This whole thing is also a huge gamble. Neill is talking pretty big if he really is making an entry that will act as a new Alien 3. If that's the case, it better be damn good and live up to Aliens like he hints. Anything's possible. It's possible this could suck MORE than Alien Resurrection. If that ends up being the case, this will all be a huge waste, all in vain, with the timeline totally f**ked with for nothing. And we'll be back to square one with fans whining over yet another subpar Alien movie.
Absolutely. The risk of turning the franchise into a total clusterf**k is far too high with retconning. Every sequel/prequel/reboot of every classic franchise in the last 15 years puts the odds very strongly in favour of it not being a good film. I wish it wasn't so but that's just the way it is.
If they do go down the route of it directly taking off from
Aliens then hopefully they'll at least give it an open ending where
Alien 3 could follow on from it if you want it to.
