      The AVP : Requiem treatment would actually be a great source to tap for the FX Alien series. It allows for a great deal of freedom to evolve the story and action in isolation of the larger world. It also allows for the entire series event to be covered and buried from common knowledge.

    I love this video - thank you - I think Noah mentioned they are actually removing the prequels from canon for the TV series - this is a blessing as the prequels did not really add much to the series and Noah apparently is going along with the fact that the xenomorphs are more likely to have been around long ago, way, way before the events of the prequels. I think Noah, also mentioned he wants to go for the retro tech of the first two movies. I think Ade Edmondson (yes the brilliant British star from Bottom and Young Ones) he is in the ALIEN TV series, and one or two other well known actors are appearing in the TV series.

      Who knows? I think we both know that studios always find a way to inject new canon into an existing story regardless but I also wonder if you could argue that the heads in that tribunal meeting may have given Ripley a false impression that they were clueless to the lifeform. They were very quick to rap up the meeting for reasons unknown, especially considering how much she had cost the company. Also, nobody in that meeting was alive and working for the company when the events Alien happened. I'm just having fun with it all of course as we both know that when they made the first two films, I doubt anyone had in mind any of these matters haha.

      Bringing the alien to earth should only happen after the current movies not before, it's not impossible to pull it off, but the problem is the premise of these movies was about an evil company intent on doing just that, even risking our very existence, just to study and pethaps create a new weapon. But if the alien is now already here, even if it was through a rival company, they "must" now also explain how it will not affect what we already know for this to even begin to work as a series.

    @JONINXBOX 2 місяці тому +2

    I’ve got mixed feelings with the show.. setting it in a time where the Xenomorph are still really an unknown quantity and actually having them on Earth is going to require some really clever story writing so it doesn’t mess with the established timeline, also the story focusing on Ai and being self aware is kinda being done to death these days.. Westworld covered it brilliantly so hopefully this tries something unique.. that makes me think about an idea I had years ago is, if they can make these perfectly functional synthetics then why keep putting humans out there to find the Aliens when the synths will do a much better job and never question their mission?

    • @ENTERTAINtheDUDE
      @ENTERTAINtheDUDE  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes, so many questions just the same as me haha. The only way I can see them doing a good job is if they keep certain elements vague and mysterious and when they do explore the evolution of synthetics etc they don't copy what is already repeatedly done to death in other shows. I have no clue how they will show aliens on earth other than it will be a secret kept from the public but then it's bad enough now trying to hide stuff from social media... This one is further away than Romulus so we probably won't have any more info soon buddy.

    Also, honestly, if it's done properly, and done without any... 'android band camp' moments, I wouldn't object to the series having its own canon separate from the movies. I know I'm crossing genres here, but that's basically what 'Bates Motel' did, and the results were phenomenal. And aside from the first two films, and some of the lore given us by Prometheus, I'm not all that sure a lot of the sequel canon is really worth holding on to. Does anyone want another newborn? Cause I sure as hell don't. In fact, imo that's why we never got an Alien 5, because 3 and Resurrection turned the franchise canon into a hot mess.

    I'm hopeful as well. They really "only" need to copy Alien and Aliens. Those movies are extremely well done. I actually did kind of like the rest of the movies but strictly as stand-alone ones, not as continuation of the original two movies. As a series continuation, they sucked. We could see a lot of company spying and colonist action. Would be awesome. i.e. something like Cold Forge or Phalanx could be entertaining on the screen. And there are other good Alien novels as well (original three continuation novels Earth Hive / Nightmare Asylum / Female War) and several others. Hopefully they will either use some of these or hire writers who can write that quality.

      ​@AINtheDUDE My idea for an alien tv-series is as follows: It takes places just before the events in the first alien movie and happens on a planet near where the nostromo spaceship
      is shipping ore.
      Weyland-Yutani is on the planet and have terraformed it for years,when they discovers a cave with lots of xenomorph eggs.
      One of them get's infected and a xenomorph is born. It turns out to be a queen,and a lot of the Weyland-Yutani humans are infected and then
      a war breaks out.
      All the humans on the planet are wiped out and only a few manage to escape in a spaceship.Then they nuke the planet from orbit.
      Then Weyland-Yutani regrets the decision and a hunt for the xenomorph begins.They get a tip that there's a crashed spaceship on lv426 and sends
      the robot Ash on the Nostromo spaceship.
      But they are informed that the mission has failed and that Nostromo has gone missing.Then Weyland-Yutani get's
      a tip about an xenomorph on Fiorina161 and sends a team of researchers there.They finds a surviving prisoner that is impreagnated and a queen is born.
      Weyland-Yutani then wants to use the xenomorphs on the planets where the engineers are located because they want the technology to seed planets with life.
      They also want the elixir that provides humans with prolongued life.After they have managed to give birth to a flock of xenomorphs,they drops them
      on an engineer planet and causes everyone of them to die.
      Then they get hold of the blue elixir that gives
      prolongued life.But several ships with engineers that where away from their planet when Weyland-Yutani wiped the
      population out,pursue them and manages to get the elixir back,but gets trapped on the planet where both parties
      crash.Then a battle takes place and the crew from Weyland-Yutani gets the elixir that gives them prolongued life
      for thousands of years,but they are now trapped on the planet,with no means to get anywhere.But then
      they see a light aproaching,but is the spaceship friends or foes ?
      It turns out it is the engineers and after a battle they gets hold off the blue elixir once again,and that
      gives the cliffhanger for a second season that we must wait several years to see???

