"no"
Why does that sound Strayan in my head?
Because unless you're from the antipodes, aussie and kiwi accents sound essentially the same, and we both have the ability to type in our accents.

I just glossed over their site, but it seems to have more Blade Runner content than anything else.
Blade Runner & Alien are one and the same, you got that?!

Quote from: TC on Nov 01, 2019, 03:43:06 AMI think the thinking with fan projects like this (and there are many, so this isn't strictly aimed at the PO guys) is that the idea would be so good that everyone will just realise how perfect it is just the way it is, and nobody will ever have any input or creative differences or budget concerns ever.
Clearly not. But he must have had some plan to extract finance and support from Fox while telling them to back off and wait for him to return with the movie all completed. What was this plan?
That's the part that's missing

There have been a lot of fan scripts over the years that got a lot of interest. I remember an Alien5 one written years ago that had great concept art and fan response, but -- predictably -- didn't go anywhere.
The reason why you don't hear about fans getting whisked away to make the next film is ... it doesn't happen. "Passionate fan" is not a job qualification

- Nov 01, 2019, 03:43:06 AMThere seems to be something missing from that interview / article.
He blames the Fox studio system for the state of the Alien franchise, saying that the entire fandom distrusts them, and yet he plans on going to a meeting with Steve Tzirlin at Fox and pitching his script.
What was he hoping for - that Fox would hand him a deal memo to sign and a big wad of cash, at which point he would laugh in their faces and make his accusations that they, in their ineptitude, was destroying the Alien franchise and he would never allow their studio system to corrupt the purity of his script, and then storm out of the meeting having delivered his devastating gotcha moment?

I heard that.
Cos if the latter I'll add the caveat of "not a job qualification for a screen writer".
