ALIEN 5 is Fine by Scott

If only!!
Ridley, Sigourney and even James Cameron have been saying this kind of thing for years but AvP is the only thing to have become concrete. Blergh.

I would just hope that it takes place before the crapfest ALIEN RESURRECTION, in the time line.

How would that be possible? They cloned Riply once before the military did it? Don't think so, their only option is for it to take place after Resurrection. Besides, just because Resurrection wasn't that good doesn't mean the fifth one won't be better, especially if Scott is involved.

Yeah, but he's been sayig this since Resurrection came out, almost ten years ago.

Weren't they talking about setting Alien 5 on the Alien's home planet?

How would you know if it was the Alien's home planet? They pretty much "adopt" any planet they land on, and if they'd been on a planet for any amount of time, they'd be left with no new drones and all eggs sitting around.

Alien (Scott) was revolutionary, Aliens (Cameron) was more action less suspense, but still very very good.

How about a new revolution?

Ok for one, Resurection wasn't that bad, granted it wasn't as good as the original 3, but it was desent in its own right. For two, it would be quite possible to make a pre-resurection film, they are called prequils. Whatever happens if Weaver, Scott, and Camron are on board it will be pretty freaking awesome.

I didn't mind Res. Ripley was badass and Weaver played her well.

As for script ideas.. I had this nutty pitch set a few more hundreds of years in the future, where the Aliens had formed a symbiosis with humanity and would be involved as an allied element, rather than the main threat.

I know it sounds pointless, but I put a lot of thought into the back story, and how the universe of Alien had reached this point.

It would seem that a prequel would not have Sigourney. There have been ideas about when the aliens get to Earth for years and rumors about finding the aliens original world too. There are always possible connections with the predators as well no matter what you thought of that AvP prequel. Most logically it would take place after Resurrection, but you never know and with the right people together they should be able to come up with some original and cool. I like all of these films to varying degrees, but Alien and Aliens are the only ones I really got excited about and for very different reason. They are also the only ones that I bothered with extended versions of, so it wouldn't bother me if we ignored all continuity other than those two.
