Logan 20,739 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Neill Blomkamp's upcoming Alien movie will carry on Ellen Ripley's story from James Cameron's Aliens, and ignore the sequels that came later. In an interview with Sky News (during a promotional tour for Blomkamp's upcoming sci-fi flick Chappie), Blomkamp and Sigourney Weaver revealed that they intend to give Ripley a "proper finish" - one the pair don't think was achieved in Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection. "I want this film to feel like it's literally the genetic sibling of Aliens," said Blomkamp. "So it's Alien, Aliens, and then this movie". "I would love to take Ripley out of orbiting around in space, and give a proper finish to her story", said Weaver. Considering the twists and turns that came later, it's easy to forget that Alien was originally pitched as "Jaws in space"; a sinister tone Blomkamp wants to recapture. "It's a Freudian nightmare. That element to me is what is so appealing," said Blomkamp. "To try to put the audience on the edge of their seat, in a traditional 'monster stalking you in a dark corridor way". It's a bit of a blow to fans of the sequels, but it's hard to argue against taking Alien back to its horror roots. After all, there's a reason why the sound of that motion tracker still sends chills up our spines so many years later. Neill Blomkamp's new Alien is yet to have a release date attached. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/02/26/blomkamps-alien-movie-will-ignore-alien-3-and-resurrection Thoughts? Personally I'm extremely excited. After the second movie the magic of the series washed away, it's nice to see that not only that they are rebooting it, but they are giving it a proper ending as well. And they still intend of releasing a sequel to Prometheus as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorothy Gale 7,575 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I actually liked Alien 3. He could go with the fan theory that Alien 3/Alien: Resurrection were dreams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan 20,739 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Good, that last two was never taken as canon for me, personally. The whole all men's clan thing <.< The only good thing about that movie is that we got to see a different variation of the alien when it burst from the dog.

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Good. Resurrection was trash Kinda off topic: Am I the only one who thinks that Prometheus had a connection with the Alien saga? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan 20,739 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Good. Resurrection was trash Kinda off topic: Am I the only one who thinks that Prometheus had a connection with the Alien saga? It does, it's the prequel. Prometheus 2 is expected to tie together with the first movie. In Prometheus we see how the Aliens were created through that weird mutating liquid.

Logan 20,739 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 So pumped I love Sigourney and the Ripley character. I can't believe that she's actually on board with it, it's been so long since the first movie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
