The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

...or has it?

Three inch Aliens in an 'Alien ant farm'? :o
Hand to hand combat between a man and a cat Alien? :|
A homosexual encounter? :shock:


Jon Spaihts is known to be writing the script. Somebody posted a PDF of said script on IMDB (so it must be true :lol: ) which claims to be written by him.
ALIEN HARVEST. I've attached it here using the AL attachment feature which will make Gareth happy 8)

There is some interesting debate on the authenticity of this script on the IMDB forum:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/boa ... 630554?p=1

I've read it and it's barking mad.
What do you think? Could it be real? Discuss...
...or disgust?

After Vincent Ward's 'wooden planet and monks' script for Alien 3 that as I understand it, Fox liked :shock: , I'm guessing anything's possible :mrgreen:

I'm not a fan, I really don't like what they did. It really is Brokeback Mountain meets... Star Trek almost. <<shrugs>> I hope this isn't it...

Sounds a lot like the novrel 'Alien Harvest'.
Doctor has a robot alient hat is able to go into the hives and steal the royal jelly.
He also has a tiny ant robot that captures it all on tape.

Gold plated turd me hopes...and prays.....and begs!!

Cameron strikes again. As much as I love ALIENS he should have never compared them to bugs. They are bio-machines.

That script is as bad as Avatar. :)

Fox should green light it then, because bad scripts these days seem to do really well.

I'm sure Fox wont scoff at getting another $2,244,696,832 + :roll:

It doesn't seem very reverential to the Alien and nothing really seems to happen in it.

That goes without saying, surely?

It would make an interesting large-scale fan-film. But... needs more Alien-love. :)

I don't know that I'd call it a glorified fanfic . . seemed rather weak for that too.

When they want scripts, why don't they go to the biggest fans??!!

Because 'biggest fan' doesn't always mean best screenwriter.

Besides, they have to appeal to the masses who haven't neccesarily seen all the movies and learned all the background - Hence things like AVP.

Oftentimes, I've fancied myself a writer or something and I do actually have some great ideas for some movies... but reading my own attempts at actually writing novels and screenplays, it becomes clear I am nothing more than just another gushing fanboy and should best leave the writing to people like Ridley!!

Ever seen the Dungeons & Dragons movie?
Case in point.


However, there are some folks here who are good writers, so I see nothing wrong if they wanna submit some scripts. I'd sincerely wish them the best of luck if they did - That would be a very cool thing to happen!!

Paul W.S. Anderson, Colin Strause and Greg Strause are big fans of the films and look at the mess they did.. :shock:

Not that they should ever be mentioned in the same physical space...but when I worked on (pardon my language) CLOVERFIELD they generated a terrific DISINFORMATION campaign up to and including the location signs. Any ALIEN-related project should be able to exert heavy control ala WAR OF THE WORLDS (where papparazzi in the shrubbery at Universal was their worst problem0. If you screw up after you sign a NDA and they find you...you will be raked over the legal coals. Studios don't take kindly to piracy of any sort.

Yeah but weren't the guy who wrote AVP a fan? And didn't he also do Event Horizon or something like that??

Reeks is just the right word. It's still listed as 'in Development' with a (2011) date attached (the last update on IMDb Pro was June '09 so who knows?) It could still be in treatment/outline form and I would imagine the death of Dan O'Bannon earlier this year caused them to possibly rethink their approach. I hope they keep it completely under wraps.

Fake, to throw people off the scent, and perhaps to pick up the scent from the fans. Consumer canvasing.

I'm praying Willie's right and this ones a fake.

Otherwise I'm gonna go vomit now...


My only problem is everyone realizes that they'll probably do their best to tie EVERYTHING together, including AvP and AvP:R...
