James Cameron, 3D Coolness, his future... and ALIEN franchise possibilities!!!

FIRST! And what about " by Atticus Finch	Apr 6th, 2003 01:27:14 PM

Ooops...I meant to say "What about True Lies 2" starring Tom Arn by Atticus Finch	Apr 6th, 2003 01:28:26 PM
Wasn't Tom spouting some stuff recently that he and Jim had been meeting for this?
Alien 5 starring Tom Arnold! by FakeTrout	Apr 6th, 2003 01:44:40 PM
Cameron wants to milk Alien when he passed on milking Terminator? what the fuck?
Okay, so I'm second................ by Beau	Apr 6th, 2003 01:45:41 PM
.......but we try harder. What I want to know is, just how involved is Jimbo in the attempt to get the "Alien" franchise back on track, and in what direction DOES he intend to take it? This is Beau, LSOTN, signing off............
Oooops, my mistake by Beau	Apr 6th, 2003 01:49:19 PM
I guess I'm third. I can only say (in my defense) that I did not see FakeTrout posted when I started my own..........and the question still stands. What does Cameron have up his sleeve here?
This isn't impossible to believe, both Weaver and Scott said som by Fatboy_Roberts	Apr 6th, 2003 01:57:12 PM
I think maybe Cameron recognizes that Aliens is probably his best movie. I know Titanic was his dream project and Terminator was what got him here--but if you sit and look at Aliens by itself, as a movie, as pure moviemaking craft--it's his best work. Who wouldn't want to revisit their best work when it looks like their craft has gotten even BETTER since then? And imagine an Alien movie where he's not tethered to the Ripley story now..I like letting him run COMPLETELY free in that universe to come up with something nastier and meaner than Terminator could be. I think he just wants to really scare the shit out of us, and I hope to God he scared Fox into dropping Alien vs. Predator. And I hope Fox is calling Rodriguez back about his Predator 3 treatments, too, but now that's just wishful thinking.
The Alien franchise is dead...leave it alone. by morGoth	Apr 6th, 2003 01:58:44 PM
The last one was really stinko. God forbid Cameron should come up with something completely original or ANY producer/director, for that matter. ** So, does that mean we'd all have to wear those dorky 3-D glasses again? I still have mine from a Captain Crunch ceral box.
Also, Alien fans are gonna be REALLY happy soon by Fatboy_Roberts	Apr 6th, 2003 02:02:24 PM
What with the workprint version of Alien 3 hitting DVD all restored and remastered, and this project possibly getting off the ground. Maybe we can finally erase Alien Resurrection from existence once that workprint hits. I've always like Alien 3 prior, and I think a lot of the elements being re-introduced will fill that movie out tremendously, make it much more well rounded and..well, aside from that whole "How the fuck did the egg get on there in the first place" shit, it'll make way more sense, thematically and logistically. The dream would be: A James Cameron production of a Ridley Scott film. Written by James Cameron and Scott Frank. Directed by Ridley Scott.
Could someone please explain to me.... by Jimmy Jazz	Apr 6th, 2003 02:04:23 PM
the origin of Harry's near-psychotic antipathy for Paul WS Anderson? You'd think the guy made off with Harry's refrigerator the way Harry goes on about him. Granted, the guy is hardly Kurosawa, but there is a lot worse out there . I personally find Anderson to be a competent, if uninspired, director of adaquetely diverting action potboilers. Nothing more and nothing less. I kind of dig the guy's stuff because it doesn't aspire to greatness. It's crap, but I think it's good crap. That's more than you can say about the likes of those true paragons of hackdom, Bay and Emmerich, who can't even accomplish that much. But regardless of your opinion of the guy's stuff, I don't think he has done anything to earn the level of rancor that Harry apparently holds for the guy. So what's the deal?
Fatboy... by Margot_Tenenbaum	Apr 6th, 2003 02:18:01 PM
Even better, I'd like to see both Ridley Scott and James Cameron directing, using a "Godfather II" intercutting structure, with Cameron wrapping up the Ripley story on the Alien homeworld, and Scott finally doing his long-discussed "story of the Space Jockey". I'm no big fan of heavy CGI, but I think super-detailed moving CGI Giger paintings would be the bees knees.
Cameron doing Crusade? Nice thought, but I doubt it by Salem Hanna	Apr 6th, 2003 02:18:28 PM
He supposedly stopped doing True Lies 2 'cause it was awkward making a romantic comedy about international terrorism after 9/11. So why would he find it any less awkward to make an adventure set in the ancient rivalries between Christian and Islamic civilisations? Sorry to disappoint the hordes of Arnold fans who've been waiting for this film for over a decade, but I just don't think it's going to happen just yet. Or at least, not with Iron Jim.
