Alien TV Series From Noah Hawley and Ridley Scott CONFIRMED

Fair enough

[seattle24]

I never understood why someone who thinks the Alien is cooked would come back to the Alien franchise.  The last person I want making an Alien film is someone who wants nothing to do with the Alien.

This.

I don't think anyone truly cares about the "it'll never be as good as the first" comment - tongue-in-cheek as you like — but "the beast is cooked" narrative is boring and untrue.

However, some people in this thread have cleared up his role of Ex. Producer may clearly be down to Scott Free obligations etc. so I'm satisfied until we hear more.

Ridley is a passionate yet (over the long-term) incoherent lunatic with visionary vision for visuals.

He gets deeply caught up in odd tangents, and abandons them as quickly as he adopted them.

In interviews it seems to have as much to do with what side of the bed he got up on as it does any ideas he has cooking.

I like him, and profoundly enjoy the mess he's created here.

Ooooor maybe it's because you made a mess of the mythology and told a story no one was interested in?

[David_4004]

Let the man conclude his trilogy. I want to see the final chapter of David's story "One of the best Villains ever existed".



P.S. David is scarier than the Alien  .

[Kradan]

Amen

[David Weyland]

Ooooor maybe it's because you made a mess of the mythology and told a story no one was interested in?

Mythology is exactly that, a myth

The story is interesting, the execution of it is flawed by hammy writing and dialogue
The point of a prequel is to tell the backstory and or origin of the protagonist no?

[BlueMarsalis79]

Not necessarily.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, Mallrats, X-Men First Class, Rogue One.

[Mr. Clemens]

Not necessarily.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, Mallrats, X-Men First Class, Rogue One.

Ugh, why did that one have to be a prequel? At the beginning of Raiders, Indy doesn't believe in the supernatural. That doesn't jive with his experiences in the Temple of Doom just one year prior.

Rhetorical question by the way, not attempting to derail thread.

P.S. David is scarier than the Alien  .

public reminder that a lot of people thought Prometheus and Covenant were laughable...

[Voodoo Magic]

P.S. David is scarier than the Alien  .

Only when he tells us that he'll do the fingering.

[David Weyland]

Not necessarily.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, Mallrats, X-Men First Class, Rogue One.

However in this case that's what the intention was

[Evanus]

Dunno if David is scarier than the alien but I do know he's fascinating and his character deserves to be further explored. I don't care how laughable people think the prequels were.. apart from the fact I've lost too many brain cells from reading all the fingering jokes. 

[BlueMarsalis79]

Not necessarily.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, Mallrats, X-Men First Class, Rogue One.

However in this case that's what the intention was

Doesn't mean it has to be that though.
