I dont know, people had thier doubts about Batman Begins, and it became one of the best batman movies ever. And it also proved that rebooting movies works
Scott does seem to be trying to put distance between Prometheus and the Alien flicks…he’s said it’s not going to be an Alien movie in the way people are imagining it…then all the all actors give winks and say “Yeah, it’s an Alien movie”. I doubt it’s going to end on LV426 with the Nostromo landing or anything.
I’ve mentioned Charlize Theron being the perfect Samus for nearly a decade now, with Zoe Bell as her in-suit stunt double.
lol…alot of people will watch it because it’s aliens and ridley scott will makes tons of money…that’s the reason…
I meant beyond the money grab aspect of it.
i always imagined the alien creature to be some type of BIO-lab forged WMD creature made by the race of that humanoid life forms who’s spaceship crashed on the planet of the first movie.
why?
-cuz the alien monster is ridiculously tough, i mean, acid for blood? c’mon!
-cuz that spaceship only had one fossilized humanoid alien that was visible…which makes the spaceship feel like a transport freighter. (since its a huge ass ship with only one ET person to be driving it)
-cuz the humanoid driver sent out an infinite warning signal…as if to say, he knew that parasitic monster was just gonna find some bs way to survive no matter what…like a roach
-cuz no fucking planet would have a functioning ecosystem with a bad ass, impossible to win without nuking everything type beast… being some “natural” part of a planet’s ecosystem.
but if u introduced logic to the first movie…there would be no movie.
since no one is gonna bring some alien creature on board, regardless if its on someone’s face…for the simple fact that that alien could have “space cooties”…ie, viruses, bacteria, microbial infectious disease.
if that alien sneezed once, everybody on ship would die in less than 24hours. with no hope of salvation. including the cat.
and also 90% of sci-fi horror movies suck and this might not
what exactly can they put in a reboot that we havent seen in the originals. At least in batman they can use different villains.
Trust me. You have a lot of leeway when it comes to interpreting the Alien or even the Predator. Just read those Dark Horse comics. Some of the best ideas were never used in those movies. Admittedly there’s some really bad comics too (more bad Predator comics than Aliens comics though) but a lot of great ideas just the same.
1st: The Android on the Nostromo (Ash) was sent by the company to secure the creature and bring it back. The crew was expendable. If you remember, Ripley did refuse to let them on board when Kane had the facehugger attached. It was Ash that bypassed her order and let them in and subsequently allowed the creature to do it’s thing.
2nd: Eh, maybe. It’s a funny scenario I’ll give you that. But I think it’s pretty obvious that the Alien was working on instincts, it cultivated a nest and kidnapped the crew for food and ‘breeding’ if I am to go off of the deleted cocoon scene from the film.
It can’t really do that if it destroy’s the ship.
I agree I look a lot more favorably on Alien 3 Directors Cut.
This is probably the first thing I’ve been genuinely looking forward to for a while!
Damn. Out of all the dumb posts you’ve made this is quite possibly the dumbest, a bold statement I know but it’s been a while since I’ve seen so many wrong things put together in 2 lines.
W-W-W-W-W-WELL DONE
/Tyga.
I don’t follow. Ridley Scott’s movies are some of my favourites. And I dont want predators to have a starring role, just show them getting made by the Space Jockey’s or something, so we can do away with the canon that Predators made Aliens that seems to be running rampant in the AvP movies. I’m just looking for a nod, I guess I could have worded that better
It was never canon that Predators created the Xenomorphs, even in the movies they hint that they stole technology from the elsewhere aka the Space Jockeys. IIRC, in the comics it was shown that a bulk of Predator tech was merely stolen and improvised from other alien races (or maybe just the Space Jockeys entirely).
It’s going to be exciting to know the origin of this super-advanced alien race.
Leave the Predators out of it, completely. They had there chance with the AVP movies and they blew it. Requiem had it’s moments, the part where the blond chick gets tagged by the Predator boomerang was awesome. But AvP is a novelty act for the movies. The implication that the Aliens were one Earth, the whole time, resting frozen in a pyramid…that just sucked. No way do I want to see Scott try to reconcile that shit, especially the impossible containment issues of the Requiem…
Might as well make an Aliens vs. Predator vs. The Thing, were the survivors of the Thing prequel and AvP meet up and talk about how much Antarctica sucks.
Just about every other movie he makes sucks. It’s the other half that’s good and we all want.
So the question is, will this be a peak or a valley on rottentomatoes?
ps He absolutely ruined what was an original take on Robin Hood. The original writer came up with a brilliant story, but Scott butchered it and turned it into another gritty remake starring Crow.
Not that I’ve been itchin’ for another AvP film but I’ve always said another remake should be based on Alien timeline/setting. A good reason why the last AvP movies blew was b/c you had a bunch of pansy civilians as the protagonists. They messed around with the starcraft formula and had zerg vs. toss vs. archaelogist/town sheriff. Fuck man. I want rugged space marines and strong-minded characters like Ripley holding shit down. Can you imagine a pred trying to hunt someone like Ripley and get shit wrecked cuz she’s experienced, intelligent badass? I think it would be awesome imo.
But about Prometheus…sounds interesting. I too hope they expand more on the spacey jockeys if it is a prequel.
Only if it was a newbie predator like the ones in the first AvP. If she took one of the higher level predators I would be super pissed.
the problem with AvP is they seem intent on having it on earth (budget reasons), and during this time period (and establishing the Alien and Predator mythology). The comics were great because they didnt do that shit. It was just space colonies and space marines getting fucked up by Predators. And you got Pred vs Pred fights, and good characters. They should have JUST made the comic into a fucking movie, and I would have bought it in a heartbeat
lol not really they still used joker and two face. And the xmen reboot added some new mutants also. Though those movies proved rebooting movies works with new stories and ideas, which this movie will do also. Its hard to judge something that is not even out yet.
