think he simply needed a gig, and they gave him one.

No, he was a big fan of 'Alien'. I don't recall exactly what his feelings were on 'Aliens' (he either liked it or didn't have any problems with it), but there are many articles which reference how Fincher was attempting to replicate Scott's tone with the original, lone hunting creature. Think Giger wrote about how enthusiastic the guy was.

Cameron won't care about this at all if Blomkamp decides not to film Alien 5 in 3D or HFR.  ;D

Quote from: Local Trouble on Mar 04, 2015, 03:47:21 AMToo bad Fincher didn't have the stones to disavow it back then and let it be an Alan Smithee film.

I think I read somewhere he tried to have his name removed, but they wouldn't let him.

Or maybe I've just confused it with a totally different film.

I think the experience still left a bitter taste in his mouth, though.  Fox has reached out to him on more than one occasion to get commentary or an introductory spot or editing for their various DVD and Blu-Ray releases of the films; he made it pretty clear that he was done with the series.

Fincher knows the faults of ALIEN 3 were not due to him. If anything the movie might still haunt him of the presence of the production companies and he might find peace in knowing that it's being "covered up" in a way.

I think Fincher's response would be "What-f**king-ever.  I'm done with that franchise and I have been for over 20 years."

ugh I know. I also watch Fight Club every month and praise myself on how smart I am above the plebeian masses. I wish Stanley Kubrick made Alien, I wish everyone was unrealistic and woefully smart as I am intelligent smart and intelligent, I love when I'm in an echo chamber.


Yes, Fight Club is my favorite movie and I'm the smartest guy in the world... Not.

Thanks for your input.
