Blomkamp's Alien film

To each their own but you're still an idiot. Probably haven't even seen the movies you're commenting on

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

I actually liked it, for the quirkiness of it. It's just extremely sad, depressing. I think he was dealing with the death of his brother.

Aliens has always been my fave of the series so this sounds pretty damn interesting.

The pulse rifles are getting some upgrades

RE this movie: I actually have zero faith in Blonkamp as a director at this point. I mean, by his own admission he's kind of a shitty director, so why do people keep paying him to make movies? He's an idea man- take him on as an art director or something, but don't let him near the script or the director's chair. [/B]

I'd rather put my faith in a humble director who plays his talent down then a director who lives off his past reputation.

District 9, is a very good/solid
Elysium, is pretty decent; def has entertainment value
Chappie, was enjoyable, although tongue-in-cheek, but I think that was part of the point

The only thing we're missing from Blomkamp is a thriller/horror aspect, which imo should be part of any Alien flick. All in all though, I think we're in good hands here with him directing another SciFi.

Blomkamp knows his actions scenes.
You can sense the violence. People who get shot play their injured roles well, they don't shrug off a bullet wound like it's an insect bite.

In this sense I can see Blomkamp creating a credible & enjoyable Alien.

Yeah, I think he's capable of making a good Alien film, as long as it is more Elysium than Chappie and as long as he uses a steady cam.

Chappie was shit. I think he must have just been a big fan of that South African band and wanted to work with them, but they were awful actors. Even Hugh Jackman was awful.. that mullet, though.. was awesome. lol

So is this movie even happening?

Yeah, if it hasn't already started shooting it's going to start soon. They had to delay initial shooting because there needed to be script changes after, Scott revealed certain plot points for, Prometheus 2.

So we getting Prom 2 and this. That's badass.

****.

That's a shame.

Hate to say it but that's what ruined the 1st Prometheus, Ridley Scott's indecisions of where the plot's going. Now he's doing it all over again.
A supposed sequel that's not a prequel..what the hell?

*not should be "now".

Stupid autocorrect.

When given the choice between having an Alien-related movie by Ridley or one by Blomkampblomp, it's a no-brainer. Give me Ridley all day long. This ain't no thing.

I lost faith in Ridley giving us an Alien-related movie after seeing Prometheus.
If he can't make up his mind which way to go with a story line then give it to a director who has the integrity & passion to stick to one vision.

Putting this on hold is terrible news. ****.

I need my Ellen Ripley fix.

It could also have to actually due with the terrible reception of Chappie.
