MemberChestbursterFeb-09-2019 2:06 AMGood. Cameron can do Renaissance for Alien. It doesn't matter as a director or as a producer. Blomkamp is a good director too. I think - they both together can create a masterpiece!

MemberDeaconFeb-09-2019 7:40 AMI would be DEEPLY concerned this would be a Reboot of Alien 3, as Miss Weaver would likely be involved with Cameron and Blomkamp to pitch the BRING BACK RIPLEY! to Disney.
I think it appears that Blomkamps Alien movie had some interesting ideas, and originally it was not involving Ripley, so i would like to see some of those ideas used... but the ONLY way i would like to see Ripley would have to be a continuation after Alien Resurrection.
And i have mentioned the IDEA i have for that on here a few times, that could Incorporate a few of Blomkamps ideas.
I fear we will get the "Alien 3 and Resurrection" never happened route though and a FEAR for me is IF this does well, then we will get a "Prometheus and Alien Covenant" never happened set of Prequels that i would not be surprised also has a RIPLEY connection.
IF this happened (Reboot Prequels) or they never got made... but a few Cameron/Blomkamp ones do... i would feel sorry for Ridley Scott...
But i guess they would make MONEY... especially for the Generation/Fanbase who would love to be served up AVP Movies over and over, Marvel Hero Movies over and over etc.
I would not be so happy to see a Aliens 2, Aliens 3, Aliens 4 etc... with similar Formula to a Aliens or Alien Resurrection Repeated over and over.
But ALAS its what Disney intend to do that counts... they will consider a Alien Movie if they feel the Interest in ONE that has a certain PLOT that will make $$$$$$$

MemberFacehuggerFeb-28-2019 10:24 AMI don't think it is a good idea if J. Cameron would go with Blomkamp's Alien sequel soon. First Fox should let R. Scott finish his prequel series. I know it is very unlikely that they give him full freedom in creativity but they should.

MemberDeaconFeb-28-2019 3:18 PMI agree....
Its if they have confidence in RS and his ideas, or they (Disney) would think Camerons ideas would make more money!
The Prequels being Finished would be ideal.... even if its in the form of NOVEL... the Question is IF we have Cameron given the Green Light would he pay Respect to the Prequels?
Or explore his own things that may conflict the Prequels or plans on how they could have expanded/ended.
So my FEAR is they do a Blomkamp lets Ignore Alien 3 and Alien R, and have a Aliens 2 instead.. and it DOES WELL...
We would get a Blomkamp/Cameron Aliens 3 that may conflict the Prequels and then EVEN see a Reboot of the Prequels..
Where we would have more a Aliens Apocalypse The Destroying Angels kind of Space Jockey.
Where we would likely only see HOW and WHY the Eggs came to be, and would not expect much about the Space Jockey Race.
And the Space Jockey would likely be a SKELETON!

MemberTrilobiteFeb-28-2019 9:53 PMIt could be a smart move for Disney, and I might be on board if he doesn't erase A3 and AR. They could easily do this if they used Amanda instead of Ellen.
I have pretty much given up on Scott and the Jockey at this point.
