I’m still waiting for the film of Haldeman’s Forever War Ridley Scott was going to do

that would be incredible, Forever War was a great book

re: Ridley Scott making another Alien franchise movie: if he is doing it because he really wants to do the movie then that is great; if he is doing it for business reasons to make money, that is not so great

I loved Forever War, but I don’t think it would make a great film. It needs space to breathe. A 8-hour limited series, on the other hand…

The issue is, these stories are kinda … He’s not making them up from scratch he’s interpreting

It's a money manking franchise. It could be good, since Prometheus was quite ok. Although Covenant was trashy.

Alien and Aliens were good. Alien 3 and Resurrection was abysmal and the Alien Earth seies had 2 good episodes. The rest were meh.

I liked Prometheus so much that I purchased the movie.

The first was classic, but Prometheus is my favorite.

I can’t wait for the Alien / Blade Runner crossover prequel where we find out Tyrell was Weyland’s long lost Dad.

And the black goop in Prometheus is actually made from Midi-Chlorians.

I never made that bad sequel connection before but you’re right. Both movies explain the unexplained with more unexplainable goops.

Hard disagree. Even though both movies had their issues, there is a lot of interesting directions the 3rd movie could go.
