I was reading over the Sci-Fi Channel site when I saw a story on there about movie posters for movies sequels they would like to see. Among them was this entry:
Quote:
Aliens: The Colony
What It Is: The Alien franchise returns to the scene of its most successful outings—planetoid LV-426. We see the colonists of Hadley's Hope, including Newt's family, as they fight for survival while elements of the Weyland-Yutani Corp. seek to exploit the xenomorphs in the derelict alien ship for their own ends.
Why We Want It: Depending on your opinion of Alien 3, it's been either 23 or 17 years since someone's told a compelling story in the universe Ridley Scott created with his 1979 film. The time is ripe for it to be reclaimed from crappy vs. Predator movies and comic books.
Who Could Do It: The key here is to rescue the aliens from the PG-13 action shlockfests in which they've appeared recently, and to make them grotesque and SCARY again. Swedish director Tomas Alfredson, whose Let the Right One In is one of the creepier films of the past year, could really bring across the dread of an isolated colony being eaten from the inside.
Here's a link to the full article.
Yeah I love their comment about rescuing the franchise from 'crappy' comic books... by utilising a story well told in one!!!
