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 it? Yeah, sure and the Star Wars sequel trilogy is aces too... what a joke.