In the world of two great directors who are seemingly out of wor by T-MACK 1.01	Apr 6th, 2003 02:20:19 PM
Francis Fod Coppola and James Cameron. Both directors must head into the future. Here's hoping Coppola can get his Metropolis film made, and Cameron I'm thinking will mke a film in space. The charting of a distant planet. Somethin to show the riegns of how far technology can take us. That's what I'm thniking.
Additionally... by Margot_Tenenbaum	Apr 6th, 2003 02:25:25 PM
...you can trace the suckage of the ALIEN franchise by how far they get away from the original Giger look of the Alien and the surrounding production design. Bring back HR Giger for one last go and ACTUALLY USE HIS STUFF THIS TIME (ALIEN3)!
Harry Hates Anderson because: Solider Script vs Solider Movie by Caleb	Apr 6th, 2003 02:29:04 PM
any sane man that read the original solider script (a movie taking place in the same world as Bladerunner) was one of the greatest potential sc-fi movies ever made, it had everything, epic battales, characters, emotion, villians you could understand with real motives other than "im so evil.whahahahaha"...the film, well the film lead you to believe it was Universal Solider 5
Cameron is the man.... by Manaqua	Apr 6th, 2003 02:42:55 PM
The guy has my full attention. I find it very encouraging his continued interest in the Anime properties. That could amount to untold levels of coolness. M
Only if they retract Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection! by ADigitalMan	Apr 6th, 2003 03:07:41 PM
They should make a third movie in the franchise, because the last two flix dont' even count.
A Jim Cameron Aliens film would own. by TheMatarife	Apr 6th, 2003 03:43:14 PM
Bring back Hicks, and were set, maybe bring back Ripley. Please god save the franchise.
Jim Cameron's Exacting Script Standards by Buck_Turgidson	Apr 6th, 2003 03:45:39 PM
Come on. Please. I beg of you. Try to read (not watch) the Titanic script without laughing out loud. It's that bad. Same with Aliens. What made Titanic such a great movie (and it WAS great) was that the ship Blowed Up Real Good, nothing more. Cameron better not make a Historical Epic b/c that's when we'd really see that the Emperor Has No Script
Cameron's next will be a space film by Rik Booth	Apr 6th, 2003 03:53:25 PM
In Empire, it mentioned that his next would be a sci-fi adventure flick into space, using the 3D technology, and GOTA was a warm-up for it. On a similar note, I never even knew GOTA was in development, let alone coming out any moment now, so it is a pleasant surprise to see Cameron ending his hiatus. Good luck to The Bearded One.
"dreary" alien3 = a script with depth by jrcash	Apr 6th, 2003 04:22:55 PM
The film is a metaphor for the aids virus. Sorry its not as cheery and plausible as the ending of Titanic.
Doom? by llephen	Apr 6th, 2003 04:29:57 PM
Remember when there was going to be a DOOM movie? Wasn't he attached? Am i imagining things?
I'd most like to see "The Crowded Room" by user id indeed!	Apr 6th, 2003 04:30:22 PM
Especially if Cameron went back and added stuff. I loved the script, became fascinated with the story, sought out the out-of-print Daniel Keyes book... and was blown away. The book has so many interesting stories and entire personalities that didn't make it into the script. Why? Don't be afraid to make it long, Cameron. If it's anywhere near as amazing as the book, it will keep people riveted no matter what the running time is.
cameron liked alien 3....... by mister glass1972	Apr 6th, 2003 04:34:28 PM
i remember reading a review of alien 3 in starburst magazine a few years back, in which cameron said that alien 3 was a success - probably due to the fact that alien 3 was so radically different to aliens. personally, i'd love to see cameron OR ridley make a 5th alien film...wouldn't it be great to see those biomechanical beasties infest Earth! but for the love of god,don't make an Aliens versus Predator movie! sounds good,but it'll suck bigtime!
the ALIEN franchise is NOT dead by TheJake	Apr 6th, 2003 04:39:00 PM
Cameron is the man to breath sweet life back into Ellen Ripley. Aliens is one of the best movies of all time. Cameron can do it. I believe in him. Please God don't let it end with the shitty Frenchy's (stick to making wine bitch) bastardization of Aliens. Or some crappy CGI-fest quickly thrown together (Aliens vs. Predator) to make a couple mil. AMEN
Cameron... please tell me you're serious about making another AL by Psyclops	Apr 6th, 2003 04:43:14 PM
If James Cameron were to write and direct another Alien film, one that would kick the holy shit out of the last two installments, I can die a happy man. Please JC,... please tell us you are really considering this!!!!
Cameron Suck by DukeTheBastard	Apr 6th, 2003 05:13:29 PM

