Notice the 2014_03_03 date. This was being worked up to less than a year ago.


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

That all looks awesome except... Ripley with a suicide vest? Still, a proper Aliens film would be fantastic. None of this Prometheus bullshit.

Yeah, the time this movie should have taken place is intriguing. Doesn't Hicks die when the ship crashes at the start of Alien 3?


There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.

Not any more, that was retconned by the now-canon "Colonial Marines" - he was woken from cryosleep by WY when they sent mercenaries aboard the in-transit Sulaco after LV-246. He was woken, a battle ensued, he placed a dead marine inside his cryopod and then it was ejected.

That's the Sideshow Alien "Big Chap" bust, the same one I have. Nothing special about this one.

The rest look too much like Aliens to my liking.

Not canned though. He mentions in his tweets that it was his pet project and that the studio(s) didn't even know about it.

Awesome art. I would've really preferred Blomkamp directing/managing an Alien movie prior to Scott's religiously messy Prometheus.

You're correct here. Both movies were mediocre. With Prometheus being a little bit more mediocre than Elysium. But I somehow think Blomkamp would've pulled off an Alien movie better. It's just a regular gut feeling. Nothing more than that. Very Happy And Ridley has become quite rusty at what he does and is slowly losing grip of his former glory. I'm not holding onto high hopes for Prometheus 2.

Especially if Lindelol is still aboard for the script Laughing
But even if he isn't... yeah, still not that hopeful Sad

I liked Elysium a lot more. Not that it was a good movie, but compared to Prometheus, it was at least somewhat coherent story. Prometheus was shot well, had good style but made no sense whatsoever. I was hoping for a director's cut to make it what it deserved to be, like Kingdom of Heaven, turning it from a mess to masterpiece, but alas, Linderpdorp was involved, so nope.

Hah, didn't know all that. I wish I hadn't read this either Sad
But then again, I always hated the fact that everyone that survived Aliens, but Ripley, dies at the start of Alien 3. I've never gotten to fully learn to enjoy and embrace Alien 3 because of this.

I think Ripley is happy about this outcome, awakening from the stasis and having to deal with a xeno hand wouldn't have been too pleasant Very Happy Laughing (just kidding of course, I adore District 9. Elysium on the other hand..it broke my heart a little).

Really good stuff though, thanks for sharing!
