Alien Isolation movie???

I think an Isolation movie could be great but it would be better after Aliens since Amanda (mentioned in Aliens DC) was mentioned and she found Ellen's voice recording during the game. There was also evidence of a possible queen presence. As for making a novel of Isolation, I suppose it can be done but the game is iron clad solid and doesn't need a book.

I'm uncertain about the idea.Alien Isolation works great as a game,you lose something with the interactivity taken away.

The plot itself is solid,but follows so many beats from the original Alien it might fall flat on film.James Cameron's intentions as he put it were to not make the film like Alien or even take baby steps from Alien,but to make something new,and it worked.If Isolation were the sequel we got in 1986 i'm not so sure how well it would have held up.

Regarding a queen on Sevastopol.

It seems there could have been a queen that was heard but unseen. Egg morphing makes sense but don't forget the swarm of xenos that erupted under the reactor in the game. 

It could not be a prequel to Alien since there was that voice recording from Ellen that Amanda found. It seems it would happen after Alien- post Aliens is out since Newt would have had to be mentioned.

Ihad that old thread where i explained why i think egg morphing made more sense than a queen.Thought the horde under the reactor makes more sense with a queen.

I remember having a queen may have changed the experience. As SM correctly stated:

"The backstory was there was a Queen on board.  They didn't want to reveal it because it would create an expectation that you'd have to fight it, which they didn't want."

Agreed.It would have been predictable,not to mention it would have detracted from their intentions to keep it rooted in Scotts vision.

I don't recall if a queen was hinted at in the many files found through the game?

About 40 seconds in, you can hear what is arguably a Queen.

That's a cool easter egg if it was a queen. I like the idea of there being an unencountered Queen on the Sevestapol the whole time. no need to include it just because they could. The root of this game was the isolation of being stalked by the xenomorph. 

I'll have to play it again with the assumption that there is a queen onboard somewhere and see it changes the experiences at all.....and look for clues XD

I wouldn't be against an Isolation film because it was an excellent story, but I feel that story was best served as a game platform. Credit to Creative Assembly for creating such a dread experience.

Like I mentioned to you dk I initially watched my brother play through isolation and thought it looked like a cool game, then you convinced me to play it for myself....totally different experience because you were put in Amanda Ripleys' shoes and had the bloody things chasing you!

Movie's cannot recreate that experience of being stalked like Isolation did. 

But on the flip side, great plot, premise, characters, pacing. It would make for a suspenseful movie and be a welcome addition to the Alien films  

So far,i have played through the game 3 times and haven't seen any evidence of a queen,but i accept that it's there.I'm going to listen very closely at that location in the clip next time i play.

I don't believe there is any reference to a queen in any files or audio logs.For the most part you as well as the rest of Sevastopols inhabitants were meant to believe it was just one Alien stalking the station.The reveal of a hive comes as a suprise.

The challenge of translating a game to a movie is tough. I think the first couple Resident Evil movies were ok but that's about it.

That first Resident Evil film was mint!

Alien Isolation to me is canon.Wouldn't mind a movie if done right but I don't need it.I saw on Facebook some one pushing for a movie with Amanda Ripley played By Sigourney Weavers daughter.

Isolation is cannon.

We don't need a film adaptation of Isolation, but it sounds like the best idea right now instead of a bloated high concept movie that would likely fall flat and piss off fans....AGAIN.

Was just researching canon and saw that the makers of Isolation say its not canon to the movies.

SciFi Explained OK. We have discussed what is or is not canonical pretty thoroughly over the last two years. The outcome varies from Alien alone being canon to the Quadrilogy or only Scott films. It was pretty much decided that canon is decided on an individual level- including toys.

Please cite the Creative Assembly source stating Isolation is non canon.