      @@user-sc9li1qt1e Well damm sir, you've also thought about this a lot haha. Lots of fun ideas there and it covers all aspects of Alien canon for sure. It's almost like it would need a sort of Lord of The Rings opening to show us the history and events leading up to the start of the series maybe. I really have no idea how much canon they are going to include into the show, like the engineers etc but the sort of stuff you are talking about would make a fantastic anime perhaps.

Hopefully it will cater to all our needs fingers crossed, take care.

    Typical Disney not giving a crap about the fanbase, just changing things without looking on forums. To dismiss the 1st 2, means people have invested in the cinema experience, given you money investing in the novels, 4k blu ray physical version, but you go and disregard people. This is why So many brilliant franchises are in ruins, Terminator, Predator, Robocop, they have all been rinsed and diluted into utter crud and confusion, lack of consistency and artistic vision.
    Star-Trek never had this issue !!!
    The Alien franchise has committed to making films, you commit when you release them, you cant just release stuff then say to audiences who invest 'pretend some of what we do isnt part of canon, pretend we didn't release it !'
    Terminator has been destroyed, from 2 classic movies, it has been destroyed over 4 shocking bad movies and a poor tv show. Robocop got ruined, Predator is almost a kids film now, the cgi and atmosphere in the original is long gone, all people associate with predator is this stupid looking big jaw opening moment used in every piss poor film and someone uttering the immortal line 'You ugly bastard' (How many times can you use the same gimmick ?)
    Alien films are now known for badly written unrealistic characters/crew and the moment in the movie where a xeno opens its mouth and shampoo oozes out of its retractable jaw. Romulus and the TV show have 1 last chance, if they fail, Alien is finished.

      Although i hold hope for the same reasons in that it is really it's last chance to reignite a passion among the true fans. I also share your thoughts on the climate of films these days and the way they water things down too much to cater for the youth. I love learning about history, going back a very long time and if there is one thing I have learned it is that we are a species with amnesia and keep repeating mistakes whilst not considering what made things great in the first place. ooh, I could go on but I'm on your side for the most part with what you say. I do also believe it is a fact that one day soon there will be a resurgence in A+ cinema as we do get some modern gems from time to time. The best thing Disney released in recent times is Andor imo.

    Alien the original movie had a cast of actors and actresses that were unknown at the time or were new at large production movie making So a cast of unknowns is not going to determine a good movie What will determine a good movie is the writers and the directors to fulfill that vision in storytelling What made Alien cinematic masterpiece was the idea of false pretense EVERYONE THOUGHT THIS SCIFI MOVIE WAS GOING TO BE LIKE THE OTHERS A B-MOVIE ESPECIALLY BY HAVING A HORROR TITLE TO GO ALONG WITH IT. What we got was a high budget SCIFI - HORROR MOVIE that delivered everything that made us for the first time question IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM 😱 and maybe space deep space can be very very dangerous by being unknown by being ALIEN 😂

    Yup. That’s what I thought. An “Aliens” tv show. All it’s going to be is allot of yak yak yak. No action. Very little actual “Aliens.” Same thing they do with every other movie franchise they want to make a tv series from. Which always fail. They just don’t get it. You can’t take an action or sci-fi or horror movie and make a dialogue, character driven show. The fans won’t like it. I hope I’m wrong. But I haven’t been yet.

      At best if it replicates the slow build up of Alien where it is all talking and half way through the film, still no Alien, and then it breaks into full unapologetic horror then it could be what we need. A TV has so much more time to tell a story that I just hope it nails it. These two new entries will kill the franchise if it doesn't work as fans are sick of these highly paid jobs going to ppl that don't understand what made them good in the first place. Both Fede and Hawley have done very good work before this and seems to love and understand the franchise. 🤞🤞🤞

      Rubbish! Blomkamp is nothing more than a hack and Aliens fanboy. We already KNOW (if you do just a bit of research) his Alien5 suggested that aliens built the derelict and that the Space Jockeys found it, and were in contact with W/Y all along in some kind of trade to save their species. This kind of nonsense would have buried the franchise by making everything the company did pointless!

    Ok stop saying alíen was Ridley Scott’s. He directed that’s all! He didn’t write it or come up with the characters. Everyone who knows horror it was Dan obannen and Robert Schusett that created it. How did this ever become Scott’s movie. The second was even better and it was not written by Scott either. The only ones he wrote were the prequels that sucked and did not tie in very well to the better movies made before it. Ridley destroyed this franchise when he had creative control because it was never his in the first place!
