Not something I'm really interested in, but it might keep him away from Monopoly. Plus, at least he's not a hack or self-proclaimed 'fan' and can actually direct.

Unless of course we end up with Alien vs Monopoly.

But that all ended up on the cutting floor

It was then pretty much accepted that its a runner alien because it came from a dog/cow (again depends which version) and the industry has run with it since. But some designs of the new alien (from Giger) had it designed like a panther etc.

its an interesting topic left over from the nightmare that was the alien 3 production.

God no, the avp alien design was awful, they shrunk them down to the size of large dogs and had the design completely wrong, it was awful.

In other words I have nothing and am making an educated guess on a pitch that Scott and Cameron were rumoured to have made about going to the alien homeworld.

I know towards the end alot of people disliked Weaver and the Ripley character, but she's a strong character which it has shown that without her the franchise suffers (both AVP films had woeful leads) and doing a prequel with a new lead character will really make or break it if they cant find a decent substitute.

What i wanna see is that whale alien they spoke of in some marine book. Whalian.

I'm really looking forward to this movie. The idea of a prequel is interesting for one reason, the fact that humans have to be involved in some way.

The story would have to tell the story of how the Company found out about the Aliens without actually managing to get their hands on them. It is through this that Scott could give the Aliens a more detailed back-story.

I personally think the original alien design is still by far the best one and hope they keep it to that as much as possible. CGI has, in many ways, ruined them as terrifying monsters. There was just something so raw and natural about the original design.

I'm a huge fan of the Aliens, Predator and AVP films. With Scott directing, this should be a fantastic flick I think. I look forward to seeing it.

The new Alien movie - Alien Harvest, as it is known in its script form - has seen its script, by writer Jon Spaihts, leaked on the internet. The script - a character-driven film set a few years before the original Alien film - is currently in pre-production with Ridley Scott is the director's chair. To read the script follow this link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4083772/2454...en-Harvest.pdf

Havent read it myself yet, but will probably give it a shot tomorrow.

Sorry in advance if this breaks any forum rules.

Duggy747 · 28-02-2010, 00:26

Meh, these "leaked" scripts are usually balony and rarely represent the film itself.

It's still very early for Scott to do any work with the new Alien film as he's still working (probably done now) on the new Robin Hood movie and he'll be spending a few months promoting the film too.

Still, can't wait to see what he does with the Alien franchise. More than likely it won't be a brain-dead actioner............or could it?

PirateShampoo · 28-02-2010, 00:44

Half way through the script now, i dont think it would be the film. Theres even a gay sex scene in here lol.

I know, I'm looking through it too. This is well fake, just some fanboy's script renamed to get it some coverage / throw scent off / attract interest in the film, etc.

Interesting to see how Scott handles this "prequel". After Aliens there wasn't too much more you could do with the franchise but after the brutal past few films it's nice to see the original guy return to the helm.

Ah bollox, i printed it off, put it into a binder and stuck it on Ebay for $199.99

fonecrusher1 · 28-02-2010, 01:00

Who cares.
The whole Aliens thing used to mean something to me up until that abomination alien resurrection was unleashed in 97. I went to see it in the cinema & unfortunately my worst fears came true. Utter utter tripe followed by more & more detached & just plain silly sequels.

Whats next? Aliens vs KingKong?.....the aliens inexplicably travel to skull island to take on a huge 50ft rampaging gorilla....for some reason.

The 3rd Aliens film should have been an end to the whole thing.
