Alien 5 - Oct 10, 2006 - 05:42pm
I read a script on the net that was said to be James Camerons "Alien 5" beginning, made in 2003. The intro of the film begins with rapid clips from Alien 3 and Res, fading into a new dream sequence where Riply faces the alien queen, hearing Newt screaming for help somewhere in the distance. She wakes up from hyper sleep only to see that everyone is just fine, except for Bishop who according to Hicks will have to get "new boots". And the first thing she asks Hicks to do is to scan the computers log of her in transit histograms, which shows she has no alien in her. It´s just the opening sequence but I never thought disregarding 3 and Res a hypersleep dreams would ever work, but it really does, made the right way. Events from these two movies could still be essential for decisions and character change for Ripley. So no matter who wrote that beginning it´s perfect for saving the damage made by "alien 3". The if they want to go on with Scott and Weaver´s vision of the "alien home planet" why not, it could be great. That way Camerons characters (especially the ONLY logical future herione Newt) are saved, and the story can finally take a leap forward. I´m only hoping Cameron will make this happen, together with Scott and Weaver. I do belive that´s what most fans want.
