The Alien films are really horrible aren’t they? For a start, look at Alien itself. What a horrible creature. Imagine that hanging off your light shade. Imagine trying to kill it with a rolled up newspaper. It would probably stick some pointy bit of itself in your guts and pull them out before slowly urinating corrosive acid on your face bones.
If that sounds grim, it’s got nothing on what Sir Ridley Scott has in store for us.
He’s revealed that when the new Alien prequels hit the screen, we should expect to be dry-heaving all the way through them and actually wishing we were dead as opposed to enduring the horrors of what unfold on-screen.
The two new 3D Alien films that are being lined up will be delving into the history the horrible creature, set in the year 2058, which is a full 30 years before Ripley first wished she’s never set eyes on the bloody thing.
Talking to The Independent, Scott said that the new films are going to be darker and nastier.
Scott says:
“The film will be really tough, really nasty. It's the dark side of the moon. We are talking about gods and engineers. Engineers of space. And were the aliens designed as a form of biological warfare? Or biology that would go in and clean up a planet?”
All this is presumably an attempt to make cinema goers remember why they liked Alien in the first place after the reputation of it was so badly damaged by the dreadful Alien Vs Predators movies.
Basically, he’s watched the new Batman films and thought to himself – DARKER! GRIMMER! MORE VIOLENCE!
