This movie looks like it's gonna fucking dope!

It had better be. A lot is riding on this prequel to Alien.

Ridley Scott is directing which is a plus point and who better to invest in the Alien mythos than the man who brought it to the screen originally? Minuses? He hasn't made a really top class film in years. Will it really tie into the original Alien film and expand the the concept or is it just another cash in?

I really hope it works.

wasn't even aware it was a cannon prequel, i thought it was just a "spiritual successor" if you will.

That makes me real happy. Hopefully some of the original screenwriting talent from the series is involved

it is not a direct sequel.....but then ending will make fans of the original (Alien) very happy

Have you seen it?

bob. · 05-09-2012, 08:25 PM

no....but i've been reading about it for the last couple of months

and pretty much every review says basically that "although not a direct sequel the last 12 minutes will make fans of Alien jump for joy"

to be honest the preview makes me jump for joy.....i will be at the first showing on june 8th in sparks nv for anybody who ants to join me

i feel like it is going to explain why the craft was there.....but not why or where the "Aliens" came from (which could lead into a direct sequel....which Scott has been talking about for some time now

)

i've watched Alien twice in the last month to prepare myself for this

Ah OK, I'm going to need to reacquaint myself with Alien before I see this too I think. As things stand I'm still looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises more.

sneer you don't even want to get me started about Dark knight Rises....i'll have to change my pants again

Prometheus is a very close second for my excitement this summer.....and to be honest even if it did not have the obvious Alien connection two things sell me on this as being one of the best movies of the year 1) Ridley Scott 2) doing sci-fi = sold
