Not convinced they can pull something like this off but we can only wait and see as at the end of the day it's not even filming yet (afaik) so you can't form ANY kind of realistic opinion!

The part i've highlighted in yellow really worries me
Why it'll just mean it'll be rubbish in 3D just watch it in 2d.
Just hope it has an 18 rating. If it is anything else it will be rubbish and it may well be rubbish anyway. I'll still watch it and give it a go though.
Some interesting news here... http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45454
Basically to sum up, both prequels are written, they'll be grounded in realistic sci-fi concepts and the space jockey is actually....wait for it...an exoskeleton or some kind of suit for a creature inside.

Space Jockey is very organic like the aliens themselves, i wouldnt be surprised if there's some giant reveal in the movie like they created the aliens or are a more evolved version of them....although if Scott goes down the whole Resurrection route with some alien hybrid i may just kill myself...again.

I heard of one called Alien 3, which was OK as fan made efforts go. There was also someone who tried to cash in with a parody called Alien: Resurrection, but that was awful even by those standards.

The Space Jockey will sound like he's just stepped off the banana boat and be very clumsy.

Well, speaking as someone who enjoyed all the alien movies, yes I'll agree 4 was very weak but still enjoyable, I am greatly looking forward to this, I love Scott as a director and honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. New concepts, new ideas, new information, always good.
Also a question, how exactly is the Space Jockey being an exoskeleton bad? In the grand scheme of things it makes no difference anyway.

I dont like the idea of the film to be honest. Alien is a pure classic and it should stay that way. To actually be heralded as a good film, this new movie will have to literally compete with aliens in the eyes of fans globally. Quite a tall order even for scott to be fair.
I'd have much prefered to seen a back to grass roots style alien film which is purely aimed at 18 only and to be utterly brutal in portraying the alien as what it actually is. This could have been what actually happens to the colonists before the events of aliens. So the company telling them to look at the grid reference like in aliens uncut, going to the ship (like in aliens uncut) then the building of the barracades and how the rest of the aliens get into the colony etc.
Final short of the dropship landing at the end of such a film would have been truly epic.
The first two films did this really well and you really got the sense of dread in both films. I enjoyed the third film and liked the idea of it, although the effects wasn't as good as niether was some of the acting sadly. The fourth film was truly abysmal and I thought AVP was dumbed down way too much for the audience it should have appealed to.

You take that back! There's no way anyone wants Bladerunner cheapened to a franchise!

Looks like the premise of being an Alien prequel has been canned...
Soldato
Did someone kill your pet puppy recently as you seem to be awfully negative, just a general analysis, not a dig.
I like Ridley Scott and his directing and think this will be at least on par.

No way -- you can't do a Blade Runner without Rutger Hauer and a younger Harrison Ford it would be Sacrilege
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die."
One of the most classic lines in a film. imo of course .
Soldato
I'm pleased, IMO the graphic novels did a decent job of the Space Jockey thing and the Alien universe should be left alone!
Soldato
Ho ho! You mean peeps a-gonna die?

So I guess Prometheus is going to be completed before he gets round to completing The Forever War?
