Ollie 1,059 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Eh, I guess I'm one of the few who's not excited for this. The Alien franchise has been ruined and I don't know if a prequel is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Haven't you heard? It's something new! A totally new franchise with little traces of Alien DNA. That's why we are all so excited!Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yeah sure.I'll believe it when I see it, once the studio decides it needs more aliens. I believe caution should be applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Well Alien would be the one to match, if it's like Blade Runner then I definitely skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Lindelof is a good writer in short distances. What makes me have good hopes for this, if what I've read here and there is true, is that Ridley seems to be aiming for something different to Alien (suspense, horror, cold story) and Blade Runner (noir, cyberpunk-like, very human). This one would be halfway bewteen the suspense of Alien and the sense of awe of something like 2001 (which is my favourite side of sci-fi, so maybe this is just wishful thinking).

A24 4,331 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Producers? Ridley Scott is doing a new sci-fi. The producers can't believe their luck.Of course it won't match Blade Runner or Alien, these are different times and Scott is no longer the director he used to be, but still, I'm more excited over this than American Gangster or Robin Hood. I want to know what idea of the script Ridley went so nuts about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 No. It's Scott's usual team from his previous films. Unlike with Alien or Blade Runner, no talents or artists from outside the business have been brought in. I guess his people are all perfectly capable of delivering anything what Scott wants.

I'm not a fan of his 80s stuff. True Romance is very good, and I adore Man On Fire. I just really get into it, one of the better revenge flicks I've seen. The others aren't particularly special but they're good fun. John Travolta's over-the-top performance in Pelham is hilariously awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Tony feels more MTV-ish than his brother but also a lot more ordinary or vulgar (simplistic macho themes and characters that relate to the simplistic film viewer). IMO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 for those worried about 3D in this film, look back at Alien, or even Blade Runner, both films had a depth to their sequences that would have lended to a 3D process. It wouldn't be the things jumping out at you, but the immersion of the events on the screen themselves. Think the alien ship, or the neon city.

A24 4,331 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 We make those scenes 3D with our mind, and you know, photographers put a lot of effort and visual talent into giving their images depth.

Why not have the next Jane Austen film in 3D, so we can be immersed in the gorgeous English landscapes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 That's a good point. I think the pushed-up cleavage the ladies got in those 19th century corsets would be greatly exaggerated in 3D, which might draw the male crowd to those Jane Austen movies along with their lady friends who go for the weepy stories and love trysts......and we're just back to porn in 3D.
