Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by skhellter - Today at 11:38:34 AMQuote from: Mike's Monsters on Today at 08:51:59 AMThe impression I got was that that DNA was found in the derelict ship we see in ALIEN. Not in building a new one. It hints at somehow humans and Xenos being connected in the past. How? I don't have that information.
Prometheus was out at the time. It's most definitely Engineer DNA which (according to that infamous bit in Prometheus) is a 100% MATCH with HUMAN DNA

Last post by 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯 - Today at 11:27:33 AMI think this may have been concept art for the "space elevator's" base station that was supposed to have been a major feature in Blomkamp's film rather than the W-Y HQ.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Nightmare Asylum - Today at 11:13:50 AMThe first time we heard the name "Awakening" it was attributed to Ridley's third prequel, but later on another interview (I forget with who) cited it as being a name for Blomkamp's film, not Ridley's (and now we know that Ridley's was using the name "Destiny"). But "Awakening" doesn't really gel with the interview Mike sourced for his video in which Blomkamp makes mention that the title, which is being kept hidden for now, is pretty spoilery as to what is going on in the film. "Awakening" seems a little to vague/generic to hold that kind of weight...
This actually does make a bit of sense to me, pre-Covenant, before we saw David make the Alien and when all we knew about ancient history from Prometheus was that human and Engineer DNA matched, and that the Engineers likely had an ancient past with the Aliens (evidenced by the Pathogen). Maybe it was the ideas in circulation at that time that Blomkamp was riffing on?
Mike, do you happen to know if/how "Destiny's" pre-production overlapped with the tail end of Blomkamp's film's, if at all?
And another question, do you happen to know anything about the "Alien: Paradise Lost" iteration of the Prometheus sequel, from before it became Alien: Covenant?

Alien Films / Re: Favourite Alien Movie?
Last post by gold - Today at 11:10:45 AMPeeh, you know exactly what I mean. Aliens and A3 were the last original movies (A3 disappointing a lot of fans). Think of how DIFFERENT Alien, Aliens and Alien3 are in terms of films.
A: Res copied (and satirized) Earth War somewhat and everything since has been "Made in China":
"Here's yet another bunch of people, led by a female brunette, getting eaten"TM
Like badly copied Chinese car designs that try and copy BMW and Mercedes, the brunette actresses on Prometheus, Covenant and Romulus are even cast to LOOK like Sigourney Weaver.
Do something original for once (Blomkamp
) and stop insulting viewer intelligence.
/ok rant over. Sorry, I love this franchise but this needs to be said (and I'm sure has been said by others), like on the RPF forum here:
