All I can say is really? Is there a "Dislike" button here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Why do they have to be related? Makes me appreciate Prometheus even more. Assuming Rapace won't get retconned as a relative of Ripley or whomever.

She'll probably be dropped altogether, save for maybe a mention. And I don't necessarily think this idea is terrible, I just don't approve of it. It made sense in something like Alien: Isolation, here it kinda feels a bit like pandering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macleod Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Scott, though still retaining a lot of power in the industry, is clearly feeling the FOX pressure here based on the middling performance of Prometheus. There's clearly a directional push down the exit lane towards Alien territory by connecting it not only through title and creatures now, but apparently more (as above). Yet Scott and his ego were able to muscle Blomkamp's film out of the way...too bad, I'm much more interested in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he just did the Martian which was a Smash hit and Prometheus without being marketed as an alien movie opened over 50m and its R.

None of what you said is false, except for you saying what I said wasn't true ;-) I'd urge you to, if you want to do real research, look back at the past couple of years of Scott quotes about the Prometheus sequel, and see how they change over time, morphing into discussion much more resembling familiar "Alien" territory, and see how Blomkamp/Weaver were also very clear that Scott "wanted his movie to go first." Promotheus, while generating a strong opening weekend, does not remain in "good standing" relative to its critical and audience reception.

RichWS Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The Blomkamp project has always seemed like a terrible idea to me. Then again, I'm not really a fan of the guy's work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdeezy Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I have no idea how Scott is so prolific for someone his age. And its not like he's out here directing a bunch of indies, he's doing all this big scale stuff back to back to back. it must be fucking exhausting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
