Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by XENOMORPHOSIS - Yesterday at 11:53:03 PMIn ways these ideas are absurd but in another perspective intriguing, could've been atrocious, could've been solid it's a question how it's executed. We've had our share of mediocre Alien movies that other fans have found value in and the franchise has kept going. Was half and half about the retcon decision, partly due to it being hard to make a satisfying continuation to Alien3 and Resurrection after how those films are regarded, the continuity was already thrown into split timelines with Williams Gibson's treatment being adapted into a comic and audio drama. Some fans lament this movie didn't happen whereas others are relieved. Theres a guarantee there will be other later Alien Legacy Sequels Reboots in the future, some films will be mediocre others will be competent. Like this Xenomorph itself it's endures.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Nightmare Asylum - Yesterday at 11:51:57 PMAlso, not shocked to hear it wasn't Ridley that binned this. I know Blomkamp had his snarky remark about how maybe Ridley saw Chappie and decided he wanted nothing to do with it anymore, but it always seemed to me that Fox was the one that snuffed this out, which Mike's confirmed now.
I can see this playing nicely overall with the prequels, honestly, pending whatever "Alien: Destiny" was planning to do I guess.
Do away with the Kenner nonsense, scale the idea back to remove Ripley & Hicks, but keep some of the other ideas (the grown Derelicts/Juggernauts, O'Bannon-esque intelligent/evolved Aliens, even the inverted Chestburster/Facehugger process which could be neat) and... I could see this being mined for parts to make something maybe not great but, definitely interesting.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by [cancerblack] - Yesterday at 11:46:15 PMI'd almost bet that the Ripley queen suit and the four armed bigchap tie into some nonsense about the queen itself being a mecha suit for Aliens.

Last post by skhellter - Yesterday at 11:41:36 PMi could roll with the queen alien exo suit if the final aesthetic would look very different from the revealed concept art. That one just looks like the Atax toy.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Nightmare Asylum - Yesterday at 11:39:14 PMHuh. Honestly, while I don't know how much I like the sound of the specifics of the details regarding the Aliens/Derelict here, exactly, I also have to begrudgingly say, regarding this new info Mike shared here, I don't actually hate this! It flirts with and presents ideas much more interesting than what I was expecting from Blomkamp, and like was mentioned in some of the posts above, it feels very O'Bannon (and even very Ridley, circa 1979). I think, pending the execution, I coulda rolled with this...
Still do not like the Queen Alien exo-suit shenanigans at all, though!
