Prometheus

It's not a remake AFAIK, it will be set after Prometheus 2.

Aaah, i see.. thats another matter then... The AVP movies wore it out for me I'm afraid, got the sense they were wringing out the rag of the franchise but I'd give that a fair viewing.

Blomkamp had to "adjust" a few things after Promethius 2's story became apparent.
Ridley Scott is the producer on Alien 5, so a bit of cross pollination going on there....

[Ali Tait]

Yes agree. Still think there's mileage in the new films though, if they are done right.

I took that they were going to wipe us out to clear up the mess from their experiments, one of which had gone badly wrong and led to their own devastation. Note the dead bodies they found with the chests burst open and the ghost things running away....

+1

I've been captivated by the alien movies since i saw the first one when i was far too young, watched it through a gap in the living room door when my parents thought I'd gone to bed. I was terrified but I couldnt tell them why as then they'd know I'd sneaked out of bed and I'd have been in double trouble

I too saw it at a young and impressionable age, although my Dad actually let me watch it . He was on the crew and was one of his happier memories of the film game. In the loft there were a few boxes full of panels from the cockpit of the Nostromo (along with scripts, crew invitations, photographs, passes etc...) which were intended to be incorporated into my bedroom but never happened . Sadly they're all gone now, my Dad immigrated to New Zealand in 2002 and as he couldn't sell it took it with him, he died in 2010 and I have no idea where they ended up?

.... however by the time I got to my heavy metal teens the bedroom wall was covered in H.R. Giger pics... so much in fact that one of my girlfriends wouldn't go in there. Eventually realising the self defeating folly of this they were soon replaced with less terrifying stuff.

Unlucky, I did the opposite, I met a girl studying art and in an effort to impress her covered the walls of my dorm with Giger prints, she saw through it but must have appreciated the effort .

+1, but I also enjoyed Resurrection so make of that what you will .

Fantastic series of films all round although I do think it could be said that the AvP stuff dilutes the thing a touch.
May well be a generation thing as I was a young lad when Alien came out.

Btw. Anyone here see Sigourney Weaver as a sex symbol ever? Never did it for me.

She did it for me, especially when she was a bad girl in Ghostbusters...
Getting on a bit now, still got it.

Tell you what, She has a lookalike from when she was young, Summer Glau?

Right, off for a cold shower...

[agk]

Whoa there! Summer Glau is Fit (note the capital F) and a whole bunch of other fine things. The Weaver is ok but that jaw man, it just ain't right.

Seem to be going off topic here into realms better suited to the folk in an American Indian accommodation named forum.

Indeed! Loved the skin head in Alien 3 but, hot as a bad ass Ripley clone in Resurrection, but Galaxy Quest was her best moment

[Gazjam]

Galaxy Quest. She does blonde good well does our Sig.
Sorry for the digression Chaps...
