Ridley came into Prometheus with a strong screenplay from Spaihts and then it just went to pot. I really hope its worked on well for the next however many.Umm, I remember the Spaihts stuff sounding absolutely horrible. Was the screenplay really that strong?Spaiht's script was a much more solid piece of work than the final product. It needed polishing - as tmjhur says, removing the direct tie-ins to Alien - but it was a far more cohesive piece of work.

So with this i stop caring about these films and will likely put them on the bottom on the Alien\Pred franchise. That's right, i will put AVP on top of these films.

Quote from: Liberator on Sep 24, 2015, 03:53:55 AMIt makes sense to embellish with back-story now, rather than make an independent movie.

Quote from: whiterabbit on Sep 24, 2015, 09:49:13 AMWait, just to be clear, we're talking about the ultramorph script/screenplay where shaw single handily exterminates alien after alien?

Quote from: HuDaFuK on Sep 24, 2015, 09:55:10 AMStill better than the film we got. It makes sense, for one.And none of us have ever claimed Spaihts' script didn't need more work. But when they gave it to Lindelof he made it worse, not better.