You have got to be SHITTING me, Pyle! This...this...jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, this is...I DON'T KNOW, DAMMIT! It could be monmentally cool, or it could suck beyond suck. I have waited my entire life, or at least since I was 8 years old, for a GOOD live-action mecha flick. I waited for ROBOT JOX, and held high hopes. It sucked. But Cameron at the helm? and a Go Nagai property? [PAUSES TO WIPE DROOL OFF CHIN]

Help me, Harry-wan Kenobi... by Shai-Hulud	Apr 6th, 2003 05:46:58 PM
...you're my only hope. You and I both know that this MAZINGER film hasn't a hope in hell of being made, Cameron or no, without a major campaign. Shed upon us lesser mortals the light of your infinite wisdom, and tell us how to get in touch with the right folks at Fox (or wherever) and tell them we the otaku want this flick so bad we can taste it. I'll e-mail whoever I need to. I'll drive to L.A. I'll kill anyone necessary. JUST HELP ME GET THIS FILM MADE! PLEASE!!!
ALIENS V. PREDATOR NOT A HORRIBLE IDEA by petern0rth	Apr 6th, 2003 06:20:21 PM
While I agree with James Cameron that another Aliens movie, possibly one where the Aliens reach Earth, would have to be made before Aliens vs. Predator, the latter is not such a bad idea. There were a bunch of aliens vs. predator comics done in the early 90's that showed the potential of this. Who wouldn't mind seeing the Predators, the ultimate bad guys, become the ultimate anti-heroes? Frankenstein vs. Wolfman doesn't have to be bad, it just has to be well-done.
I hadn't heard about the new cut of Alien 3. Good news. by FrankDrebin	Apr 6th, 2003 06:25:56 PM
I'm amazed A3 was as good as it was, considering they started filming without a script. Remember the original teaser for it? "On Earth, EVERYBODY can hear you scream!" But Fox decided it didn't want to pay for futuristic city sets and effects. Fox had also approached some serious sci-fi writers to come up with some far-out ideas for it, but then decided they were TOO far-out (and expensive). So they ended up with the usual shadowy, steam-filled factory tunnels for sets. And the creature effects were severely under-budgeted. Any style the film has was due to Fincher's talent.
MAZINGER Z? No. I would much, much, much rather see a live actio by Noriko Takaya	Apr 6th, 2003 06:38:15 PM
--GUNBUSTER!!!!!!! With Fairuza Balk as Kazumi Amano, Bruce Willis as Coach Ota and Thora Birch as ME!!!!! 200 MEELION DOLLARS for the budget, WETA for the SFX and the clone of Ludwig Van, O my brothers, for the symphonic score!!! Viddy THIS, Cameron!! BRING IT, GODDAMMIT!! BRING IT NOOOW!!!!! DO IT!!! DOOOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIITT!!!!!!! Ahem. O.K., I've calmed down now. Toppu o Nerae!

