Alien, Predator, AvP (news)

[oktay]

The show's creator has specifically said that they will be doing their own story that ignores Prometheus and Covenant.

I read it.

First clip from Noah Hawley’s #AlienEarth seriesReleasing this Summer on Hulu

Keeping that 70s vibe, I see.

Looks great, but why would the forehead reflection be flipped?

 

[Caretaker]

I would rather not see Alien ending up going down the Batman route or becoming something like the mess that is Halloween. Where you just choose to ignore some of the preexisting movies but not others.

I believe that is called "Highlandering" things.

 

[JD]

Now that more footage is starting to come out, I'm getting optimistic that this could be pretty good.

 

[Mage]

So, that clip actually looked pretty good!!

Love the look. I hope the story is strong and not just played for gore.
Funny how Sci-Fi shows can maintain their visual continuity for decades but S'Trek had to be redesign the lot.

Ironic that Star Trek changed its visual continuity drastically the year the first Alien movie came out.

How? XD

 

[Steve Roby]

Watch TOS -- for example, "Errand of Mercy" -- then watch TMP and get back to me.

There is time, use of practical effects and budget. The original series is a 60s TV series made with the budget of a 60s TV series. TMP is a big budget 'feature film' visual language and the narration is in 'cinema' language. The first film was shot for 44 million dollars at that time, that money is now 192 million dollars.

how did tmp change errand? (the word is continuity, right? maybe you mean something else instead of continuity...)

PREDATOR: BADLANDS does a first in the franchise in that we actually see yautja hunt alien beasts and other foes on wildly bizarre planets. The main yautja is seen taking on a giant ass kaiju-beast all by himself. Lots of new tech on display. Looks fucking awesome.

 

[StarTrek1701]

Hindsight is always 20/20 but I always wondered why didn't they get John Colicos to reprise as a Klingon in TMP. Mark Lenard was cool, but Colicos could have been cooler.

AvP 2004 called, they want their script back.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Was thinking the same thing. And that exact same plot line came from an early series run of the original Dark Horse AvP comic book.

 

[Tosk]

I hope we get a proper Predator face again. Stop trying to re-invent the wheel, ya'll.

I know right? We saw it on screen, twice actually. Once in AvP, once in The Predator.
And the hero Predator's actions in the latter didn't make any sense.
He wants to gift humans his Pred-Iron-Man suit, but he keeps killing anyone in his path.

I hope we get a proper Predator face again. Stop trying to re-invent the wheel, ya'll.

Agreed 100%. Anytime's face should be the standard, stop adding stuff to it.
