Blomkamp's Alien film

Along with the new Alien movie there's also Prometheus 2 and another Predator movie

and the new Predator movie isn't a reboot, Seems also Shane Black will be doing it while Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad) would handle scripting duties

It's not gonna be done by Robert Rodriguez? I really want to see a continuation of that.

That acid can eat through metal bulkheads....so...sorry for being pedantic but a guy would be dead & not walkway with just a disfigured face.

Well we don't know what sort of medical supplies they may have in the movies, To prevent acid burning on skin especially of the xenomorph kind.

Guess it's like the light sabres, depending on which movies...it would cut through steel or bounce off metal railings....

He was clearly alive and mostly alright at the end of the 2nd film though, so obviously the acid didn't kill him.

Juz saying a single drop ate through 4 levels of metal floors in the 1st movie....

Well it seems to vary with the consistency in the films

even the first movie had different affects with the acid.

Not a good look.

Your inability to suspend disbelief seems counter intuitive and possibly even self destructive when it comes to enjoying movies. Most importantly...,good movies like Aliens. Out of all he scenes you could have chosen to scrutinize, its the one where Hicks lives? come on man 😂

My suspension of disbelief is fine.

I just get pedantic when I'm bored. 😉

I guess I'm more worried if they're bringing him back just for a romantic interest with Ripley...

That Ripley is coming back at all is a mistake, imo.

Well it does seems to be set after the second movie while also not ignoring Alien 3 & 4

so i fail to see where your getting your negativity from.

Sigourney Weaver is almost 70 years old.

I can already guess the plot will involve South Africa and some form of apartheid-like discrimination or oppression.

My only worry is Blomkamp's style of very bright sunlit visuals doesn't fit with an Alien movie. I think he'll struggle with a movie similar to the first 3 Aliens movie's dark, claustrophobic tone.

IDK about this. Every film he has made after District 9 has been some kind of thematic variation of District 9. He's never struck me as someone capable of horror, especially the atmospheric horror of the Alien films.

Still...a horde of attacking aliens in broad daylight could make for an interesting climatic battle.
