I don't think it will. It probably won't be good, but it will still make money because of the name.

And if Blomkamp's film were made and it sucked it would be a dream within a dream so they can ignore everything and make another turd that people will pay to see.

:up:

Fincher's film may not be better than the first two, but to me that's where it all ends. Anything that came after is just silliness.

Yes, this. Fuck Blomkamp's fanfic bullshit. I'm glad it's not happening.

Re: Alien 5 (D: Blomkamp) S: Weaver
 

To each their own I guess, but I find the deaths of Hicks and Newt at the beginning of Alien 3 to be extremely effective and a key to the nihilistic catharsis of Alien 3 that completes the thematic arc of the three films. It obviously offends some people's sensibilities, but I would argue that means it had the intended effect. The seemingly empty deaths of these people with whom Ripley had a real emotional connection, the relentless plague of destruction harvested by the Aliens, and the unwavering, foolish ambition of the company all drive Ripley to her final act of spiteful and hopeless resignation.

Hell, I even like Resurrection. It was like Firefly in the Alien universe.

I'll split it with you (although we know this isn't going to happen) ... Blomkamp never gets to make an Alien film if Ridley Scott never gets to make another one either.

I'm listening to the Now Playing Podcast: Alien Retrospective. I need to go back and listen to the commentaries on the BluRay, but hearing about some of the cockamamie shit Ridley wanted to do ... well, let's say I believe Alien was a success in spite of Ridley Scott, not due to Ridley Scott.
