Blomkamp is officially making an Alien film

[Ingwar]

I've never read the script so I don't know who was responsible for that comedic (I like its dark humor though) tone. Joss Whedon or JPJ?

Both of them. The script is overly comedic anyway and then you add JPJ's unique style to it.

Then alternative director (Boyle or someone else) would have had problems changing its tone.

Why? You would have had some zippy one liners  and dialogue but the goofy tone that JPJ is known for and that is very present in resurrection would have been avoided.

If I recall correctly, Ewan McGregor would've been Vriess if it was Boyle directing.

Man I hated that character, not sure if I just hated the character or that actors portrayal though.

[Corporal Hicks]

He's someone else I loved in JPJ's other films.

Do you remember where you heard that?

[BishopShouldGo]

Sadly it was so long ago, I can't recall the source.

I think a lot of it was down to the fact he was performing in a second language.

Resurrection would also be greatly helped by not killing off Michael Wincott so early.

I actually like Vriess. Dominique Pinon did a good job.

Wincott's death was a surprise. I like surprises This is Alien movie. No remorse.

Every scene where Vriess talks annoys the hell out of me, even when I watched it at the theater.

Wincott was great in the scenes he had, I would have prefered they killed Christie instead, that guy came off as a cartoon to me.

Annoys in what way? Accent? I'm not bothered about that at all maybe because English is not mother tongue.

[Mr. Clemens]

Wow, Vriess was practically the only character I liked in that movie!

[SM]

I think they changed his line to 'Who were you expecting?  Santa Claus?' because he couldn't get his mouth around 'Who were you expecting?  The Easter Bunny?' and kept saying 'Eastern Bunny'.

Every way, the looks he gave, his lines, they way he delivered his lines and even his reaction to being burned by acid.. Like I said I don't know if it was the actor or just the character or maybe both but I couldn't stand him. I have seen clips of him in other films and had no problem with him at all.

Agreed. I don't know what the Hell was up with Christie honestly. There were some really odd quirks to his character. Like the look he get's in his eyes when he starts gunning down guards in the messhall. Comes off like some kind of a voodoo trance state or something.
