Not so keen on the amount of Narcissus and Nostromo I'm seeing, but they could surprise me.

The Alien series has always looked for upcoming talented directors, Ridley, Cameron, Fincher, perhaps this is a new way of finding fresh blood.

Regardless, I hope we will get some good short films out of it. The Alien prequels have a better track record with their virals than the mainline entries so it's not like it would entirely be unheard of.

Please tell me Alien Knock Knock is about Keanu being seduced by two scantily clad xenos. :laugh:

Only two possibilities leap to mind.


1. Knock Knock

Who's There?

Golic runs at the door and kicks it in

"CIGARETTES!!!"



2. Knock Knock

Who's There

Keanu

Keanu Who?

If you Keanu who I was, you wouldn't open the door.  ;)

Damn, you're too quick. I changed the first joke. The idea of Golic kicking some poor slobs door in was too hard to resist.

Well, being the Doctor and all, I'm sure he's done weirder things.

Word has it he once lived in the ceiling of a restaurant for 3 months. Which explains all the eating. Care for some Golic bread?

I always thought "The Greenhouse Effect" sounded interesting, glad to see it's on there.

Visceral Content eh?

I'm curious now what all of those pitches that included titles like; Nostromo and Narcissus would have entailed, and the Alien love story. ;D

Alien: Harvest, so based on the comic? Probably not though. I wonder if these movies will be considered semi-canon or what.