Harry's hatred for Anderson is because Harry falls in love with by Moriarity Report	Apr 6th, 2003 07:11:52 PM
But film is a director's medium ofcourse. I really don't understand why people even bother reading scripts or source novels before they see a film, because these then taint your perception of the film. 95% of films can always be "better". But because there just happened to be a script that Harry loved he then deems the director of the film to be a hack. Let's give Anderson credti for at least making the single compelling vision of a video game brought to life in Mortal Kombat. And for HArry to insinuate that Aliens vs Predator would suck because Anderson was at the helm is wrong too imo, because obviously it's just a bad, campy idea for a film. Why would any really great director take on such a film? They would need a guy like Anderson to direct this kind of film. Hollywood needs these kind of directors because most don't want to "lower themselves" to doing this kind of material, and ofcourse we can't really blame them because they are films controlled by the studio marketing.
USER ID!!! You glorious bastard, where have you been?! by XTheCrovvX	Apr 6th, 2003 07:32:53 PM
OK, just to cover myself, lest off topic chants fill the TB....i still think the main reason people are down on Alien 3 is because its not Aliens...nowhere even close to it in the action department.....i think its got major flaws, but it's still MILES ahead of the genetic experiment gone wrong called Resurrection...but anyways.....Monsieur Id Indeed, you owe me an email, damn you! Good to know you exist, now, you write!!! That is all. Revolution is still my name.
APPLESEED would have been a far better property for Cameron to g by Monkey_King	Apr 6th, 2003 07:34:53 PM
Can you just imagine a Hard-as-nails Charlize Theron running around with her cyborg boyfriend Briareos blowing shit eh fuck up and saving the Shirow Masumune inspired future? I sure the fuck can. So long as they don't cast any other actress who isn't right for the role. Make it faithful, make it good. That's all I ask. None of this live action AKIRA bullshit with half the cast being Gaijin/Gwailo or Kokujin, with a moive to sell a rap/metal album/movie soundtrack
Oh, and about the Paul W.S. Anderson hatred.... by XTheCrovvX	Apr 6th, 2003 07:38:04 PM
Harry, and basically everyone who read the script hate the guy because he took an excellent script, namely Soldier, and turned it into utter shite. Personally, I read the script after having seen the flick, and i still thought it was crap.....BUT, seeing as Paul Anderson is 2 1/2 out of 4 in my book (Event Horizon's the 1/2, btw), I cant hate the guy.....but Soldier still stings plenty, as it should....I just want the guy to give AvsP to someone else, or let Cameron take Alien 5 so he can get started on Resident Evil 2 already....
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE GAVE AWAY THE ENDING TO IDENTITY!!!! by TenderBranson	Apr 6th, 2003 07:38:25 PM
granted i wasn't sure i was going to see it anyway, but it ruins the film for me. or anyone that ever read "the crowded room" script, or the book "the minds of billy milligan". but any cameron film will be so amazing, i will barely even be able to muster a single breath.

