Generation Effects. Though to be fair, ADI did support him and obviously Tom modelled for him but essentially it's a test/pitch/fun make-up effect by Generation Effects and David. And we've seen this in the past.

I think we're probably looking at something substantially different for the mystery marquette.

He is but he owns his own make-up effects company.

David Woodruff isn't the son of Tom?

I can't imagine so. It's not even ADI's work.

Is this the maquette Blomkamp commisioned from ADI that Woodruff mentioned? The one that they had to keep under wraps?

I apologize if someone else shared this, but a new interview was conducted with David by the site Sinful Celluloid. You can read the interview here.

They have new, exclusive pictures from the makeup test, but I cannot post the images on here because the site has all of the content protected to where I can't paste the images and any text from the interview.

Those decisions are from over 20 years ago. Ripley's story was FINISHED. Then they dug up that story again for money. So Fox and Blomkamp need to work with that story if they are going to continue using that character. He doesn't HAVE to use Ripley. It was his choice. So if he's going to do that he ought to at least feature the clone version and just kill that story and FINALLY we can move on with the f**king series once and for all......
This retcon is as bad as killing off the characters in the first place. Let's just MOVE ON!

Why should a new guy stepping in have to "live with" the decisions made by the studio when trying to cram a film in to meet a release date, though?

FANFIC!

Is that really necessary?

Yes! This bringing back Hicks thing is just.....eugggghhhhh

I just wish they'd live with their decisions from the early 90's and stop trying to alter history and fix the past of movies.
Hicks died, it was shit, but I'm over it! I want to see a NEW alien movie not a fanboy's wet dream alien movie.

One thing to consider is that acid is very deceptive though, in terms of how much damage it does over time. Initial damage can grow worse over a matter of hours. Same of any burns, really. They tend to look a lot worse with time. Remember, Hicks gave himself a pain shot before Ripley went into the hive, and then Bishop gave him another one (and had already bandaged his face if I recall correctly.)

I wouldn't put too much stock into these shots. They are done more to show off their makeup and lighting talent. All that stuff is just bits they had lying around.

So in an alien outbreak you have 12 hours to get the f**k out of the area?

The Queen did have Ripley's DNA inside of her... probably making her more human bitchy than usual, she was also pregnant, hell she had one bring Ripley to her to watch the birth. What the f**k was up with that? Was she just gloating in Ripley's face? Like ha ha, check out my baby maker I got from you or did the queen accept her as a fellow alien? Surely the plan was to laugh at her and then facehug... no wait, no more eggs... eat her?

ooohhhh that's right, she was not making any eggs... there was no reason to round up the silly humans as hosts. So the aliens pretty much just hung out at the hive. That's it eh.

Though of course there were those eggs in the trap where they swam into the two aliens in the flooded mess hall... that was probably all the eggs pre-baby maker. That other alien was probably just on it's way to the hive and got lost. Just like Fifield did. So perhaps the other aliens were carrying the eggs there and opening the pipes to herded them to that room. No one ever appreciates the behind the scene teamwork.

In the original script the aliens were doing something to the queen as I recall. Bathing her in blood or something. Gediman said something about them draining him of blood. The Newborn in the script was actually vampiric. Ripley was intended to be a snack for the creature, too. (There was none of that emotional bullshit like in the movie.)

I can agree with that since I doubt much acid got on to his face, after the attack his face and ear looked fine except maybe his cheek.

Hmm, still think the Hicks facial damage is a tad O.T.T to be honest...

They are clearly willing to listen. Wolf is a far superior Predator design when compared to Scar/Celtic/Gills.

I agree...still dislike that predator though but thats due to his behavior not his appearance which was back to standards more or less. ADI do need to be bit more vocal when asked to do something, they should be like "no, Aliens are supposed to be bio-mechanic, this design flies in the face of that, we need to make it more like the orginal". Of course the problem is that the studio is the one with the power sadly and they like to cut corners and be lazy, so suits are re-used...bad suits. plus I am pretty sure ADI need to eat so they would have do their job no matter what, kinda sad really because despite the films they had to work, they are very talented and the blame should not be placed on their shoulders, I keep seeing people on here going "no ADI for Alien 5" when its directors and studio that made the design choices.

I think Niell might go the bio-mechanical route...hopefully.
