people give Paul no credit yet if he started a script contest everyone would flock to it. Odd how that worked out for the guy who brought us Cabin Fever, members of this site and Hollywood may not like him but he has made good enough films to sell well.
As long as there is an overwhelming audience for RE and AVP they will keep Paul in business, people who buy the dvd's just to bash the film gives Pauls bosses more of a push to give him something else.
yet I care nothing for Alien films of this nature so whoever gets the job will affect me none, continue to cry and moan about the sequels on the internet and watch where it gets you. (Not directed at anyone but think about it)
I never look at who directs films I like until after I watch the film so really I would never care, I'll give anything a chance no matter how much it's bashed online. Though reading through reasons why people hate some films really shows they pay to much attention to the film making and not the film itself.
I really wish James Cameron would take on another film again. His last film was eight years ago when he did Titanic. I know he's doing the adaptation of Battle Angel Alita but that's going to be entirely in 3D and not everyone will be able to see it. I wish he would take on another Alien film, or better still, another Terminator film. Cameron would show them all how its done...
Now, the article does not say who the writer was, but, for the love of God, can it not be Paul Anderson?
There is just so much potential with this franchise. I think that Anderson could be kept on as director, but just have him stay away from his type writer. My opinion on where it should go?:
1.) Pretend the first one never happened. Start all over with fresh concepts and fresh characters.
2.) 20th Century Fox has got to back the fuck off. I'm no Anderson fan, but it is obvious that not every problem with the first was purely his fault. It had studio manipulation written all over it.
3.) Is an R rating really that much to ask for?
4.) Perhaps in this one, have the aliens and predators fight for more then ten minutes of screentime? Yes?
Again, I have to say that there is a good movie in this idea somewhere. Just a few slight changes, and it could at least be a great action/pop corn flick... and this is coming from a guy who actually liked "Alien: Resurrection." So, please Fox... don't fuck this one up.
Does it matter? They never have a full asnwer to these versus movies, Like Freddy vs. Jason they have that little cliff hanger ending where your not sure who won and you feel robbed of your 10 bucks.
Frankly it's a rigged match it's up to writers and producers which side wins. Usually it's the "Human sidE" who is the final one standing. We're getting caught up in this vs. craze. Why? Because the original series have outdone themselves and now we must find some new way to bring them back onto silver screen.
Would I love to see a new aliens movie? Yes if done right (but I doubt you'd get Ridley Scott or JAmes Cameron directing it , discluding the great David Fincher b/c I hated Alien 3, not his fault entirely though) Predator was never very good from the get go. All it managed to do was transform actors into politicians, you've got Arnold and JEsse ventura in it.
If you want to scratch your "Aliens" itch, you should read the unproduced script for Alien 3 by David Twohy (the guy who wrote "Pitch Black"). I don't know what they were thinking using the one they did. They must have been smoking crack.
It is the script they should have made -- still on a prison, but without all the religious mumbo-jumbo.
You can find it on this site. Check it out. Really. It kicks total ass.
AVP was somewhat boring when it should have felt like an epic film as it should be. Aliens and Predators oh my but we got smart killing machines who help the protagonist?
