Ridley Scott Downplays Neil Blomkamp’s Alien 5: ‘There Was Never a Script’

In fairness to JC- I respect and enjoy the deep underwater stuff and design of a craft that could pull it off.

TY for saying and you took the words right out my mouth!! :)

ALIEN 5 or whatever is was, I am glad it's Null.

R. Scott is taking us deeper into the universe we all love, and is not staying 'fixed' on one lone character, a universe of Humanity encountering mysteries, danger and facing the unknown in the dark silence among the stars. It seems that he's taking a view that each movie can stand alone and yet is connected to the overall Arc which is a good plan.

@dk -- if you want to watch Avatar, watch first Hayoo Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke film. It is had a lot of parallels. And Avatar is not a good movie imo. Just blow-up with 3D movie begins and so much advertisement made. I saw it in first day cinema with 3D, had headache and hate it. T2 or Aliens so perfect for Cameron.

Sparkz LOL! I love how you suggest watching something before watching Avatar and then saying Avatar sucks! ROTFL! Thanks friend, I will pass and I don't GAS about 3d gimmicks. Some of the best scifi I have scene was black and white video and mono audio  ;)

@Sparkz so true, that, combined with BWW's comments about how the story was plagiarized, and boom...there you have it. PLUS, those freaking creatures were UGLY, man.!

I was thrill about Alien 5 and a heroin Ripley, but --

First Alien, years after years became a masterpiece.

Second Aliens did more than Alien, Ripley caracter nomineed for Oscar (to date only Gravity had a nominee for Best Actress in a science-fiction movie, correct if i am wrong) and a lot of critics agree it is best sequel of all-time movie history.

Third, Fox just want to finished Alien story and Ms. Weaver done Alien 3. It had a lot of mess. Mr. Fincher do not want to hear about Alien anymore... Nice idea but a lot of mess. Also so much likes as end of T2. 

Then fourth Alien Resurrection, i seen it cinema on time, but it so bad. Yes on time clone idea is nice, sound is amazing but scenario awful, everything awful.

Then Fox make Alien Quadrology. 4-disk set as dvd. Make money. Make money. When not enough,

Then i do not want to talk about AVP or AVPR too. OMG.

But Prometheus give a hope, about something new and can connect with first Alien. Yeah love Shaw and Engineers story. Love David's acting.

Then in Alien Covenant -- They said wait a minute, first Ridley made his movies, later Alien 5 will made. And now he says there not a scenario about Alien 5... 

I am here reading when discovered from Fall 2016 this forum, and wondering so much about Alien Covenant, but after seen delete scene of talking Engineer scene of Prometheus and delete extended scene Lambert with Xenomorph on Youtube -- i had really deep disappointment. So i do not wonder much.

For me Alien (theatrical cut) and Aliens (special edition cut) is best movies in Alien franchise. I got these blu-ray disks and i am cool with that.

If there will be a good movie, name not matter if it Alien 5, 6-7-8 or Alien Bla Bla, just good film i'm OK with. But if it will a garbage no, please i'm not accept it. 

Sparkz Yeah, I agree about the first two movies but I would have the DC cut of Alien also.
