"W E Y L A N D" TV Series? Investigating the rise of A.I. & Beginnings of Building-Better-Worlds?
W E Y L A N D (was HyperNova)
MemberOvomorphMay-11-2017 11:55 AMI've often thought of a Peter Weyland TED TALK-in-tone TV series that pursues WEYLAND Corps. branching-out into 'Dark-World' Projects and technologies that would lead-up-to the rumblings of the initial Prometheus Mission. What lead-to the planning, preparation and initial justification(s) for the mission in the first-place...
It would have a Blade Runner 'Tyrell Corporation' feel to it too, dark-looking like the first Matrix film but thats just asthetics. The primary function would be the delving into the corporate macinations of WEYLAND's rise to prominance and its consolidation of power. Its journey to WEYLAND-UTANNI's eventual merger and the power-play behind that connecting the dots to discovering the first extra-solar worlds, star systems and their eventual colonization, what may have been discovered there upon those new worlds in the early timeline of the Alien-Universe and what implications they hold for Humankind discovering them.

IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING

MemberDeaconMay-11-2017 4:25 PMOne Hand Ridley said a few times the Franchise can grow Big...
He is right as we have..
*Weyland Company (everthing it creates)
*Yutani Company (why was their a rivalry and how did the Merger happen).
*Androids and AI could be explored.
*Colonial Marines.
*Engineers and their History and how many other things they create.
*Various applications of the Black Goo and Evolution to it.
SADLY......
Ridley Scott has said there wont be Spin Offs, hints there wont be no Prequels apart from the next movie which directly follows Alien Covenant and leads to Alien.
And they are going to follow just one piece of thread... and thats HIM (Xenomorph).
A worry is he feels there could be another 4-6 movies, which if no Prequels to AC, or Prometheus and no Parallel Spin Offs.
Means to me we will be seeing Alien Awakening.... then Alien Sequels. ALL ABOUT THE XENOMORPH... oh maybe David and Ripley lol

MemberFacehuggerMay-11-2017 4:31 PMIt be a wise move to create a Netflix series where we could expand the universe and spend time with characters from within the universe.

MemberFacehuggerMay-11-2017 4:37 PMMaybe we should all get together and write an anthology series...

MemberOvomorphMay-13-2017 2:52 AMYes-All, who replied... I hear-You and what Your observations say too. Its one of those situations that in the near-future, far-off future, after a franchise has been completed a "re-think" happens/occurs and who knows, this concept may, by-then, might not be so far-fetched or wishful-thinking after-all!...
