A24 4,338 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The film needs to end with Ripley wiping a floor of a giant spaceship. The camera rolls back, the deck is getting bigger and bigger, while Ripley is getting smaller and smaller. She has seen it all, she has lived through it all, but she's just a nobody. The End.

Jay 37,368 Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Quote What’s the status of the “Alien” sequel? I hope that Neill Blomkamp and I will eventually get back to it. He’s written such a wonderful script. I look forward to finishing Ripley’s story. http://variety.com/2016/film/features/sigourney-weaver-avatar-alien-1201930389/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,317 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yeah, not hard to read between the lines on what happened to that project. Think ol' Sir Ridders went on an ego-trip after The Martian hit big and sunk Blompkamp's film from gaining any momentum. Cameron said there was a script, hardly just a ten page treatment. Chappie being a miserable failure didn't help Blompkamp's cause either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Beyond being an obvious fan service idea, it wasn't such a good idea in the first place anyway. I mean, let's be honest. Besides they already made that type of "sequel" as a comics long time ago. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol This was a phase in the 80s and 90s where they were running out of ideas for funny books, so they had universes colliding in between characters dying and rising from the grave. They even had DC vs. Marvel. Fat chance of ever seeing that again. Also Star Trek and the X-Men, which everyone obviously always wanted to see.

There were two forces (chestbursters?) inside me in relation to this project. One was slightly curious about where they would take it, and a chance to revisit these characters coming right off of ALIENS. The other was harshly opposed to the whole thing, being a continuity junkie (and only accepting a sequel with Ripley taking its point-of-departure in the ending of ALIEN: RESSURECTION). As it happens, the latter was much stronger than the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Blomkamps track record isn't good enough for me to have had any faith in this. It would have probably turned out like a giant fanfilm to Cameron's superb horror/action film, but without its quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I think Blomkamp's problem is that he tries to do everything, story and direction, and he's not particularly gifted in the former. The man had a good idea with District 9, and executed it well enough. But ever since, he's maybe had good ideas, but bad execution in scripting. The man can obviously direct, but he should stop being the Idea Man behind his own projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With THE VISITORS and SPLIT, he's back in top form, also writing-wise. But yeah, writing was one of the problems in his 'middle' films (between THE VILLAGE and THE VISITORS).
