As if the franchise hadn't already been dragged through the mud already, they're gonna give it another go!

I bailed after the second one. The first one was brilliant and I think Dan O'Bannon was probably missed after that.
O'Bannon's early project with John Carpenter (Dark Star) was a lot of fun.

If there weren't so many plot holes and inconsistencies in the story it might actually be breddy gud. Disclaimer: this post and the subject matter and contents thereof - text, media, or otherwise - do not necessarily reflect the views of the 8kun administration.

>>3392pretty looking but let down by an incompetant plot that felt like it only had a couple of drafts and was made by a writer who can't help but try foreshadow some sequel due to being a shitty television writer
in effect, its a made for televesion movie with an expensive set and prop design

Clearly you were getting tired while binge-viewing them back to back. 1 and 2 are the best, 4th was great, and 3rd is forever in last place.

Ridley Scott says Alien 5 is not happening. does anyone even care

>I don’t think it will ever see the light of day. There was never a script. Just an idea that evolved from a dozen or so pages. I had to participate as producer, but it didn’t go farther because Fox decided it didn’t want to do it. As far I was concerned, I had already done Prometheus and I was working on Covenant.

4 was certainly one of the better ones, I'd rate it higher than 3 and Prometheus at least. Maybe I'm just a sucker for everything Jeunet makes.

Really? I haven't ever watched it simply because I never really saw anything stellar about it. What do you like about the film, excluding what you have already stated?

>Den of Geek: Where would you like to see the next Alien film head? Perhaps back to the more high-budget universe that you---'''
>Dan O’Bannon: I’d like to see it stop. A horror movie’s a fragile thing, and once you’ve gotten past the original, it isn’t scary anymore. So you do a bunch of sequels to a horror movie, all they do is drain any remaining impact out of the original. All of the sequels to for instance Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers, same thing; they over-expose the ideas, and when you look at the original, it’s not as effective as it would have been if you had just left it alone.
>But money makes the world go round and Hill and Giler saw that as the best way to make more money without having to do any work. So as producers with an in at Fox, they just continue to shove those things through.
>Den of Geek: So as far as you’re concerned the Alien franchise is pretty much played out now?
>Dan O’Bannon: It was played out after the first one, as far as I’m concerned. Cameron, in the first one, did about the only thing you could do, which was that he changed to a different genre, from a horror movie to an action film. But once he had done that, there really was nothing left to do. And they just keep squeezing the thing till it’s an empty bag. But as long as it keeps bringing in money to them, they’ll keep doing it.

If you can get past the slightly campy premise of cloning Ripley, it has this French comics sensibility to it. Really cool set design and compositions,and i kinda liked the hybrid baby alien.
