Quote from: Mike's Monsters on Today at 08:51:59 AMI'd heard "Awakening" for Blomkamp's, but I did not have enough confirmation to put that one in the video. Did Ridley call it something like that once?
I had guessed that Blomkamp's movie was set to be titled either 'Alien: Awakening' or 'Alien: Awakened' years ago, because when the movie was still set to be made, Blomkamp made a comment along the lines of "I won't divulge the movie's title just yet, as it's a bit of a spoiler in terms of the movie's plot". That immediately made me think that it would relate to Blomkamp retconning Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection as being nightmares that Ripley had during her stay in Hypersleep during their return to Earth after Aliens.
Needless to say, I remain very glad that Blomkamp's movie never got made. It always looked and sounded awful and this latest news only cements that for me. I never understood why so many people had faith in Niell "One Hit Wonder" Blomkamp to make something superior to Ridley Scott's prequels. I mean, did they actually see the concept art? 'Member Berries and retcons designed to appease the "Muh Noot 'n' Hix!1!" crowd looked good to them, did they? Are they insane?!