I'd love to see Aliens vs. Predator but if Cameron wants to do a by Tall_Boy	Apr 6th, 2003 09:57:24 PM
honestly, James Cameron's "Aliens" is one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time (alternate between "Empire" and "Fight Club"). I still wanna see Aliens vs. Predator but if Cameron will MAKE ANOTHER FUCKING ALIEN MOVIE then to bloody hell with Anderson and bring on freakin Cameron! (joy jizzes)
Alien 5, written and directed by James Cameron by JackBristow	Apr 6th, 2003 11:35:33 PM
A trip to the Alien homeworld. Umm...just the thought of this is giving me a stiffy.
Paul W.S. Anderson...not too shabby. by drakelife	Apr 7th, 2003 12:00:41 AM
Maybe Harry is confused. Renny Harlin is the suck god. Paul WS has had a medium hit career. Mortal Kombat was one of the first and best video game movies ever...then Resident Evil hit the screen...DAMN!!! Teaming Marcos Beltrami and Marilyn Manson up for the score gave it a creepy as shit feel to it...can't wait for a sequel. I hope to GOD they make a sequel. PAul is not that bad of a director, he hits all the right notes, he just needs a good sheet of music to play by. Soldier was not great, Event Horizon had its spooks, but even Spielberg has crapped up a few movies. RESIDENT EVIL 2 BABY!!!!!!
The Alien Franchise is perfectly Okay, thanks. by zinc_chameleon	Apr 7th, 2003 12:43:45 AM
There's plenty more story to tell. Check out the Dark Horse series from the early 90's. First: James Cameron needs to use state-of-the-art CGI to create a full world populated by Aliens, where humans are simply food. One thing the Dark Horse people came up with was the idea that once a hive reaches a certain age and size, it's intelligence goes up exponentially; the limited telepathy we see in the creatures is a result of the fact that there are so few of them, and they just hatched. And then, the hives aren't stupid like bees; they network with other and set out their territories. The Earth overrun with Aliens was one of the creepiest storylines ever.
True Lies 2 is dead???? by stackpointer	Apr 7th, 2003 01:21:02 AM

If another Alien film HAS to be made (and I'd rather it didn't)- by Noriko Takaya	Apr 7th, 2003 02:08:53 AM
--then Cameron is the man to do it. At least it won't suck like the last two piles of dung. And leave "Ripley" out of it this time; just create an entirely new cast of interesting characters, pretend that Aliens 3 and 4 never existed and start from there. Toppu o Nerae!

The guy has no potential anymore to do a good Alien movie by Lord_Soth	Apr 7th, 2003 03:10:26 AM
He's making Titanic documentaries and other undersea stuff. Where is the actionmovie-maker Cameron of the '80s? BTW Alien 3 and 4 should be destroyed and forgotten, all copies.

Fincher by killing joker	Apr 7th, 2003 04:14:02 AM
They should give Alien 5 to Fincher with Cameron producing. They did screw him on the first one
Lucas by killing joker	Apr 7th, 2003 04:24:58 AM
They should give Alien 5 to George Lucas so we can have hilarious production shots of a serious actor like Day-Lewis trying to act next to some pleb with an alien mask on top of his head a la Jar Jar, while said serious actor is obviously questioning why the fuck he signed up for this shit in the first place (hello Liam Neeson)

cameron should just go and make Starship Titanic, actual budget 150 billion dollars which covers development of interstellar travel, building of starship, cameron ramming starship into massive asteroid and blowing it the fuck up. running time 2 days. the studios budget concerns are quashed when everbody in the world goes to see the film a hundred times despite the fact the the only good bit is the last ten minutes

