Calling all fans of the "Alien" moviesCalling all fans of the "Alien" moviesI wasn't even aware that it was out yet, but the new Special Edition for the X-Men movie ("X-Men 1.5") apparently has a brochure inside with this little surprise...
[EDIT: the server that hosted the image has removed it. I will try to find a new one. -g] No specs as of yet, but a nine disc set means two discs per film and another for whatever they can drum up. Gary (No, really. Is "Quadrilogy" a word?)

Dammit, I HATE it when they do this! I go out and buy the "box set" of a series like this, and then a year later, they come out with a freakin' better one! GRRR!
I wasted $30 on that Star Wars Episode I widescreen VHS crap, because "We are not going to release Episode I on DVD." And what do they do, a year later, they release it on dvd. Freakin hell... ![]() ![]() "Your imagination, like a child, will explode with unrestrained possibilities for adventure."
I know what you mean. I already have the Alien Legacy set, plus the mail-away fifth disc, so hearing about a nine disc set makes me wonder what they have up their sleeve to fill the set.
Possibilities: New cuts of each film, either separately or by using seamless branching, integrating deleted or alternate scenes. The movie I'd love to see this used for is the third film. A work print exists that supposedly improves upon the final cut, and leans towards Fincher's original ideas. The Giger Alien documentary, narrated by Giger, where he explains the designs for the Alien, the pilot, face hugger and so on. I have this on tape and I love it. Solid production material. Not fluff. Not just the original EPK stuff. I'm talking about Episode I "The Beginning"-style material. Seriously immersive. It can be done. A look into the aborted "Alien versus Predator" and "Alien 5" films. This may never happen as both films are always on the cusp of being put into pre-production (the former more than the latter). Screenplays, early drafts, writer's notes - and not via the web. ON the disc. Okay, that part will never happen, but I can dream... I really don't have the cash for this, the more I think about it. We'll see. Gary p.s. It only just dawned on me that the artwork is a "Q" with an "A" inside - Alien Quadrilogy. Damn, I'm slow... ![]()
setHey,
Pretty cool, except I really didn't like the third movie. The fourth was okay. So unless the extras really kick but, I think I will pass on this one. Best, Lance Man
I might procure the new Alien box set. I only have one and two on tapes I made from HBO. So, it will be a great chance to boost my DVD inventory. I'm only at 45 DVDs. I started late. Maybe I procrastinated?

Patty: If Rayanne's not seeing you, and we're not seeing you, who is seeing you? Graham: And how much of you? Angela: Dad! Graham: Oh, I'm sorry! I asked a question about your life, didn't I? Woah, what came over me? http://www.last.fm/user/TomSpeed/ I LOVE the Alien Series (except the 4th one).
Did I read somewhere that there was a 5th movie the pipeline where the Aliens reached earth? Or did I dream about that? I'll definitely be saving my cash for this as I'd love the Extras and although I have the VHS (directors cut where poss) I'd love DVD even more. YAY! Thanks for the heads up! ![]() --------------------------------------------- http://www.urban-hills.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------- First step is admitting you have a problem. The second step is getting a large raise to support your habit ![]() I am right there with you, ohhh, shiny! Best, Lance Man There were rumors about a fifth movie since 1997, but it got very silent in the past years. Check http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/alien5.html for details. AliensHey all,
Anybody know if there are plans for more Aliens movies? I have heard rumors of a Alien vs Predator movie. Anyone know anything about that one? Best, Lance Man Just as Sascha mentioned, the proposed fifth film, which would have continued the story started in "Alien Resurrection", has been stalled for years.
The AvP film, which could conceivably star either Ah-nold or Weaver as the unlucky human in the middle, has also been a dead project. Budgets, they say. But who knows? The release of this box set could be used as a gague to see just how much "Alien" has left in it in terms of popularity, which can then be translated as a reason to make one. If it sells like hot cakes, Fox could easily say that A5 is back in pre-production (though that could mean nothing more than phone calls or script reviews).
