Blomkamp's Alien Movie

It never happened and never will, but it looks like it could have been decent.

Interesting artwork.

Now there's a "high possibility" he makes it.

Like only if he's on drugs?

What is the supposed appeal of this guy? District 9 was good. Not a great flick, but good enough. Kind of a transparent analogy going from racism in South Africa to bigotry against aliens, but okay. Did the critics just turn into a jerk-fest over the guy when he did the socialist/occupy wall street crapfest of Elysium?

"High possibility" just turned into "Confirmed".

Don't get happy yet, the vision can still get killed by the money people.

"Neil, we love your vision! Don't change a thing. Except what if one of the aliens could actually talk and chose a female gender for itself and suddenly liked wearing pink bows and ribbons? This would go a long way to getting girls in the seats. Also PG-13. KTHX!"

Also PG-13.

That does kind of worry me. Although I saw this and was a bit surprised what a PG rating could let you get away with in '81.

It will be a direct sequel to Aliens.

He's going to ignore Alien 3 and Resurrection ever happened.

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.

I dare anyone to confirm the plurality implied by "fans."

A new Newt is one thing but how are they going to explain a 25-years-older Hicks?

Let me guess: acid burns fucked up his face.

Opening line...

Ripley: Wow, I had the two shittiest dreams.

Would be amusing.

Well according to this he is NOT erasing 3 and 4.

4 would be easy to erase, since it was just a clone and technically there could be lots of clones out there. Also in the extended edition, Weland-Yutani was bought out by Walmart which is just funny.

But 3......... I think a lot of people wanted Newt and Hicks back.

Eh, I could leave Newt. All she had to do was hang onto the goddamn ladder and they would've been off that rock. But fuck 3. Fuck 3 in its dog/alien ass.

"Ignoring them" is a better description.

Fuck Alien 3 and Resurrection. Terrible, terrible movies.

Michael Biehn rumored to be joining the cast.

On hold in favor of Alien: Paradise Lost (Prometheus 2).

Good plan since Weaver and Biehn get younger every day.

Bah, neither looks a day over 70.
