Alien 5!!!!
|
Ok, just a few weeks ago Bill Mechanic says Fox won't be making a fifth Alien film, yet right now, as we read and type,
in the cubicles of the golden numbered building place, it seems that bean counters are dividing and multiplying, adding and subtracting all
the beans, then estimating the earning power of the beans, to determine whether or not to move forward on a fifth Alien film. Personally deep down inside I
want an alien flick where the alien blasts Ripley out the airlock at the end. (sorry evil Harry made me right that) Here's the report from the overly excitable...
Duck Pump... (I ain't even asking what that means)
I hope I have a scoop for you, its my pathetic little tidbit to the
greatest site on the Earth. Unfortuantely I have no crudentials what so
ever, just a friend whos in the movie buisness, so you can take this
letter however.
I have a relative who works as accountant for 20th Century Fox, maker of
the gizziest movies ever as you probably know. Anyway everytime I talk
to him, he gives me the run down on whatever projects he's working on.
Last week, during an exciting talk about whether Starship Troopers was
an ingenius satire or an inbreed flunkies screenplay, we got onto what
he was working on. Most the the stuff he talked about sounded boring,
because well accounting is boring. But he did mention a little tidbit
on how they were doing the preliminary budgeting for an Alien 5. Aliens
being the greatest movie of all time, i wet my seat and stained my
shoes. I attempted prying deeper but I was denied further information.
He usually just tells me the basics and doesnt reveal any secrets that
could fuck him over, but oh well that was enough for me to get excited.
Anyway thanx for making this great site, and I hope one of you can find
out further details.
If you would please call me Duck Pump
