Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Thatguy2068 - Today at 12:52:59 AMQuote from: Immortan Jonesy on Today at 12:50:12 AMIt just makes no sense, Who was the Space jockey? Why did it get face hugged if it was made by xenomoprh?Quote from: Thatguy2068 on Today at 12:47:42 AMQuote from: Immortan Jonesy on Today at 12:40:03 AMWho Idea was this?Quote from: Thatguy2068 on Today at 12:33:38 AM3. The Derelict being made by Xenomorph with human DNA to go through space... There is so much wrong with this. Where the hell did they get the human DNA? Did they get it from the engineers since they were like 99% to Humans Or was this actual human DNA? This is gonna be the stupidest decision to be made right next to David being the creator of aliens.
YeahI am curious about the implications behind!Space Jockey may be an oddity ala Deacon born from the Engineers...who are ancient humanity anyway

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Nightmare Asylum - Today at 12:52:20 AMQuote from: Immortan Jonesy on Today at 12:46:13 AMRidley must not have been to keen of the idea. I remember hearing in the past that he persuaded Neil not to touch the Engineers because of Covenant.
Doesn't seem that that was the cause of anything, regarding the movie not happening, though. We know that Ridley asked Blomkamp to change one element about the script/treatment/idea that would have bumped into what he was doing with the prequels (not sure what, maybe Mike does?), which I guess could have been related to these details about the Derelict, but no way to know for sure just yet.
The project still seemed to be moving forward even after Ridley implemented his one mandate, though, and it was Fox that eventually snuffed out the project, so if the grown Derelict was still part of what the film was at the time of its cancelation, then I guess it likely wouldn't have been the element that would have conflicted with what Ridley was doing (which is interesting to think about, given that "Destiny" almost certainly would have had David in the chair, though perhaps the "Destiny" treatment/draft dates after Blomkamp's film was totally dead and buried and thus, the two ideas wouldn't have bumped into one another at the time Blomkamp originally put them on paper?).
The Blomkamp timeline is made very clear in Mike's video, but I'm a bit hazy on how the timeline of "Destiny" overlaps/runs parallel to it.

Last post by Thatguy2068 - Today at 12:51:21 AMI'm not against the idea of xenomorph Making Structures because alien labyrinth proof the idea can work, it's just not like this.

Last post by Nightmare Asylum - Today at 12:43:49 AMQuote from: Some Old Dude on Today at 12:27:52 AMI just don't think the story warrants the inclusion of Ripley, Newt and Hicks at all.
Interestingly, we know the idea originally didn't feature any of them. That only changed after Blomkamp met Sigourney and talked it over with her, on the set of Chappie.

If I had to guess...
...more or less.
I'm a bit confused if the idea is that the ORIGINAL Derelict was made with human DNA, or just biological matter in general. I'm guessing a new one was being made at the WY installation with human DNA over the course of the film, since human DNA is what the Aliens would have access to there in the moment.

Last post by Darwinsgirl - Today at 12:43:46 AMQuote from: Prez on Yesterday at 10:25:24 PMSold out cinema for me here in Adelaide. A great mix of seniors, middle-aged (me) and lots of millennials. First time in a long time the audience applauded during the credits at the end of the film.
That is truly awesome! Applause at the end.
WOW! I can't think of the last time that's happened.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Thatguy2068 - Today at 12:33:38 AMOk... That was just a lot to take in.
1. I'm just gonna say I really don't like the mutated Xenomorph That much. I don't get why they need like change the design of the xenomorph with body horror Even A. Giger Designswas perfect in the first place and B. It's just less unsettling when it's done with aliens rather than humans.
2. This movie is very Kenner like. Yes, there's parts of Kenner that we enjoy, but we don't want them to be actually in the canon. If you want a grounded movie, get rid of those Xeno Technology made by Weyland Corporation or whatever
3. The Derelict being made by Xenomorph with human DNA to go through space... There is so much wrong with this. Where the hell did they get the human DNA? Did they get it from the engineers since they were like 99% to Humans Or was this actual human DNA? This is gonna be the stupidest decision to be made right next to David being the creator of aliens.
