It sounds very “we want to make this franchise a third pillar to Marvel and Star Wars”. Weird choice. If you’re gonna excise the David stuff, just give an up-and-coming indie horror director 20 million and tell them to make a scary movie. Keep it simple. Distress signal. Tight quarters. An Alien. This poo poo isn’t difficult.

This is wonderful news and I hope it's true, the franchise thrived with new people and new ideas. The plot that's described does sound silly but not any more than that of Prometheus & Covenant were you to sum them up in such a manner, so I'll remain optimistic now that the IP is once again free.

I have also received confirmation from comedy podcast PeePee-Dooder that Disney absolutely will be rebooting ALIEN as "more stupider", and "for dumbies", aiming to recapture the success of extremely controversial STAR WARS film "EPISODE 8: THE LAST JEDI". Click here for a numbered slideshow with more information.

teagone posted:Bring back Blomkamp's follow up to Aliens. Thankfully Disney has a "No Ripley" rule apparently so he couldn't do his dream sequel to Aliens but I would like to see Blomkamp make an Alien movie of some kind, just one that's completely independent of all other entries in the franchise. Were he not so busy (I'm assuming Dune will be getting sequels?) I would love to see Denis Villeneuve craft his own take on the IP as well. Will never happen but imagine if Disney gave David Lynch a fortune to make an Alien movie, it would be incredible

No, it sounds like some terrible poo poo written by an 8 year old after a round of playing with his Alien toys. So much for the perfect organism unclouded by conscience or delusions of morality I'm all for taking the franchise in new directions, but that is a complete contradiction to everything Ash said about about the Alien in one of the best and most memorable scenes in the franchise's first and best film

teagone posted:Bring back Blomkamp's follow up to Aliens. I’ll never understand how Blomhack stans still exist after Elysium, Chappie, and Demonic. Thankfully that last one destroyed what was left of his career, so we can all rest easy knowing a cynical Terminator: Dark Fate type retread/retcon is not in store for the Alien series. But Disney might find another hack like Snyder to do it with those Disney dollars, so who knows. Maybe Disney will let Scott finish the David storyline after The Last Duel and House Of Gucci get nominated/win oscars early next year?

MLSM posted:I’ll never understand how Blomhack stans still exist after Elysium, Chappie, and Demonic. I haven't watched Demonic yet. I didn't like Elysium much, but I enjoyed Chappie. My enjoyment of any film is largely based on how pretty I think the visuals are—the prettier the movie the more I'm likely to at least partly enjoy it, even if the story and characters are weak/dumb/whatever. Blomkamp might be a one-trick pony, but his movies have a very distinct sci-fi aesthetic that runs right in line with my personal taste. [edit] Blomkamp also did make a bunch of cool short films through Oats Studios. And he did that Anthem short film that I'm sure gained him some fans. teagone fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Sep 20, 2021 |

Yeah, Disney would be lucky to have someone like Snyder on any project imo, but there's no way Snyder would ever kowtow to Disney execs because lol.

It was great. I think blomkamp owns and I’d love to see him do an original alien movie. If he wants Ripley back he should just use the clone one and do some poo poo writing where her age and old memories make her more like her old self. Idk. I just don’t like movies that’s sole purpose is to undo a “bad” one. (Even if they are legit bad. I just prefer them to keep going) however I’ll say I have exceptions like Halloween. But I’ll cop to not being that big of a halloween fan and way bigger fan of McBride and Green so I was into it from the start.

I love that she's looking at the Rotten Tomatoes score in horror. Rotten Tomatoes is dumb and my interest only grows deeper e: Also wtf there are more critic reviews than audience ratings. It seems like basically no one has seen this movie.

Rottentomatoes says that Elysium is better than Alien3 , Alien Resurrection, and Alien: Covenant. It also says that District 9 is better than both Prometheus and Covenant. Of course, Rottentomatoes also says that Alien 4 is better than Alien 3. This is an algorithm website where 33% of their critics rated Predator 4: The Predator as 'good'.

District 9 is "universally loved" because it was widely misinterpreted as being a politically moderate historical drama. His score on the evil website went down as his films became more explicitly leftist, and consequently 'divisive'.
