RidgeTopFeb 24, 2015, 04:25:27 PM Topic on: Feb 24, 2015, 04:25:27 PM Quote I personally think Weta would be a good choice, considering Neil has worked with them on all three of his Sci-Fi films. Weta has done some really impressive stuff and they handle both practical and digital effects. I've always admired the heart and work of the ADI guys, but I know many fans here didn't really like their effects for the Xenomorphs.

Some dodgy design directions aside (which may well have been dictated to them) I thought their practical effects were technically great.That said... I'd love to see Weta take a crack at it. Their stuff for Blomkamp's films thus far has been top-notch, and visually magnificent.

Keep that damn dirty ape away from my damn dirty alien. I'd rather see dudes in rubber suits.

I want to see that Alien do some unearthly things. That said, I also wouldn't mind ADI. Seems like Neill isn't just going to recycle whatever is on hand so I'd like to see ADI go back to a pre-Resurrection Alien.

That's a shame, I loved his studio's work on The Cave and the Underworld films.
