AC1 3,565 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 They both seem to want to do it. Ridley has two options. He wants to take the Aliens to Earth, or, he might go to their home planet and make a prequel.Cameron wants to go back to the "Freudian nightmare space" that Ridley once created in the original movie but, and this is pretty contradictory, he also thinks about bringing in Arnold Schwarzenegger into the Alien franchise.Who will succeed by seducing the producers and get the Alien 5 job?Read the articles.http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/427/4274....html?fromint=1---------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 9 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Exactly. I hope Cameron does it, sinceI wouldn't want it to waste any of Ridley's time, since he's been doing so well lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 9 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 and who really cares about the 5th in any series? Alien was dying a slow death untill the Quadrilogy came along and resparked interest, I think it should just leave it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 9 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 You don't want to see another Alien movie??? But you said you never say Alien! I'm pulling a Rogue Leader, and saying that since most people seemed to have hated the last two movies, why on earth would I want one very good director and one of the best directors currently working to waste there time making a 5th movie? And it's also trying to ressurect the career of the franchise's star, which I believe has never ever worked in a late sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC1 3,565 Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 And the point is that it's quite peculiar that both Scott and Cameron are interested. Hello, the originators! They were the ones who did it right and now it's like they're back just to show Jeunet and Fincher how it should be done. Cameron even wants to forget about Alien 3 and 4. Like they never were made.

Morlock 9 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 That also historicaly has not worked. John G. Avlidson did Rocky and then came back for number 5. And from what I also understand, the four movie have already explored the territory that the premise could get. 'Alien and Ripley battle it out on earth' is a show of how they've run out of ideas, as that's what others have done, and changing the location has rarely helped franchies also (though I think Escape from L.A. is better than Escape from New York). I'm surprised how a cynic like you seems to be really looking forward to Alien 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC1 3,565 Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 Because we don't agree on a few subjects I'm suppose to be cynical? How judgmental of you. Do you now like to label people too?Anyway, it's the only thing I look forward to, Morlock. A new Sci-Fi movie by Ridley Scott. I've waited 22 years for this. Of coarse, I hoped for something more original than Alien but after 22 years I kinda lost hope, and so I take what I can get.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 9 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 No, you are occaisionaly cynical. Saying that Master and Commander is Star Trak II on water for example. But I didn't mean it negatively, I'm cynical about many potential projects, and was just surprised that you're looking forward to what seems to me like a pathetic attempt to cash in on a franchise.

JoeinAR 1,759 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 my understanding of this was that Scott and Cameron would work together on this one if it came to fruition.Forgetting about 3 and 4 would be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 859 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Nothing good can come from a 5th Alien film.Actually nothing good came from a 3rd and 4th Alien as well as a 2nd Predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 126 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Maybe the project should be called Aliens 2.No I don't care. I'm going to watch it, but it wouldn't be a disaster if it didn't happen, even if Scott or Cameron would direct it. I mean, I really loathed Alien Resurrection, (Alien 3 has its good and bad moments), and isn't Weaver ageing? Or is it spelled aging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 9 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I think it takes much more than a good director to make a film good (Hannibal is a great recent example). The whole idea sounds bad to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC1 3,565 Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 But then you have "only" a good movie. It's perfectly possible to still make good movies. But with good I meant great, a classic, a gem, a treasure. And not only now but a movie that's still exemplary in 30-40 years. That's hard to pull off.

Alien 5 is not the only movie depending on the sucess of AvP. There's plans for Predator 3 and AvP 2 even! It just goes to show that Fox doesn't know when to stop squeezing the milk out of a dead cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I don't think it takes a miracle, just a whole cast and crew full of good people. It's relatively rare, but not as bad as most say IMO.Studios are the main reason casts and crews are not full of good people. Not only are they cheap, but they want an easy, commercial movie to ensure money. Even over the director's creative and artistic input.Then, contradictorily, they also "force" the production of bad movies for contractual reasons, as pawns for bigger movies, not as works of art (which they are not, think Cheaper by the Dozen and all movies of the sort). That's a movie nobody, not even the studio, wants to do, but they are pawns in big star's contracts.So yes, it takes a miracle. Either that or Steven Spielberg directing.-Ross, who doesn't like studio films because they have talented people working on bad movies; and who doesn't like independent films either because more often than not they simply aren't talented people.
