I like Prometheus despite it's script, so, no.

I'd fall into that category as well. More specifically, it was a good 2 hour thriller script that had "deep meaningz and thought provokes" awkwardly forced into it by Lindelof. Not terrible by any means though.

QuoteEver since I heard Neill Blomkamp is gonna make new Alien movie I felt all the juices flowing ;] I had this idea rattling in my head that I just had to draw - what if military actually succeed in controlling Aliens... or so they thought.
"Aliens" is one of the best movie ever in my book and I would totally love to work on new one so if you have direct contact with Neill please let him know about me ;]

On technical side I mostly used workflow from my "Illustration Unchained" series, plus some new experimental stuff that probably will end up in "UI:2". Rough 3d base model was made for APC, characters posed in DAZ, aliens are based on photoshoot I did to my lovely alien figure.

One could also say that it was a great 2 hour script full of meaningful questions and explorations with the thriller aspects forced onto it.  The script idiosyncrasies were forgivable and it was another Ridley Scott masterpiece.

Neil Blomkamp's Alien III, then  ::)

He changed his mind as to where the film would take place, as a fan? I take that to mean that he is going to try and fit this thing in without retconing anything or threading on toes... good luck with that. If he pulls it of that would be spectacular.

Son Of Kane

Hardly. Unless he dumps returning characters it'll be a shitshow.

Or... it could be a Retcon.

Yeah, one could say that, but they'd be forgetting that the movie started out as a pure-thriller before Lindelof got a hold of it.

Now that is a terrible concept. Nicely done, awful idea.

Frankly anything with military characters saying 'Don't worry Ma'am..' would be bad enough, without the even more execrable concept of tech augmented aliens. Besides that's the plot of Jurassic Park 4 isn't it?

Neil Blomkamp's FAILIEN... Or more accurately - FAILIENS.

Blomkamp's Alien will not be called Alien 5.

Awesome!!!  Great to see Blomkamp is on the right track.  Works with Prometheus.  Works with Alien and Aliens.  What more could one ask for?  I am so stoked about this.  2 Alien films in the works simultaneously!  Is this even real?  I sometimes have to pinch myself.  I hope we see a special cut of Prometheus released before Prometheus 2 comes out...

Don't pinch too hard because the end result is gonna bite us all really hard in the ass.

I actually like this artwork and idea. It's visually interesting, and it's really apparent how it could go horribly wrong in a bunch of different ways so it's not like it's really "demeaning" the Aliens or making them "ineffectual".

Son Of Kane

It could be neat if they were feigning control like that Alien 3 script.

The best way to not let nostalgia and fanboy...fan-ism..is that a word? Eh, well at any rate, the best way to not get bias in the way of the movie is to just pretend like Blomkamp is doing some generic sci-fi thriller that you haven't heard about that has 2 older actors in it reprising roles they had. That way, some objectivity could be had.
