Alien, Predator, AvP (news)

I have to ask: why "Romulus"?

As of now, it is the working title. Could become actual title. Also.... Maybe we'll know after watching it?

 

[Mage]

I'm really glad that the Alien franchise didn't morph into a "Colonial Marines" franchise after the second film. That may be an unpopular opinion...but i'm one of the few who likes the way the franchise has turned out.

Seconded!

It would have been nice to have a team of naturalists aghast at Ridley wanting to kill xenomorphs. Not company types mind you.

One CBR page had a huge computer crisis come about—explaining why so many off worlders keep getting surprised by them.

Nobody would be that dumb or suicidal.

Yeah there would be. If you live long enough, you'll realize there's no end to the profound virulence of stupid. It can't ever be cured.

Yeah, I could see some people trying to find a way to deal with Xenomorphs that didn't involve killing them. Hell as an animal right supporter and vegan, I'd probably be one of them, but at a certain point anybody is going to realize that there any encounter with them is kill or killed, and that peaceful coexistence with them is literally impossible.

Well, all the other takes have been done. We got the haunted house, the action movie—but we never got a documentary.

If we can forget the plight of the humans—what does a successful hive look like? Do drones interact with new chestbursters?

Not sure if I would extend "animal rights" to engineered bio-mechanical weapons. It's not like one can rehabilitate a nuclear warhead, or provide the ebola virus with a safe, humane habitat, and these things are both in one.
Anyone that comes across a xenomorph egg should treat it the same way one would treat an unexploded bomb, or abandoned landmine because that's basically what it is. Anyone that comes across a nest should take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

We never really saw what would have been the result had the company acquired the xenomorph…maybe a cure for cancer…or maybe a hidden genetic change that might show its hand later….the closest we got to that was Resurrection…but that was Ridley centric.

The typical life cycle of the Xenomorph is confining storywise.

Something different needs to be done. A person who a facehugger rejects might be THE THING say. Or someone medically saved after a ‘burster erupts.

Maybe a return to the initial concept where victims become the egg…or at least their hands. Something new…unexpected.

A found footage Alien movie could be amazing.

 

[137th Gebirg]

A Blair Witch/Alien-type crossover? Might be interesting.

Would really love to finally see some eggmorphing in a new alien movie or show again. Way more creepy and disturbing than the Queen, which i don't need to see anymore.

Or someone medically saved after a ‘burster erupts.

kind of happened in Prometheus, in the original script, it was exactly that, Shaw was in the pod when it actually burst out, and the med pod saved her life.

In Requiem, had the queen laying eggs directly in to people, mutipulle eggs to jump start a colony, who says that didn't happen on LV 426, queen may have went into egg laying mode after setting up her hive, but before she was mobile and actively doing the face hugging herself.

Covenent had the "Spores" flying about on the planet. Which is honestly the best way, and the planet is Fubared unless you fire bomb the planet.

Think what happened in Hadley's Hope could have been the Xeno hatching from Russ Jordan morphing someone in a queen facebugger bearing egg or the Xenomorphs in Aliens being another subspecies than the drone in the first movie.

Could explain the slightly different look of them.

So the new Alien movie is actually getting a theatrical release! Kinda stoked about that!

 

[Markonian]

Good news!
Let's revive the Alien franchise, get Prey of Tsushima out of the door, and we can get back to proper AvP franchising.

 

[thribs]

That means an actual blu ray release. Cool!

 

[the G-man]

Prey is Emmy nominated for best "TV movie."

 

[Markonian]

I hope it does well. We need that Samurai sequel.

 

[Markonian]

That sounds like

I remember it happening in the middle of a '90s fanfiction. It involved an extremely resilient male Marine. I couldn't remember the title, but....

That marine sounds like Corporal Hicks from Aliens.

That's great. So are all streaming movie considered "TV movies"? If so, it might be time to give them their own category.

 

[wayoung]

Unless they have a theatrical run to qualify for film awards, yeah.

Same thing happened 25 years ago with HBO. TV movie & miniseries was one category. HBO made full one season shows (specifically From The Earth to the Moon) and won and everyone was pissed because two hour made for tv movies, 4.5 hour made for tv minis were competing against 10 hour tv series
