Alien TV series filming halted
does anyone even care? Are normies worried about their shows or has t.v just become background noise for phonegayging?
I care. Aliens was my favourite movie as a kid, and after Fargo, then Legion, Howley, with Disney's budget, could have made my favourite show ever. It could have also been shit, or now FX could be sold.
I think Disney has put enough money into this that its likely to resume filming whenever the actors strike is over. Alien is one of the largest non-comic book franchise IPs they got when they bought Fox so they'd be dumb to not try to exploit it Imho
Lmao pathetic
Fargo and Legion are great
Frick off homosexual, Legion is so far above the quality of any other capeshit, especially marvel, that's its a whole different genre, capekino.
From what I can gather most normies miss their favorite show but aren't overly invested in anything new being put on hold, which makes sense I guess.
I find this case interesting because there was a lot of talk from the production that this specific show wouldn't be impacted by the strikes because it only had British actors, but now there is a sympathy strike from Britain I guess so the production got btfo
>but now there is a sympathy strike from Britain
lol what is with the british? It's just like with blm they see shit happening in the US and then they feel left out so they start their own problems.
Generally its because people feel they need to help out, in terms of unions its a pretty common thing to sympathy strike
Why would the american executives care? If foreign competition shuts down that's good for them right?
Its bad press and American companies work with foreign ones a lot in todays market
Not saying I know if its actually effective or not but its the reasoning
Okay thanks that actually helps.
> Equity performers have been told that they risk being sued for breach of contract if they walk off set in solidarity with American colleagues.
So, no sympathy strike. And the cast has SAG actors. They were shooting around them.
Nothing matters. Modern media is just a garbage pile endlessly being filled while seagulls filled with swine shit their opinions between the layers of trash. Nothing matters nothing remains but an endless stream.
There is tons of great stuff out there, you're just a dumbass who expects mainstream popcorn shit to be deep
Can you send some recommendations my way?
I can no longer care about Alien after Prometheus and Covenant destroyed the lore
I don't understand this, you can just ignore them, just like they ignored the AvP films
>I can no longer care about Alien after Covenant destroyed the lore
Ftfy
Prometheus ruined the mystery of the space jockey, which is way worse than David making knock off xenomorphs
This. Same for star wars. Its as if the people who made the originals never really understood why they caught the imagination so much.
Star Wars is only special because it was the first of its kind. Its the most basic story of all time but with special effects and scale not seen in the sci-fi genre ever before. This is easy to see in terms of box office for the sequel trilogy, places that had nostalgia for the old films went and saw the new ones, countries where no such appreciation existed didn't care about the new films even after massive marketing from Disney.
The mythos worked tho, ancient mysteries, mudhuts and spaceships, jedi were a blend of kwai chang caine and the man with no name. Then it turns out theyre just hill street blues in space and got infected with force germs.
Films arent the result of the single vision of an individual, Scott and Lucas were not the single reasons those original movies turned out great. And even if they were, they're very different people than the ones they were when those films were made.
I can no longer care about Alien after Aliens destroyed the lore
Aliens did it, the prequels have much better lore.
Good.
Not a fan of Howley, or are you just union strong?
i don't know who Howley is but i'm tired of kinos being made into TV
Why would it be worse than a new film?
The filler they need to stretch the 2hr production into minimum 8 hrs. How have you not realized this?
Thats no different than the eternal stream of sequels that are the norm to anything successful these days
I know, that needs to stop too. Honestly this strike is a blessing in the skies.
Frick you and your weird goblin ears, Jocko. We need one more decent Alien release before the series is dead forever.
Nothing as iconic as Alien is ever going to die, at worst its going to end up like Texas Chainsaw and be endlessly rebooted with one shitty film after the other
He may be a hack but I still wish Blomkamp's film had happened
He's the exact guy who should be off making the first full AI generated movie with his Oats Studio gang. And A5 should be it. Just scrub the serial numbers off like Zack Spyder is doing with Star Wars. The continuing adventures of Ridley, Zoot, Nicks and Pope after the strange events on HT-537 fighting the deadly Xenoids.
Good
Let it all burn
This will be subversive bugman slop and act like Ridley doesn't exist and psyop people into believing the aliens are a representation of white men being le evil. Thanks, mr. Berg. Top notch commentary.
>angry about something he made up in his head
Come on dude you know this will be pozzed. They don't like the fact Ripley was a 'strong' female character not by their insane standards and thus view the franchise throught this insane lens and will subvert it. It's all they know. They don't know about story or character. They are not writers. They are useful idiots, even the ones who make 'good' content. That's all they are. Look at the cast, nothing but FotM zoomer actors and the whole thing will be some gay zoomer angst shit with an alien popping up and then being defeated in a stunning and brave way.
>made up problem
Just awoke from a 20 year long coma, anon?
It's being produced by Cameron.
Probably for the best. Hawley has a pozzed agenda and he talked as such about his series. It would probably have better elements than the movie planned by that other terrible director, but he would inject a lot of snowflake soiy pus into it.
If Alien or Aliens came out today I can only imagine what this board would have to say about them
>Uh.... what did Ash mean by this???
>This movie is saying all white men are rapists and only a brave black man can do anything about it
That poster alone makes me think it's a good thing.
I don't think its actually official
go woke
go broke
The strike is anti-woke now?
Nta but tbf the strike is acting as a hollywood diaper.
I dont see how
Stopping all the shit the bluehairs usually come up with leaking out.
Thats moronic, it stops pretty much anything except A24 films from being made
The problem with alien was also its biggest strength: gigers design. The reveal of the alien lifecycle and its physical forms can really only be done once.
Cameron had the right idea for aliens, to bin the jump scare horror and go for survival action. Now you have space marines vs giger aliens, 2 things everyone agrees are fricking awesome. How the actual frick do you mess up sequels after that?
The fourth did one thing right, which was putting Winona Ryder in it.
The whole cast for Resurrection was good, it was just the script that was so shit no ones acting could save their characters
I love Alien 3
I remain undetered
As morons do.
What is this clip from?
Danger 5
>the sexual way she dies
This show was incomprehensibly based, I still don't understand how it got made.
Me too, me too. There's nothing wrong with it other than some bad effects.
>BUT MUH SLOW BURN AND LE ATMOSPHERE
These things, as you said, are done once and only once. Cameron had the right idea indeed and it was a roaring success and a classic. This other anon also had a great if risky idea: ditch the xenomorph and invent some other creature to be the 'alien' like an anthology of monsters. It's a risk but better than the current trajectory of the franchise.
Progression should have been:
>Alien: alien vs space truckers
>Aliens: aliens vs space grunts who dont know what to expect
>Aliens 2: aliens vs space SAS who do know what to expect
That sounds terrible, why would you want to make the aliens seem defeatable, that ruins any horror
Escalation. Theyre not up against a single alien or a nest, but a whole space station full or similar, and it turns out the aliens weve seen so far are their equivalent of explorers and colonists, now we get to see the soldiers.
Escalation like that just makes it end up bloated eventually. Terrible road to go down. It worked with Aliens but that doesnt mean it would have been great to continue that as a trend.
good
Good. Hopefully, it gets cancelled. Frick Disney.
Isn't this supposed to be set on Earth? I'm much more interested in Alien: Romulus.
When I heard it was set on earth I was hoping for a full-scale alien infestation of earth, and a post-apoc twd style show, but seeing as its a prequel to the original, I can't see that happening.
Not interested in either. Both will just be more non-canon trash
>striking to solve the bonus situation
they're ngmi
there exists only one sequel to the Alien as far as I'm concerned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEAqcB-oeeM
>not Alien 2: On Earth
