Of course he’s going to say that, but somehow this is the first I’ve heard that Fede Álvarez is directing an Alien movie. It’s hard to be optimistic about a new Alien announcement lately, but I’m hoping this gets a treatment similar to Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey. It’s also a Hulu release so we’ll see.
The bars pretty low right now.
Gee, I hope it has more androids fingering and blowing and a bunch of scientists doing REALLY stupid shit.
Edit: the article may as well have just said “Ridley Scott swears it will be a hoot and a holler this time and definitely isn’t going to be fucking stupid again” because of course he is going to praise it.
You should get a boyfriend. It’s OK, no matter what Shapiro and Walsh say.
I know the franchise has been on a downhill, but I really loved Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey and felt that it breathed life into the Predator as a menace once more. Maybe all Alien needs is a nice, smaller budget, more classically focused sci-fi horror film to revitalize the franchise. I don’t know if Fede is necessarily the prime choice, Dan at least had the excellent 10 Cloverfield Lane under their chops, but I think giving relatively new directors tired franchises is great.
Prey was amazeballs!
I watched all of the Predator series except for “The Predator” before watching “Prey” and “Prey” captures everything that made “Predator” amazing!
What do you mean? I’m not really aware of recent alien entries, have they been bad?
It’s more like great ideas, poor execution. But i also think if a movieseries has 1 or 2 great entries, the other films in the series are judged more harshly even if they are still ok, just not great
