what is the likelihood that this movie won't suck?

Alien is one of my all time favorite movies and I really wish they would capture the feel of that movie and make something new where there's a spooky alien on a giant spaceship killing people one by one. please discuss

i bet this will be pretty good in any universe where Alien doesnt already exist

also little kids who have never seen or heard of alien because they are homeschooled or Mormons or something will probably like it a lot.

Ridley Scott is even better than everyone who likes him says he is, and much much better than everyone who doesnt like him thinks he is.

I watched Kingdom of Heaven director's cut on a nine hour flight. Still a good movie on a 4" screen with audio buzz due to a poor 3.5 jack.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

At the same time, there was also a quote somewhere recently that was saying it's "the goriest movie in the franchise".

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, to be fair. That said, and it has been a while since I saw Alien, I feel like a lot of what made it scary was they used gore sparingly.

I'd be up for watching Danny McBride get ripped in half, of course.

Alien wasn't frequently gorey but it was extremely gorey when the gore did come out

Did you see the trailer? it looks almost exactly like prometheus to me. i was (and am) really hoping it would be more like Alien 1, though

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

The Freudian shower scene and the amount of body horror already in the trailer make me think it might end up being good.

I don't think the trailer looks anything like Prometheus, specifically because Scott has said that he heard people's opinions about it and said "ok gently caress it I'll give them what they want!"

It'll probably be closest to Aliens if I had to guess.

I'm convinced he actually did not work on Alien or Bladerunner. It was just some schmuck named Scott Ridley and they accidentally mixed up his name.

I love how the crew of the Betty is just the cast of Firefly but with different actors.

And not-Nathan Fillion died first.
