Space stations, moons, planets, terraformed environments or even our beloved LV-426. I want to know what types of environments you want to see in the next film.
A small midwestern town in North Ame-
Haha. Had you going there, didn't I? ;)
If he concepts are anything to go by, i'm honestly rather impressed. I like the idea of a Pristine WY facility being corrupted by aliens. I'd love to see some more developed "every day 'Earth'" type stuff ala what we saw in Gateway. Something that's less run down, but still lived in.
Good question!

Just some images of various location types I'd be interested in seeing, either on their own or, in some way, collapsed together.
Not LV-426.

It's a landscape made out of WANGS. Wangscape!
^ That does bring to mind one thing i'd love to see. One of, or several of, Giger's paintings brought to life and actually have them...
Alive. A biomechanoid landscape literally writhing, and shifting. EEEE...

The Thing replicates an Alien and then spreads around an entire planet.
Fund it.
When I learned that Blomkamp was the one put in charge of it, I began thinking about more social commentary stuff. The kind of things he would do. So I thought about this idea of poor people who live outside this big Weyland building on some moon somewhere. The poor people surround the building like the peasants who live on the outskirts of a big castle. I pictured a couple Xenomorphs some how finding their way there and end up just creating tons of havoc and forcing the Weyland building closing all of it's doors preventing them from entering the building to escape from them.
I'd like any outside location, maybe a planet that has other life on it. It would be refreshing.

btw, the Pristine WY facility is something like the Elysium space station, and a hell unleashed by xenomorphs?

If Alien and Aliens had a son, I am sure that that child would be the Neill Blomkamp´s film. That being said, I think it will be a mixture of claustrophobic horror and great action sequences. The biomechanical environments, claustrophobic corridor of a ship, and at the same time, natural (or artificial) large-scale landscapes could be part of the new background.

Good question, who knows. perhaps the social and dystopian aspect is explored in the next movie.
Going by the concept art, it'll be a cross between the aesthetics of the 'Mass Effect' games and the AVP game from 2010. There certainly seems to be that sort of vegetation being hinted at.
I'd like to see some zero gravity action, in the vein of Dead Space.

I've always wanted to see the aliens home world and why it would need acid blood. I'd imagine it to be very Giger-ish too. However a world that is very alien would be what I'd want to see. Kind of tired of space stations and facilities. I want fantasy.

Given their biology, a xenomorph homeworld would have to be:
1. Almost pitch black to negate the need for eyes or so close to a star than anyone's optic nerves would be fried immediately
2. Little to no oxygen or an atmosphere so toxic that traditional breathing is impossible
3. Absolutely ferocious competition between species, far more than what is seen on Earth, to necessitate the need for a body built for constant combat and a fast growth period
4. Volatile, dangerous environment that would necessitate a tough, heavily adaptable frame
5. Minimal access to constant, large amounts of food, necessitating an ability to go into semi-hibernation at a moment's notice (and to wake up quickly from said hibernation)
6. Organisms as dangerous or more so than xenomorphs to necessitate all of their defense capabilities
Basically, it would have to be hell in every sense of the word.
We're better off never going there...
...And thank Fox that the Strause Bros. didn't get their first crack at it. I hardly think anyone could do it justice, let alone those guys.
It's one of those things that, if they even have a homeworld, we should never know their origins. Their mystique and mystery is what makes them so damn fun.

No offense but those are all terrible 2011 nerdbait landscapes that don't seem at all compatible within Alien.

This concept art is from "Star Wars: The Old Republic". The thought of having a terraformed environment in a frozen world seems great.

Although all are Hollywood sci-fi monster films, Alien films are very different from one another, in tone and style, as they have been made by different filmmakers. So, I disagree.
Those make for great wallpapers though! :P

A vibe I would go after with anything post-Aliens. But I'm assuming they'll distance themselves from the low-tec aspects of everything, and all the work that was inspired by Alien itself in science fiction. Honestly, if I was in charge (and I'm not), I would just devote so much of it to all Alien inspired aesthetically. I'm sure knowing Neil, that will happen, none of his films avoided science grit, but I'm just hoping they keep this downbeat future Alien had going, and not just give up to holographic screens and impossibly large objects when that's so inappropriate to everything Alien has always been about. And I'm not one to usually go so melodramatic, but I just hope they don't fall for the scale of everything and instead focus on how restrictive every environment in the Alien saga has always been.
What's wrong with setting alien 5 on a rock with dicks and vaginas?

Yes, I understand. The dystopian Future with retro technology. (In other words the opposite of what was Prometheus :D). There are other movies with that kind of background, like "Outland" or the British TV series "Space 1999". Even I am thinking of the original Star Wars trilogy.
But from what I can see in the concept art, the new director has other very different plans with a concept that is closer to the paradigm of today (in science fiction). Although I could be wrong, since the director claims to be a big fan of the first two films, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.

I guess there is nothing wrong, but that's more Giger style. Gutalin could do something about it, but I doubt that is part of the staff of the new movie. We will have to wait for Prometheus 2 (assuming that will happen).

Not necessarily as final designs, but as potential starting points that can be de/reconstructed in order to better suit the needs of an Alien film. Blade Runner is similar to Alien in many ways, and could be a great starting point for developing an Earth (or other planet, for that matter) city for this film, should we get to see one. And the Elysium ring reminds me quite a bit of the artificial habitat in the concept art. Something sleek and clean like that, but ultimately broken down and ravaged by the Aliens, could make for a striking visual, so long as the actual design work/tech can be retrofitted to look at home in this universe.

I certainly want to see a city in the upcoming film. Maybe something a little inspired by what we saw in Blade Runner, but elegant and comforting at the same time. Xenomorphine made mention of Mass Effect previously, and I believe that the "Citadel" fits a little with that style. Although I really liked what Neill Blomkamp made in Elysium.

