Alien Prequel Wishlist

[Pred Killer]

Now that it's confirmed, what are your wishes for this upcoming film?

Here's some of mine:

- Bring back the feel of A L I E N.
- Less action, more horror.
- Go with the whole 'less is more' approach that Ridley captured in the original.
- Get Giger back.
- Possibly explore an Alien Hive World.
- What about a rogue jockey silently killing off people, yet it is almost never seen because it dwells in the shadows?
- If the Alien / Jocky world is discovered, it should be portrayed with some of the most berserk Giger artwork.



- Since this is set in the past, no Sigourney Weaver, please.
- The overall setting IMO should be a dark sinister wasteland with Giger feel to it.

- If they are going to make a world where theres was once LOTS of Space Jockey Giger MUST be involved. If not it should not be allowed.
- R. Scott said he was going to recreate the Xeno... I do not like this idea much. Maybe make a Space Jockey born Xeno or some exotic born Xeno but please do not recreate it.

More action, more bugs, more technology. No newt or Ripley-esque characters.

Bugs... how can you use that word to describe something as deadly and unstoppable as the Alien?

I'm not looking for action myself, mainly horror/thriller. Oh, and if they must include the Space Jockies, name them something cool, like the Necronomicons, and make them heavily designed by Giger, no ADI bs, and possibly have them in different 'forms' like the flood from Halo, different perverse concepts, makes for more interesting plot and effects.

[Chris!(($$))!]

Fact = If they want to try and include Xeno "Homeworld", SJ Homeworld or the SJs them self Giger MUST be the one behind it working his magic.

I personally do not want to see too much of the SJs. For me they still remain the biggest mystery in the films. I certainly would like to see an SJ born Xeno which should be the greatest and most perfect off all Xenos if the Space Jockeys did indeed create the Xenos.

I am serenely hoping they do not make the Jockies/Necros the origins of the Xenos, I'm hoping they merely 'found' the Xenos and used their biology to make technology so advanced that it fused biology and mechanics to make biomechanics, and thus form the foundation of the giger-esque landscape which makes up most of 'Argis' (my name for their homeplanet, play on words originating from 'Argwelt' similar to the german word 'arg Welt' meaning 'bad or evil world'.) thus why Giger should do most of the designs for the environment. I also think they should get Trent Reznor to do the SFX, maybe even for the creatures, Aliens/Necros or SJ I call them Necros or Biomechanoids, cause of their organic mechanical appearance.

If the Biomechanoids are introduced, they should make it to where they have like guns or weapons of some sort augmented into them, and there should be different subclasses, like short fat ones or tall skinny ones, or the big fat ones in chairs which would act as starship captains, or Anti Air cannon operators, possibly have one shoot a human ship out of the air, have them stranded on the planet/Argis. But if they do introduce them they should be like what I described, with a dark, sinister feel to them, like something that came straight out of hell, or the darkest corner, insane, part of your mind, even more frightening than the Alien/Xenomorph itself.

If they make it to where the Biomechanoids simply 'found' or 'stumbled upon' the Xenomorphs on some barren world, it would keep with their mysteriousness... however much of it has been lost over the past years.

They're deadly, but far from unstoppable. Pulse rifles kill them; hence they're bugs not the baddass supervillains made of nightmares. Besides, there is something scary about a horde of fast movers compared to a slow avoidable menace. Look at the move from Romero to 28 Days zombies. Fast is frightening.

As a species I think its safe to say the Xenos are unstoppable. As an individual Xeno then yes they are very stoppable if you are prepared.

[Pred Killer]

The original concept of the Alien creature was made out to be something you cannot escape, something nearly unstoppable, from the depths of your insanity fragments of your mind. They were never meant to be 'bugs', but then Cameron came along and raped the masterpiece that Giger and Ridley had created, it was supposed to be something that was almost a manifestation of each of the seven sins, lust mainly, but also wrath, greed, gluttony, sloth, pride, and even Envy. Lust being it's sexual overtones, how it lives to reproduce, and spread it's kind, wrath is pretty self-explanatory, greed-how it seeks to consume all in it's path, gluttony-it's voracious hunger, sloth-the way it moves, that sleek, graceful movement, pride-relates to how it consumes all in it's path and seeks to be the dominant race over man, and Envy-I'm sure it holds some form of grudge against those who mess with it, like the pilots, and humans. All in all, it was supposed to be the ultimate killing machine, or the 'perfect organism', while being far from perfect, it is still absent of all emotion, killing without mercy, without fear, without regret. Basically not a simply space insect.

I disagree. As a species, getting off a planet is enough to stop them.
