They're going to ignore 3 & 4. I don't see how else it can be done and I say go for it. Alien 3, mainly the alternate bluray version is a damn good movie, but let's face it, Alien 3 was never what it should have been. It was rushed through for the money and no one had a good story to tell. They ran out of time and money and got lucky with a story Vincent Ward came up with along with the talents of David Fincher and an excellent cast, somehow managed to not make Alien 3 a total failure. As for any idea of carrying on with the Alien Resurrection story, you can toss that in the garbage pile. No cloning and nothing from that crap movie. I respect Alien 3 even with it's flaws because it stands on it's own as a good story and a very hauntingly beautiful movie, but Resurrection is the biggest turd in the entire series. I'm not sure why Weaver ever said yes to that pile of dung. Must've been the paycheck. Anyway, Alien 3 will still be a good movie even if this film does basically toss it out and rewrite the ending. So I say again, GO FOR IT!!! The concept art looks awesome!
