Sweet! I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for the heads-up!

Got a link? You mean this is an in-production TV series based on the Alien 1979 film?

Hmm... pretty sketchy. I hope it's a go. Certainly could work with the tech available these days.

But it can't just be a show around the first Alien movie, that wouldn't work. I'd love to see them blend it all together, the alien movies and Prometheus. That could be really cool.

I read about this a few months ago in a bunch of articles here.

Honestly, after Alien and Aliens, which I believe are not just two of the best horror movies. But two of the best movies ever. And Aliens is a lesson in how to handle a sequel. I thought the only movie after that in the series would be a how did the crashed ship get to the planet story. And after a handful of poor movies we still don't have that story. Prometheus was going to be that story before it was changed in the end.

I want to play the Alien Isolation game which I keep hearing is good. And recently I watched some of the Alien 3 Extended Edition. I was going to start a topic on who likes Alien 3. But I stopped watching it as I hate the premise. I while back I read a story that said as executive told the director that he could film him using the bathroom on the wall and it would still be called an Alien movie. So it's a corporate property that keeps going with poor stories.

Agreed. I hope it includes the themes of all the films. Alien is a completed idea, I wouldn't see any sense of 'drawing it out', so to speak. Prometheus and Covenant were intriguing, but unsatisfying in the sense I think too many subjects were shortchanged.

You should, it's easily the best thing outside of the first two movies.
Such an authentic love letter to the series.
Totally fucks with you though, on a level that few horror/thriller type games ever do.
I'm hoping we get a real sequel one day.
