Hmm. Will it be original Alien-y, or Prometheus Alien-y, I wonder?

It'll be "Ridley Scott is past-it-y" I'd wager

Crapy is my guess.

Drug fueled trips would be more exciting than a forum post i'd imagine.

Confirmed.

Ridley Scott confirms 'Blade Runner' and 'Alien' live-action shows

The legendary director revealed both are in active development while speaking to BBC radio news.

I would desperately love a Blade Runner show to be good but very much doubt it will be. Having said that, the Aliens show has the potential to be far, far worse.

 

[Darth Ender]

it sounds like the idea is going to more firmly root both aliens and blade runner in the same universe - albeit at different time periods and with probably little cross-over other than the world building.

 

[thistle]

I read the alien tv series was supposed to take place on Earth.

Yeah. Absolute disaster in the making. Don't do it.

Fun fact but also completely uninteresting: There was a spin-off to Blade Runner way back in 1998.

I also watched it many moons ago and while Kurt Russel barely spoke any words in it he imo still spoke far too much.

A film so bad it led to rumours Paul W. S. Anderson couldn't have been the real director on Event Horizon.

(a genuine claim btw, from some on the old aintitcoolnews)

Easily believable given his career is one tepid movie after another. He's lucky Even Horizon ever got released given its production woes.

Some things should be left alone, i remember watching the first Blade Runner on the big screen when it first came out, it was astonishing, not many films have ever been that atmospheric.
I thought 2049 would be a let down but actually it was decent.

2049 was far better than I dared hope, I actually thought it was a pretty great movie.

Likewise, I enjoyed it.

2049 was far better than I dared hope, I actually thought it was a pretty great movie.

It bored me and I spent most of the film screaming (in my head) 'DO SOMETHING... ANYTHING... PLEEEEEASE... JUST GET ON WITH IT...'

The mate I saw it with lurved it, so....

<whatever>

Prometheus is an odd film for me, in 2D I find it okay to borderline dull, yet in 3D I find it much better. Which seems odd because there are no overt 3D scenes in it.

Not unlike 'Dredd' (2012) - it's decent in 2D, better in 3D.

In fairness to 3D, nothing could have saved Alita: Battle Angel (for me), and I'm faintly amazed that the second half of the film has been given the green-light. I won't be watching it.

I'm still waiting for the final Star Wars movie of the last three we were supposed to get. Everyone I know seem to have seen something they think is it, but that just can't be right.

Disney is the devil...just saying.

I have the Razorback kit from The Mandalorian still sitting sealed from last year's chrimbo. And the Big Bang Theory set unopened as well from the year before that. My daughter would lose her absolute mind anytime I try building stuff without her, although she's almost seven now so can be "trusted to help".

(My favourite bit tho is my Lego Stephen Hawking)

Groovy. Lego remains cool.

These are not the films you are looking for....

Isn't Disney+ intending to haul out a number of long form stories including an Obi Wan "what I did on my holidays" number?
