Blomkamp is officially making an Alien film

[Kel G 426]

Yeah.  I get that.  I have no objection to any one of any age in acting roles.  I don't even object to Sigourney Weaver appearing in movies until the day she dies.

Then why did you make age an issue?

Bringing back deceased characters for no greater gain is my objection.

It's a very positive emotional gain for people who like those characters and the actors who play them.

Ripley is dead.

Only if you acknowledge Alien³.    besides, most people were never bothered by Ripley's death.  That's not the issue.

DEAD.   YOU GET THAT, Sonny? DEAD.

Why are you yelling at me, BUCKO?

By the way.  That wasn't Peter Cushing in 'Rogue One'.  That was a computer generated likeness provided with the permission of Peter Cushing's Estate and a stand in actor.  Characters and actors are 2 very different entities.   Learn the difference.

I know. Point stands.

lol

Nervous?

I'm an agreement with you though. I hated that Hicks and Newt died in Alien3 but they did. Going back seems silly. It reminds me of when Alien: Resurrection was getting made and there were rumors that the third film was going to be a dream. I wish Resurrection was a dream.

Alien3 as a dream? You cannot take seriously Alien movie if it's a dream. Alien3 happened and Hicks, Newt and Ripley are dead .

Then why continue the debate?  You have the sequel you want.  Why begrudge others of the sequel they want?

Why continue the debate? As far as I know forum is the place for debate. For that reason we share our thoughts and concerns. Do you feel offended by that? I hope not.

Idea of Blomkamp's Alien is silly. It's fan service at its worst. It will make more mess that you can imagine. I'm not against him though. I wish him the best and would like him to make an Alien movie but not in such form.

[Kel G 426]

Until there's more news to discuss, we're just rehashing the same arguments we've had for over a year.

Blomkamp is aiming for a retcon because that's the way to have Weaver's star power in his film.   No one wants the "it was all a dream" scenario and nobody wants a Resurrection sequel.  It's not fan service, it's business.

They shouldn't explain it at all. Just pick it up after Aliens & go a different route. Let people with bad taste still have the original timeline if they want.

Bad taste? Alien3 is great movie and you haven'r even seen Blomkamp's Alien because it hasn't been made yet. How do you know it's gonna be good?

Yeah, there was some rumors where Ripley wakes from cryo sleep and Hicks and Newt are still alive. I don't know how serious it was, but they were reporting it in big Sci-Fi magazines like Cinescape and Sci-Fi Universe.

Was Chappie any good? I've never seen it.

"They don't agree with me so therefore bad taste."

[Ingwar]

It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't watch it. Do it and make our own opinion.

Would have been great.

In 1988.

Just a premonition based upon Blomkamp's recent movies (especially Chappie) and the idea of getting Hicks, Newt and Ripley back on screen? What for? I hope it's gonna be good but I sincerely doubt that.

What for?

'Cos Blomkamp pitched them an idea, with Weaver on side, and Fox liked it enough that they thought it'd make them money.

Same reason any movie gets made.

You don't have to tell me that. I know it's about money. I wasn't asking about it. I asked: what for? Why doing this and messing with cannon?
Besides, because Fox like an idea doesn't mean it'll bring them money. It might be a flop.
