And lets not gets started on Alien 4 Resurrection and the AVP Aliens vs Predator movies, I don't know how they could make a good Alien 5, I hear that Ridley Scott is making a Prequel

[TulseLuper]

It was strange but it would've done something truly interesting with the franchise. I love the idea of the monks thinking the alien was Satan, and thinking Ripley was a sign from God about sexual temptation. Too bad the studio got cold feet because Alien3 was a disaster of a film (Though not Fincher's fault.)

[JOELFOSTERX]

It was basicly about monks who lived on a planet made out of wood, Ripley crash lands there, everone else Hicks, Newt & Bishop all die in the crash, an Alien escapes and causes havoc, the idea was strange but kinda cool.

[TulseLuper]

It's unfair as well because his script has almost nothing to do with the final product.

[JOELFOSTERX]

I can't believe the hate that this guy gets just because he wrote the story for Alien 3 which not many people liked