Jim Cameron's project choices too many to pick... by FD Resurrected	Apr 7th, 2003 05:22:34 AM
No wonder it took long for him to direct a new fictional movie (Titanic documentary aside). Or maybe he was just relaxing for the last 5 years reading manga and sci-fi/fantasy books, watching anime videos, praising Avalon, and traveling around the world. Hope it's worth a long vacation that give him enough time to contemplate ideas to make movies again.
Arguably The Most Terrorifying, Unique Alien Species Ever Create by The Founder	Apr 7th, 2003 05:27:36 AM
Alien 3 was terriable, and while 4 had potencial, it was unfortunatly wasted by lack of vision. I think Cameron can still churn out a good one, people please, putting everything aside Cameron is a great director, Heck I'll be happy if he took a shot at Superman for Warners.
You go, Jim! by St.Buggering	Apr 7th, 2003 06:19:44 AM
I couldn't agree more about "Aliens vs Predator". It's a cheesy 50's B-movie idea, and I will never understand why fanboys wet themselves over it. I'm sure there were troglodytes just like them around when Frankenstein met the Wolfman, drooling on themselves. I'd rather see just about anybody make another Alien film than see a "versus" movie. And that goes for Freddy versus Jason, Jaws versus Orca, Exorcist versus the Omen, and Scooby Doo versus Jar Jar. Just stop it.
Aliens Franchise by Evil Muffin	Apr 7th, 2003 06:29:07 AM
Studio suits making stupid decisions have ruined several franchises (Aliens, Batman). It will take a director with Cameron's clout to get this franchise back in order. Very few directors can tell the studio suits to go pack sand. It will take balls and determination to revive Aliens. Cameron is the man to do it. An Aliens vs. Predator film would score an easy 50 million at the box office but would basically end both franchises. Taking Aliens in a different direction with a solid director without interference from the suits is a much more viable option. You want Aliens to live again, then someone has to tell the suits to "Fuck Off". Same with Batman.
JIM CAMERON IS THE GREATEST LIVING DIRECTOR ALIVE!!! by silentbobafett2	Apr 7th, 2003 07:25:29 AM

THERE is something HUGE in Alien WHICH MUST BE DONE for Alien 5. by silentbobafett2	Apr 7th, 2003 07:49:56 AM
In the beginining of Alien (1) when they first find the PODS there is that massive statue of a dead alien race, maybe over taken by Aliens OR MAYBE THE ALIEN THEM SELVES? The other Alien films (after ALIENS, have been shit becuase they have DONE nothing what so ever to explore this huge galaxy out there started in Number 1. Now if we culd PLEASE see the Alien world that would be amazing. NO RIPLY cos the public are fed up with her. BUT hicks or someone new interiley, maybe 30000 years after Ripleys time? Anyway, they go to the Alien world and WALLA ther eyou go. Scary fucking crazyness. I would love to see eatrth as they all always describe it but it would suck like Predator 2 (which I dopn't mind but it ain''t what Predator 2 ahoudl of been about) Alien 5 should start on earth, which is a dive, a polluted FUCK pool. A space craft is already in the distances pf space to find new planets and worls we can inhabit. It comes across the home land of the Aliens which is covere din cool as fuck HR GIGER designs and HUGE statues and cavaerns and machines!!!! And our heroes, bless them, try hard, they try sooooo hard to make it out but they DON'T!!! ANd the series ends, whats left? You;ve had a great ending, Ripleys dead, everyone else is (Maybe one surviver but that leaves it open for a suity FUCK UP!!!!) dea,d earth sucks, Alien planet is cool but scary and now used, space is explored and NO the suits, to make more money, can Make ALIENS VERSUS PREADOTR (but with a different name!) cos we know more about the Alien world!!! Or how about PReadotr 3 first, in spcae in wtheir world as well. SO both films are made by geniuses, Maybe Cameron on Alien 5 or Cameron Producing and Scott directing!!! And for PRedator 3 I'd have either McTeirnan (Cos it would be good for marketing) or RODREIGUEZ YESSS GGET ROBERT him give him the ADULT movies he wants to make. Spy Kids were fun but ENOUGH NOE ROD! We know you book, make John Woo in space, MAKE PREDATOR 3,.Oh, you wanna? WELL LISTEN TO HIM THEN SUITIES!!! FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!1 Does anybody agree that the above would work well to send both franchises WELL and keep both Suits and Fans and the publics and ANNOYING TALKBAC MOANERS happy. THE BEST OF BOTH WELLS. Apopgies but this post is sooooo long and boring that I can't be assed to re-read it for spellking and typos, of which I know there are millions, so I apologise. HOWEVER if you ahve read this, well done and I;'m srue you agree that I am right!!!! WOuld you like to add more to this scenario? Please do..... the floor is yours....... (JIm, call me)

Retract ALIEN 3, bring back Hicks and Bishop! by SamBluestone	Apr 7th, 2003 09:18:24 AM
All that matters is if they bring back Hicks and Bishop... they were the biggest badasses in that movie, and Fincher just killed them off. ALIEN was a brilliant horror movie, and ALIENS was a brilliant action movie. Even though Cameron represents all that I hate about Hollywood crap, I would love to see him do an ALIENS sequel. But an ALIENS movie without Lance Henriksen is like a day without sunshine. And Michael Biehn needs work!

