Help with Unfinished and Unstarted Alien movie projects.

Hey Bigdave definitely some interesting ideas here.

I've been out of action for a few months with Glandular fever, not much writing done. Noticed the site has had a sexy new makeover, very flash.

My Alien prequel Evolution's Nightmare is now 90 percent complete and i will post it soon. Re your ideas:

Alien: Unearthed, I have a similar concept for my sequel story Aliens: Lockdown in which survivors from the USCSS Kurtz reach the frontier system Tau Ceti II. They dock at Deep Station Melville and find it has been over run by an alien hive infestation. A Con - Amalgamated mining outpost uncovered an alien temple containing xeno eggs of a race which worshipped the xenomorph as deities (as in Star Beast). The infected miners spread the infestation to the Space Station.When the Kurtz survivors reach the station they find it apparently deserted. Investigating they find the station is in quarantine lockdown, and they encounter a group of survivors barricaded in a secure location. The aliens infiltrate the secure location and the survivors must traverse the infested station to reach a docked mining shuttle and escape to... a Weyland Yutani correctional facility in the same system!

I wanted to include companies other than W/Y and introduced the Con - Amalgamated mining company from Outland (A movie which as a kid I felt existed in the same universe as Alien, the costume designer from Alien also designed the costumes for Outland and it felt like these stories could have taken place in the same fictional universe).

The sequel to this story would be my version of Alien 3, they reach the Weyland Yutani prison facility (Which is more high tech and has guards and weapons) they find that Weyland Yutani has a secret experimental facility on the planet and are using the prisoners in hideous experiments with xenomorphs. The company release the xenos in the prison to eradicate all witnessess and the protagonists must team up with guards and prisoners, escape the xenos and try to reach the scientist's ship before it departs, stranding them on the alien infested prison planet.

I quite like your ideas for Alien: Affliction, I would be interested in seeing this story, the variations on Xeno reproduction/lifecycle are intriguing, and the creature design concepts are well thought out. A straight up Xeno infestation story would be cool.

I must admit that the story ideas based on Alien: Resurrection don't interest me much coz I really hated that movie! For my story purposes I stick to what is Canon as established in Alien/Aliens and ignore totally Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, Alien v Predator and Prometheus. it seems like this is what Blonkamp is doing for Alien 5 (which I have no confidence in whatsoever, Blonkamp makes films that look great but suck story wise he really needs to team up with a good writer!, and setting it after Aliens? I applaud him for ignoring the later crap films, but how the hell would this work? Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn are in their Sixties! How the fuck could they play characters 30 years younger? Shitloads of CGI and you end up with something weird and creepy like the CGI 'young" Jeff Bridges from the Tron sequel).

But I would definitely be interested in reading Alien: Unearthed and Alien: Affliction for sure!

CGI overlay can work or not depends on who does it and the Quality...

Jeff Bridges is good example of not a great job...not bad but for a big movie like Alien 5 it wont do, even though to be fair Sigourney would only need a slight CGI so could work..... however look at  CGI Arnold from Terminator Genisys apply how little they need of that quality to a Sigourney and Acid Burnt Bien and it could work very well

Maybe it could work, maybe not. I just find I really can't get excited about the return of Ripley or Alien 5. Introduce some new characters the Franchise is called "Alien" not "Ripley"! It's been way too long since Aliens, they should have done this for Alien 3.

I hope you didn't take offence from my comments on your Alien Resurrection story ideas, to clear the air your ideas are quite good, It's just that I hated Alien Resurrection with a passion and anything based on this waste of celluloid doesn't interest me, no criticism of your ideas was intended, just my contempt for an awful, awful movie.

No worries not offended at all....

My story was a idea of doing ANOTHER ALIEN MOVIE! set after or in the same timeline as Alien Resurection and i toyed with the idea of Ripley 8 DNA but thats not to say the draft would have Ripleys running around, the DNA could be used to extract certain characteristics and not to make a clone of Ripley 8.

The main idea was how and where do you go with Alien after Alien R?  The Xeno was dead after Aliens and Alien 3 why else would they bother with Ripleys DNA and the Ripley 1-8 clones, if the had Xeno Lifeform elsewhere?

So i thought how do we give us a new Alien movie, but do something a bit different to our usual Xeno... which is why i thought what if the company involved had shipped the failed Ripley 7 Queen to some other place, and also some early Ripley 8 DNA, the ship world travel at FTL speeds and so to go from a Space Station outiside of Earth to a moon around Saturn would not take long at all ... Prometheus at average speed to LV-223 would take about 5 minutes to get to Saturn from Earth.

So a ship that carries a failed Ripley 7 Queen and Ripley 8 DNA would surely get to a research outpost on the Moon Epimetheus  way before things go to pot on the outpost star base Auriga  even if we consider a vessel leaves a few hours after they extract a Ripley 8 DNA so before the  Betty docks with Auriga, this vessel then travels to the Moon of Saturn and docks within a hour after loading the Failed Xeno Queen and Ripley 7 DNA and then they start to experiment on the Queen... that leaves time for things to fall apart..

My idea was the ship leaves 72 hours before the Betty Arrives and so by the time the Auriga can contact the outpost on Epimetheus that Moon will be full swing into its own outbreak....
