Brónach 1,301 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Worryingly, the script is from the writer of Lost.....If I had to go with Lost, he's good in the short distances. A two hour film sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,034 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 What a terrific teaser!1. It gives a great sense of what the film will be like without giving anything away2. Leaves you instantly yearning for more3. Hinted at being tied to the original Alien film without directly saying soI loved the 70s look it had, and the special effects were very good - didn't look like typical CGI ever.Hopefully the film itself will be good - I trust the director, actors, set design, cinematography, etc - It all hinges on whether or not the script is any goodStrongly agreed on all points!

Brónach 1,301 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've just realized that this film is released in Spain two months late, meaning I won't be able to go see it in English, meaning I won't see it at the theater.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I agree. This film will not even have anything in common with Alien.

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well to be blunt, the "space jockey" discovered on LV-426* wasn't human, but it wasn't xenomorph either. That makes it alien. And if there is a species of space jockeys and a species of humans and a species of monster that breeds with whatever it wraps its facehugger around, then we "assume" there are plenty more species of "alien" life forms out there.Yet there is only one alien that is truly the Alien, the titular monster of our series. This could be all very confusing trying to take this seriously.* I don't think LV-426 was named until Cameron's movie, making it another non sequitur in the eyes of the cos man, but it's easier to type than "the planet that the Nostromo looked at in the first movie." Oh dear, I ended up typing a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,301 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I think they called it Acheron but Cameron didn't know about it. In the same way, Cameron ddn't know about the man-to-egg scenes so he made up his own idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
