It seems interesting to consider the final product of another Fincher movie (except one where he is present from start to finish.) He is much more experienced now than he was when he did Alien 3 and has no doubt given a lot of thought to what went wrong with it.

Would another Fincher film be a mistake?

If he did another film should he work with Cameron?

Taking it a step further, if Ridley were to pass on before he could complete the Prometheus quadrilogy, would it be out of the question to have Cameron and Fincher finish it together?

Neomorph i agree.Every time Ripley woke up,they were there.There's only so many times you can fight these things before your luck runs out.It's a similar problem with the Dead Space games.

Ofcourse Myrrdin.I meant no offense.You are right that 3 probably shouldn't have been Ripley in the first place.I still like it but can't deny it's considerable flaws.

That's a very good comparison ninxeno, and one of the reasons why I only prefer the first game where he also didn't drop ridiculous one liners.

Isaac Clarke, similar to Ellen Ripley, was wasn't supposed to be a soldier initially, yet ironically they eventually turned him into a super soldier and stretched his story through further two games to an unnecessary trilogy.

I actually love the Dead Space lore, but they should've introduced new protagonists imo.

I'm currently playing 2 right now and just like Ripley he awoke right back into fighting the necromorph.They are great games,but whatever they do next they need a new hero,sort of like Dead Space Extraction.

Don't get me wrong Dead Space 2 is fantastic, especially at the start. But the slash fest Clarke endures makes the original premise less original and realistic (sorry Aorta ;) imo. 

I'm looking forward to a new Dead Space running on Frostbite engine or something, just look at how amazing ME Andromeda looks.

Dead Space 2 is great.My biggest complaint is that it's not as atmospheric as the first one.Really excited about Mass Effect Andromeda,unfortunately i don't own a PS4 yet.

Survival horror in general only lasts about three games before they become straight up action games/

Resident Evil 7 would like to say something about that

It's all they can do after the dreadful 5 and 6 and ridiculous story.

At least Silent Hill never became action heavy but the series did deteriorate after 3.Resident Evil 4 has proven to be an impossible act to follow.

@Ninxeno No offense taken! I'm just realistic with myself. I really have no strong factual basis for my opinion on the film, just a visceral response. Those are actually the hardest to overcome, at least for me.

Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

To be honest yes i prefer the dog birth,but this makes more sense.The Alien was simply to large to have been born from the dog.If you're asking if i did like Alien 3's plot then the answer would be yes.

A3 was terrific but just suffered a shitty ending with the plan being to dump hot lead on it and then Ripley leaping to her martyrdom. It's pace, tension, imminent threat was great. The euology and chestburster scene is a film horror classic sequence. It could have ended better without the trite shot of her death. It was a forced sentimentality that did not match. I wonder what Fincher would have done differently had he had his way.

It is interesting that the cow was dead and hanging prior to being chest bursted. At that time it was a first- all other victims were alive and had to suffer through it.

Back to the OP- I think Fincher could do a good job but I know he was pretty p^ssed and wanted nothing to do with the movie anymore. If he was approached, I wouldn't blame him for passing up an offer.
