Alien and Aliens are two of my all-time favourite films of any genre. Recently news has emerged that Disney is dipping back into that franchise's well to try milking it for more money ...
I'm not a fan of what Disney did with Star Wars, so I am pretty pessimistic about this. However, from this video, I am slightly encouraged to hear it will have a "distinct storyline" not linked to that trash
Prometheus and to a lesser extent,
Covenant (YMMV but I absolutely hated these films, especially
Prometheus -- only reason I didn't walk out of the theatre was because I paid $20 for the ticket and I'm a true Winnipegger). Hearing that a TV series is planned has me worried that they're just going to milk this franchise until it's truly dead.
I guess we'll see ... but nothing will ever be able to match the original two and we will always have those, at least, no matter what Disney does.
It's sad that there was really only one good
Predator (the original -- also one of my all-time faves).
Predators with Adrien Brody was mediocre (I guess on par with Predator II). "
The Predator" I never watched but just reading a plot summary it sounds so outrageously awful I couldn't bring myself to attempt it.
