Michael Sarnoski is being eyed for the Alien Romulus sequel but when does making a franchise “love letter” become a necessary evil to progress a franchise?
I mean, a very small portion of Alien Romulus progressed the franchise further.
Why bring in more people to just try to make small steps to something original?
They really need to buckle down and start making original Alien films rather than AVP films that aren’t labelled as AVP. Romulus isn’t worth returning to unless they redo at least 90 percent of the story narrative.
So what if i liked the main characters as genuine original content, but they themselves as actors and actresses can choose new roles that make their fanbases,-it isn’t doing anything for the franchise itself.
Alien isn’t making new fans by hiring actors/actresses that dont’ make you think about the subject matter. Its just casting cheerleading actors and actresses doing whats best for themselves which is putting themselves in the spotlight.
I hope what they do next is about a narrative rather than a talent exploit for putting people in theatre seats. But i guess that is what it takes right to get the train back on the tracks? I haven’t watched rated R sci-fi much as an adult in the theatres-mainly a social thing- neither kiddie sci-fi either, i still do though in many other ways and find the means to experience it.
Does Alien need a director atteched? Possibly, but more importantly they need a script that pushes new territory.
I mean why does Steven Speilburg need to make a UFO film? I fucken don’t know. possibly because he needs to funds to make other films.
