Disney look out, the kids want more Alien

MemberXenomorphMar-23-2019 1:08 PMHow cool can this be!
A New Jersey high school adapted Alien for its spring play:
"The entire production looks to be an amazing display of creativity, and it’s a huge step above your usual high school spring production."
I wonder if our VivisectedEngineer is behind it.

MemberXenomorphMar-28-2019 9:28 PMIt seems Mr. Perfecto Cuervo received the letter from Ridley Scott, that is clearly a photo of a printed letter:
What bothered me is the tweet below, which is the letter in electronic format, not the same photo as Mr. Cuervo's:
Forgive me if I am wrong, I wish so badly to be wrong this time.

MemberTrilobiteMar-28-2019 9:41 PMThat SUCKS! Two take aways though:
1- Scott Free can probably sue the shit out of this joker if this is the case. I would not want to be on the receiving end of RS and his legal team. Forgery is a felony.
2. Siggy's Twitter post is legit.....unless you believe in the fake manipulated news camp.

MemberXenomorphMar-28-2019 9:54 PMSiggy's Twitter post is legit, no doubt about it.
Mr. Cuervo's post is also legit. My question is if the letter he received is indeed from Ridley Scott. I hope it is.
Deadline used that other post and everybody took it as legit from Deadline. Including myself.
I am sure Sir Ridley Scott will bring light into this.

MemberTrilobiteMar-28-2019 10:00 PMThe letters look the same except the second one looks like it was filtered or processed somehow.
It would be a stupid move to commit a felony with the entire world seeing it.
My money is on that this is legit.

MemberXenomorphMar-28-2019 10:36 PMI think I'm being paranoid. This happens when things seem just too good...

MemberPraetorianMar-29-2019 3:31 AMI would rather face the Xenomorphs than Ridley Scott's lawyers.

MemberXenomorphMar-29-2019 11:55 AMOk, the letter is legit. It is mentioned on Ridley Scott Creative Group Twitter page @RidleyScottCG with a link to Deadline.com.
The post is from 5:36 PM - 28 March 2019.
Thank you, Sir Ridley Scott!
I am relieved!

MemberXenomorphMar-29-2019 8:28 PMGreat, dk.
Even at Disney they should have noticed.
Alien makes the national news!
Now it is a good time for a new Alien movie.
What do you think, Merlin can wait?

MemberDeaconMar-30-2019 9:42 AMI think regarding the Future of any Movie, a lot depends on not only how much Disney Gauge the Fans Interest but also on if they see it as Financially Viable
Reaction to the Amanda Ripley Animated Shorts was mixed, because they consisted of re-using Cut Scenes and adding a few more that were not quite as smooth as the Cut Scenes from Alien Isolation and i think Fans were expecting something else other than a Video Game Cut Scene series of Shorts.
Reaction to the Live Action Shorts will be interesting...
The options for Disney would be...
*Live Action TV/Streaming which could cost $3-5M per Episode (spending less than $3M could be very limiting). Spending more than $5M would allow for more Special Effects and Well Known Cast.
*Animated CGI TV/Streaming Series which would cost maybe $250k-1M per Episode (depending on the Quality and who they Cast for Voice Overs).
*A Live Action Movie would surely cost $50-100M (even doing it on a Budget would depend on level/amount of Special Effects and who they Cast).
I think Miss Weaver is beating the Drums of War for a ALIEN movie, Cameron also appears to be Championing a return to the Franchise, its likely their interest revolved around getting a ALIENS sequel done rather than carry on with any continuation to the Prequels though.
The Prequels are in a LOT of trouble despite Emma Watts being behind Ridley Scott as far as making a continuation with his ideas, ONCE they get the Right Story.... The Problem is a lot of Fans are just NOT interested in a Movie where David will be one of the Main Focus of...
The longer a Prequel is taking before the Green Light then the less likely it will be about David, well because surely a Android does-not Age?
But there are ways around this... from having a After-Math where David would be just as like Bishop was in Alien 3, and even open up the Possibility that David could Transfer his Soul into a NEW Body. Or Evolve his Current one.

MemberXenomorphMar-30-2019 9:49 AMBigDave there was talk about de-aging Siggy, why not de-aging Fassy.
Problem comes with de-aging Sir Ridley Scott.

Certainly this is another option i maybe could have mentioned, i also think any Flaws with a CGI Overlay can be passed off, because David is Artificial After-all.
Over time his Skin could have gained some GLOSS which could explain away any imperfections in CGI replicating a Exact Human likeness... because this is something that COSTS a lot of Money to do.
