Alien 5 to be "Genetic Sibling" to Alien & Aliens

[UHF]

It'll take a while. 7 stages of grief. The denial part is done and they're in the anger part.

We need to accept this is happening. And that's it. Criticism should be left for the actual plot, which we really don't know anything about. Even I tire of these arguments. They're just one opinion vs the other.

No need for the veiled condescension.

There is absolutely nothing to accept. There has been NO hard confirmation a retcon will happen, and if you listen to this interview with Blomkamp ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ihfeibtCQ#t=60 ) he says "I'm not trying to undo Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection".

The seeming merger of the alien armor with Ripley actually has a very Resurrection-esque vibe to it.  Based on some of the pictures, we might get some pretty grotesque stuff on par with the Ripley clones.

I was searching through Blomkamp's art and I found this.  Based on the design of the cocooned victim, I wonder if we might see the return of the egg-making from the deleted Alien scene:

I'd be extremely excited to see egg-morphing make a return.

Yap. In fact, he's saying pretty much the complete opposite, there will be no retcon

ALIENS wank-fest at my place guys!!  Remember to show up in your best HIX cosplay!

Retcon or not I'm not excited about this movie at all. Don't think Blomkamp is the right person to direct this. Of course it could be worse (way worse), but still.

Sounded to me like he meant "no disrespect to 3 and Res, I'm not going out of my way to get rid of them, I just want to follow on from Aliens which, in the process, would have to overwrite 3 and Res."

But hey, I guess anything could be possible.

Yap. In fact, he's saying pretty much the complete opposite, there will be no retcon 

But didn't he also say that he wasn't going to be following on with the Ripley 8 character? Didn't he or Weaver also say that this movie was set directly after ALIENS? I mean there wouldn't enough time for something to happen between the events of LV-426 and what happened on the Sulaco.

I think he was being sarcastic.

Maybe they have another adventure on the Sulaco where the only survivors are, yet again, Ripley, Newt, and Hicks.  As far as I know, nothing in Alien 3 would explicitly contradict that.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Basically, the way Blomkamp is talking, he's not actively seeking out to destroy 3/Res. He just wants to follow up on Alien and Aliens and, in the process, 3 and Res kind of have to wind up casualties.

Just curious,

what WOULD you like to see in this new movie? A continuation from A3 with new characters?

Actually, yes, that would be good.

At least Michael Bay isn't directing it.

Why would he be sarcastic? Unless I'm mistaken with something here as I'm assuming you're referring to Blomkamp.

Maybe they have another adventure on the Sulaco where the only survivors are, yet again, Ripley, Newt, and Hicks.  As far as I know, nothing in Alien 3 would explicitly contradict that.

But how long were they floating in space on the Sulaco after the events of ALIENS? Can someone refresh my memory regarding that?

Didn't Ripley supposedly destroyed the last xenomorph with her sacrifice?
