No, it does not need Sigourney Weaver to be an alien movie. It needs the Giger Alien, that\’s it. A good plot-line would help too.

How about Fox make both of them and may the best – Man…wait…alien win. Must have Sigourney Weaver or not really An alien movie. since it is about money…what makes them think that one will negatively impact the other? Ok. who out there would go see one and not the other if they were both released at around the same time?

@davids cat, i totally agree blade runner is overrated and alien is just a horror film, it\’s amazing how many dweebs (to coin a phrase from mark) fawn over those movies. In my opinion the only truly decent films he\’s ever made were american gangster and black hawk down the latter being very good in my opinion, but what do i know my taste probably isn\’t refined enough for the indiewire crowd or mark the art critic and part time internet tough guy. In response to the article the title sounds stupid and any movie that needs 3 writers and isn\’t finished while going into production in a couple of months is going to be bad, at least it sounds like the odds are stacked against it, then again the fact that the first one wasn\’t that good means it\’s already got a mountain to climb so maybe they don\’t care and this is just a money grab

@ mark you sound like a pretentious internet tough guy who would soil himself if he spoke to anybody like that in real life. Seeing as taste is subjective why don\’t you fill us in on what the art of cinema is nob chops

@david you should really end your posts with "in my opinion". The guy has just made the highest grossing picture of his career with the martian, helmed a best picture winner with gladiator (a film i notice every basement dwelling specky four eyed nerd on the internet seems to loath) and was also nominated for best director for that movie along with thelma and louise and black hawk down, he also won best debut film at cannes for the duellists. None of these movies happen to be called alien or blade runner. But it seems to be a running thing now for people to write off everything he did after those two movies. Personally i think alien is great for a slasher in space movie and blade runner is hugely overrated but that\’s just my opinion, bottom line being there not that goddamn great it\’s just nostalgia goggles from the same type of people that insist everything that gets made today is crap.

Despite being responsible for two brilliant masterpieces (blade runner and alien) scott is an average director at best. No wonder he keeps returning to alien

Apparently the only film related news these days is Ridley Scott and his Prometheus follow up. And I\’m pretty sure all he\’s talked about during The Martian press tour is Prometheus 2. Or Paradise. Or Aliens: Paradise Lost. Or Aliens: Covenant. Stupid, stupid title.
