Alien: Bring it to Earth?

[CookieG]

I would love an "Alien: Awakening" sequel film, sure.

But what was always hinted but never really done was to see the creature brought to earth and have it set loose (or break free) and see what happens – like an apocalyptic earth Alien movie. Lets be honest, anyone would pay to see the xenomorph do a mass existinction on humans! You could have all the stealthy kills and michael bay style explosions and military action in a movie like that.

The comics do have a run where the creature was actually on earth - Outbreak I think it was, the queen is brought to earth (or could be raised, bred etc) and then quite soon after experiemtns go wrong (of course) the earth is overrun.

I would pay to see that sort film in a heart-beat. Bring the Alien to earth and let it loose! If they can do those AvP films and getaway with it briefly, why not go the full hog. Alien: Earth or Devastation or Outbreak, whatever... bring it on!

Does anyone else agree or have a similar thought?

Aliens overrun earth and Ripley is still alive.

If Earth will be overrun by Aliens in a television series or a feature film, all I ask is it doesn't take place in present day, but in the future, a world in the grip of the Weyland-Yutani corp and synthetics walking among us.

I was waiting for a thumbs up when she fell into the fire.

The Female War

Earth War.  It just isn't the same without Sam Kieth's art.

No TY, it just isn't what I want from the Alien franchise.
For instance, I'm far more enthralled by Bryan Cranston's character in BrBa- personal stakes.
Than I am in 98% of films that feature large scale battle, or invasion- the exception being LOTR
& Not much else.

[Fleshwound]

They already did it terribly with the AVP movies so I am hesitant to go for it. If they did do the Female War arc then that could be good but I just can't get past how they will likely screw it up, again.

Can any true Alien series not end with an Earth Invasion?  If this alien boat is meant to float it has to eventually lead to the destruction of the Earth. Horror franchise folks, hello?

[The Old One]

There's a point when the scale becomes so large the horror is lost, or pointless.
Because we empathize with individuals or groups- not entire civilizations.

[Corporal Hicks]

But that's why you focus on smaller groups embroiled within that.

I always had an idea for this kind of Alien film, which would have elements of Book One in it

Would love to see such a movie!

Knowing our luck it would piggyback off AVPR.

If it had to come to Earth then I'd prefer it was an isolated area so you still have the tension of peril. If Earth was lost to xenomorphs then it'd be a bit like "eh... oh well. That was that. We lost."

Hollywood as an industry needs a reboot - not the franchises.