Jizz, Jizz. You mean someone might actually make a live action movie of this. And here all along, I thought his Dark Angel TV series was a cheap copy-cat of her. Jim, you make this I'll see the sucker twenty times. ALITA KICKS ASS

Cameron... losing the plot and passion? by SlammerUK69	Apr 7th, 2003 01:01:00 PM
You bunch of fuggin TARDS! AVP would be one of the most intense, monster vs monster movie of all time. Fuck your gay Godzilla Man in Suit movies. AVP would be Aliens but with Preds instead of gay arse Marines. This movie WOULD FUCKING ROCK!! Imagine the scene: A battle hardened Pred, the leader of his clan, stands in a desolate land. His 'pride' stand behind him, scanning to the rear and sides for signs of life. The lead Pred, flicking through his various vision modes spots the first Alien crawling over the landscape approx 2 kilometers away, then another and another until the horizon is dark with the mass of Aliens. He calls to his clan, they unleash with a salvo of shoulder cannons and high ordnance. In a scene like Starship Troopers the mass of Aliens are ignited by explosion after explosion, the Aliens screams fillin the theatre. But still they keep coming, spread out by the initial Pred onslaught. AS the Aliens get closer the Preds swap their weapons, ready for close combat, knives, wrist-blades, spears, they stand line abreast. The first Alien is cut to shreds, its blood splashing across the lead Preds bare arms, the Pred howls in agony, exacting his revenge as the next Alien comes into arms length, he rips the Aliens head clean off and kicks its writhing carcass into the oncoming Alien onslaught. I could go on, but I'll probably end up writing a full descriptive scene, which none of you fuckers would read anyway. But suffice to say, the Alien Vs Pred game rocked, sold by the hundreds of thousands, the fan base is there, rename it, get it out there and watch as AVP becomes the greatest monster movie of all time. YA BITCHES!
AVATAR by franko	Apr 7th, 2003 03:23:27 PM
Yeah, why in all of this discussion are people leaving out the possibility that Cameron's gearing up to do AVATAR? By now CGI-f/x technology may finally be at the point where it can handle Cameron's vision for this sci-fi epic with a fully CGI "human" lead... this may not be the proper forum to ask, but I would do just about anything to get a hold of that 80-page "scriptment" that was up on the internet a couple of years ago...

alien vs predator be rubbished?? and Alien/s 5 by johnantbak2	Jul 7th, 2003 04:30:51 PM
Aliens vs predator is a prequal to the alien films and if done properly could be a huge revival to a diminishing series. The original alien vs predator story tells the origins of the "aliens" and how the predator created them for the ultimate hunt, how they got out of control and henceforth they infected a ship that eventually was found on Lv-426. And for a fifth alien film not to a repeat of previous disapointments in the series so far they should go back and read the "Earth War" story which would continue on from the 4th film with the military trying to tame aliens but things go wrong and they start to run rampant on earth. With Weaver having now stated that she would consider doing another alien film and would like to get ridley back on board, being a possible encouragment for another film, is good but the fact that she also stated that she would not have it based on Earth but rather in space would surly add the final nail to the coffin. Haven't you learn't anything space is not good for the ripley character.
THERE is something HUGE in Alien WHICH MUST BE DONE for Alien 5. by johnantbak2	Jul 7th, 2003 04:45:11 PM
In response to "silentbobafett2" the films you discribe that you would like to see; the alien origins and home world, IS the story of alien vs predator. You get to see 10,000's or millions of the ultimate killing machines beating shit out of preadators as the aliens get out of control. you see loads of their Hives and beautiful organic architecture. Look around and grab hold of a copy of the Alien vs predator store/comics/graphic novel.
