Ridley Scott talks his 3D, 2-part Alien prequel

"In a controversial about-face, Scott announces new aliens will be 'assbursters'. 'The whole chest thing was so overdone. Then I met Beladonna and came up with a fresh new approach' Scott was quoted as saying"

CGI will fuck this up. mark my words.

I don't think you realize how much CGI there are in movies nowadays, stuff that you wouldn't even think was CGI. With that said, I do hope Scott goes with practical effects whenever possible as it always looks better, unless it's a guy in a rubber suit.

Currently having the aliens without an origin story gives them a feel of a cosmic force. I hope they keep some of the mystery instead of explaining them completely.

i hope they explain why their heads look like penises, with flashbacks showing the first species they infected

I thought this film was going to be about the space jockeys, but maybe I got my intel all mixed up.

They look like penises because Giger is a perverse little man.

I doubt a movie about the space jockeys could ever be made in hollywood I just don't envision it being possible to make that not epic sci fi weird bad ass unhollywood.

Yes, when the alien is partly invisible, but as soon as you see it in full it just looks like a guy in a rubber suit. They need to be much more alien in their physique, IMO.

The rest of the article in the independent mentioned the whole sequence of bad movies that Ridley Scott failed to talk about in his interview, so it was quite well balanced on the whole (as you would expect from the independent).

This could be really great.

This years Predators was men in rubber suits - and they looked great. The main of the (obvious) CGI came from the stupid pig things that were running about.

An alien prequel gives me major fap.

Does this mean H R Giger will be doing a new concept for the aliens? Seeing as the host would be somthing else

Giger has retired, I doubt he would pick up his airbrush for another Alien movie.

He said he would never paint again, http://www.imaginefx.com/02287754331556908460/hr-giger.html

Maybe he could just supervision and ok the designs.

I'm still undecided which is scarier: Alien or this announcement.

Yeah I heard the same a few months ago, the mystery of Space Jockey was supposed to be revealed.

He also felt totally shafted for his work on the original Alien, so I doubt he'd bend over for Ridley again.

You would say that, I am in 3d after all.

well this is fantastic news. i'll be at the theater for these the night they come out!

alien is one of the few truly great science fiction films.

aliens is awesome too but in a different way.

i'll wait for a trailer to come out before i form any expectations on this.

question:

i've avoided all the alien vs. predator movies, that's fine. but alien resurrection and alien3... are those any good? i've only ever read negative things about them, but something tells me they could be fun to watch.

FUCK 3d. FUCK it.

thanks for the ass of arterton gif. god damn.

i actually - i seriously mean this. this woman is truly the sexiest, most beautiful person i have ever laid eyes on. no hyperbole.

they're not the worst films ever but you're better off not having seen them. They're mediocre, resurrection is just some sort of freaky black comedy.
