Righting wrongs and re-writing history: Blomkamp Directed Alien Movie Will Ignore Alien 3 and Resurrection to give a fresh reboot and better conclusion to the ‘Ellen Ripley’ story, with Blomkamp saying “I want this film to feel like it’s literally the genetic sibling of Aliens.” A must watch???
Plenty of film series have left movie-goers disappointed, unsatisfied or just plain confused. With sequel after sequel, spin-off after spin-off, inconsistent budgets and possibly new behind the scenes people on every project, continuity in Hollywood becomes a problem if not an afterthought. News that the Blomkamp Directed Alien Movie Will Ignore Alien 3 and Resurrection is a pleasant interruption to the status quo:
“In an interview with Sky News (during a promotional tour for Blomkamp’s upcoming sci-fi flick Chappie), Blomkamp and Sigourney Weaver revealed that they intend to give Ripley a “proper finish” – one the pair don’t think was achieved in Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection.”
The Blomkamp Directed Alien Movie Will Ignore Alien 3 and Resurrection, as you read with the support of featured star-legend Sigourney Weaver who notes “I would love to take Ripley out of orbiting around in space, and give a proper finish to her story.” Blomkamp is not only doing it to repair the drifting story line, but to recapture a seemingly lost element in horror sci-fi film–particularly the “Jaws in space” concept the series carried out originally.
“It’s a Freudian nightmare. That element to me is what is so appealing,” said Blomkamp. “To try to put the audience on the edge of their seat, in a traditional ‘monster stalking you in a dark corridor way”.
Blomkamp Directed Alien Movie Will Ignore Alien 3 and Resurrection so movie-goers should head into theaters with this in mind, “it’s Alien, Aliens, then this movie.” Blomkamp is also the engine behind District 9, Elysium, and the new sci-fi action film Chappie. Will you be seeing this?