A vibe I would go after with anything post-Aliens. But I'm assuming they'll distance themselves from the low-tec aspects of everything, and all the work that was inspired by Alien itself in science fiction. Honestly, if I was in charge (and I'm not), I would just devote so much of it to all Alien inspired aesthetically. I'm sure knowing Neil, that will happen, none of his films avoided science grit, but I'm just hoping they keep this downbeat future Alien had going, and not just give up to holographic screens and impossibly large objects when that's so inappropriate to everything Alien has always been about. And I'm not one to usually go so melodramatic, but I just hope they don't fall for the scale of everything and instead focus on how restrictive every environment in the Alien saga has always been.
Yes, I understand. The dystopian Future with retro technology. (In other words the opposite of what was Prometheus :D). There are other movies with that kind of background, like "Outland" or the British TV series "Space 1999". Even I am thinking of the original Star Wars trilogy.
But from what I can see in the concept art, the new director has other very different plans with a concept that is closer to the paradigm of today (in science fiction). Although I could be wrong, since the director claims to be a big fan of the first two films, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.
The problem I have with that, is Alien has always been a Post-Modern piece. Or at least, its best has always been Post-Modern. A bit of almost parody of the real world. Its lived in environments are just as parallel to its lived in genre. See, the modernist way of looking at things, would be an It! Terror from Beyond Space!, and all its countless knockoffs. Alien took the concept and analyzed/subtly parodied it, it analyzed/subtly parodied the culture at the time as well. Aliens, you have the same situation; example, Burke is a parody of the nervous cocaine businessman of the 80's stereotype. Everything real good in Alien has postmodern contexts. Even Prometheus is a bit postmodern in how it turned around in modernism.
What your suggesting, is really modernist environments that don't synch well with, Alien. Alien has always been a bit meta, forcing modernist landscapes, while pretty, don't really synch. If you force that, you could end up with an audience feeling like something is off, because it might feel taking itself too seriously, that it doesn't, fit or synch, with what they consider Alien visually, or just subconsciously.
And frankly, the wide almost kubrickesque landscapes that seem epic™ and big™ aren't doing well as of 2015, people are starting to enjoy art in postmodern contexts, as generations begin to fall in a more lived in society, and how entertainment is perceived, than previously. You can't just ignore that within Alien, everything that makes it unique has always been, meta.
I hope someone, anyone knows what I'm talking about. And I don't sound like a giant nut.
You know, in regards to the Gigeresque landscapes that I and some others have posted, one idea that I had is the concept of cultural spaces. Think about it; there are cultural and agricultural zones in human society, so why not in the rest of the universe? Maybe they could have it where there is a chunk of the Milky Way where all of the architecture of different civilizations all has a very Giger-like feeling, with regional differences of course. Not just Engineers but other species as well might have adopted this bio-mechanical style, possibly due to the resources in the sector and possibly due to influence from the xenomorph, maybe in a religious sense. You could have very disparate species that all broadly take from the style seen in Alien and Prometheus and make it their own.

I'd like to see some zero gravity action, in the vein of Dead Space.

This. So much this. I wanted to see Briggs' script for AvP with this in.
I'd really like to see something Giger-esque on a planetary scale. And I do mean biomechanical, not the rocky Giger from Prometheus.
I always imagined a direct sequel to Resurrection to take place on Earth (that is a hellish place took over by Aliens ;) ) and the look to be a mix of art by Zdzislaw Beksinki with the visuals from Black Hawk Down, District 9, Stalker (Trakovsky film) and some flavours from Crysis and Dead Space ;D
Something like that:

But looking at the A5 concept arts it's obvious that Blomkamp is taking a completely different route. He will probably try to copy Cameron's Aliens look.

Given their biology, a xenomorph homeworld would have to be:
1. Almost pitch black to negate the need for eyes or so close to a star than anyone's optic nerves would be fried immediately
2. Little to no oxygen or an atmosphere so toxic that traditional breathing is impossible
3. Absolutely ferocious competition between species, far more than what is seen on Earth, to necessitate the need for a body built for constant combat and a fast growth period
4. Volatile, dangerous environment that would necessitate a tough, heavily adaptable frame
5. Minimal access to constant, large amounts of food, necessitating an ability to go into semi-hibernation at a moment's notice (and to wake up quickly from said hibernation)
6. Organisms as dangerous or more so than xenomorphs to necessitate all of their defense capabilities
Basically, it would have to be hell in every sense of the word.
Like Venus. Imagine there was life on Venus - it'd be totally... well... alien.
If they went down this road, these are exactly the sort of things they'd have to look at, rather than what was cool. Unless of course, they worked out finally that a xeno environment wasn't going to look great visually, then they'd go with cool. But you'd hope that they'd at least try looking at what was "natural" for that kind of creature in the first place.

A Venus-like environment, or something equally twisted, would work perfectly. If we ever do see the xenomorph homeworld, I do
not want to see a planet where any old Earth life form could exist (nor do I want to see an LV-426 clone). Beksinski might be a good model to go on; the environments are suitably harsh and morbid with a Giger-like flair of melding the organic with the inorganic (though he seemed to like melding living tissue more with stone that with mechanics).

Yes! Venus is like hell come true, and if one day we will be lucky enough to find the home of the Xenomorphs, I have just one request in this regard:
Spoiler
Don't call it "Xenomorph Prime" XD

With Alien Isolation they did something similar

I agree. I think it would be perfect for a post Resurrection movie. Beksinski was a genius, just like Giger was.
I wouldn't mind something like these areas from System Shock 2:

Then again, it did lift a lot of its aesthetic from the Alien films. :laugh:
