What kind of April Fools joke will Fox play on us?

FOX Studios Release: To the fans of the Alien Movie Series who are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Alien: Covenant, we regret to to inform you that Alien Covenant has been temporarily cancelled due to our production team hopelessly losing track of what script we are currently on.

We have desperately tried to reassemble a coherent story by mixing and matching scripts ideas from writers on the SCIFIED forum, splicing old Alien material, and pulling stuff out the ol' rectal database. Heck, we have even resorted to clicking our the heels of our ruby slippers together.

To our disappointment, and we are sure, to our fans' as well the it, the film as it currently sits is getting viewer reactions akin to "Battlefield Earth". It goes without saying that level of movie quality should never be released. 

We ask the patience of all the fans of the Alien series. We also ask for some decent ideas (Please, no Alien vs. Guardians of the Galaxy storylines...) Once we have finished scouring all the AC forums, we should be back on the right track.

Hopefully, if all goes well we should get this film released before the end of of 2018, give a take a year or so. In the meantime, we at FOX Studios are offering a free Directors Cut version of Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, to all our fans as a token of our appreciation to you.

We understand and anticipate some backlash and angst from the fans, but we expect you will get over it and see the movie when it comes out.

Thank you.

suwhited

Hilarious XD  

Another bump.Unleash your funny side guys

Oops double post 

suwhited- nicely done!

Bumped because someone requested that BigDave weigh in on this. BD, could it be a misleading trailer or an honest one that we dismiss based on the date? Go for it!

As Darth Vader said at the end of 'Revenge'

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Ha Ha Ha!

BigDave inspired this one and gave encouragement to do it. Hopefully his intentions are interpreted somewhat well here:

"After the completion of the long awaited Alien Covenant, FOX decided that the movie would be more successful by reaching out to a broader audience and has brought in writer Peter Briggs of AVP fame to add a new dimension to the story. This will increase the movie length and require AC to be presented in two parts. Integrating the new writing with the current material will push the release to a 2018 release for AC part 1. FOX apologizes to fans but assures them the wait will be worth while. FOX also speculated fresh and robust debates on David 8's role with the Predator species on The Alien Covenant forum for the next year."

Ha Ha ;)

Or do like this from Prometheus

Predator in Prometheus

Throw this one in too

Some one else like Facehuggers! should do it.

Blowing the dust off this to see if anyone who is new or not been around for a while wants to take a crack at it.

04/01/2017 is just around the corner. What would be a good April Fool's Day joke be? How about the forum going dark for 24 hours? heh heh!

Dark Nebula was closest so far but it is no joke. AC is opening earlier across the pond from the States.

Centauri- is the bottom video from that Saturday morning show The Land of the Lost? They made those hissing sounds?

@dk I believe so!  

Centauri- Total cheese but perfect scifi for a kid back in the day! Indeed they are Sleestaks!

@dk

Centauri Was that from the same show? You have me geezing now!

Lol i was just watching Castle and they mentioned the f**king sleestacks

Looking very forward to a good alien themed april fools joke

Nycro- What would the joke be if you were the prankster?

I would totally leak a faked set photo or on set report of something rediculous...Like I dunno, Shaw partially morphed in a really bad version of a xeno.

Like some bad effects you would see on Syfy.

Maybe release a new trailer that 1 minute in, you find it was made of action figures and miniatures.  This of course would have to be accompanied by some sort of Rick roll.

Or maybe a making of featurette that shows some alien resurrection type shit and in the background with a quick transition from one side of the room to the other a predator suit can be briefly seen.

Now your talking! Ah- the Rick Roll lol! Those are all great ideas. (Check out Dark Nebula's post- 1st on page 1 ;))

It would also be strange if they put out something actually legit but remind us it is April 1st- that would really set people off. After re reading the thread I realize Chris already stated this idea on page 1 lol.

Ah, this is such a great thread.

Press release for alien covenant merchandise featuring Android David and xeno love dolls...Maybe a mutated Shaw one for giggles...

Neomorph I love that costume yo

A David and mutated Shaw Real Doll couple. Nycro says go big or go home!
