Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Alien’ Film: A Sequel to ‘Aliens’

[Steelgrave]

Neill Blomkamp's new Alien film will take place immediately after Aliens, ignoring the steaming piles of manure subsequent movies which never did the first two films justice. Says Blomkamp,

"I want this film to feel like it's literally the genetic sibling of 'Aliens.' So it's 'Alien,' 'Aliens,' and then this movie."

My inner fanboy is doing cartwheels

I kind of liked Alien: Resurrection. It was a far cry better than Alien 3, the Ishtar of the entire series.

Still, it's good to know they're doing this. It will be interesting to see how the main characters' geriatric nature will be included in the story.

Resurrection wasn't terrible, but by then the franchise had gone so far off the tracks it didn't really matter. The big bomb in the series was, of course, the third movie, which killed off Hicks, Newt and Bishop offscreen and left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Fixing that injustice makes a do-over worth trying, IMHO. Not to mention, Alien is a horror movie set in a sci-fi universe. They got away from that after the first two films.

I did like Ron Perlman in his role, but hell....I like everything Ron Perlman does.

+1!

Though I should rephrase...I enjoyed Alien: Resurrection right up until the end when the alien/human hybrid thing appeared and Ripley did her little sex dance among the tentacles.

Right, right....that scene was more like an Aquaman porno than Aliens. Creepy.....

Ron Perlman would have been the least scary, most sane guy my mom ever dated....there is a reason I'm the way I am

I actually liked the Alien vs Predator movies. Set in the present day, this would make them the prequel to the entire series. Sort of.

Don't be sad, Slash.  Just bring him some argyle as you drive through his front window.  He'll love you forever!
