Just came across this bit of news: link
Anyone got any independent confirmation on this? If it's for real, could be very cool…

I hope that comes out. I loved Aliens and I enjoyed District 9. |

Well while he mentioned they are thousands of years apart, the tech level is basically the same. So they are not thousands of years apart. |

I would definitely see this! |

I have so much hope for this movie. As far as I am concerned the movie series ends after Aliens. 3 and 4 were utter drek and garbage and need to be expunged with a true sequel post Aliens. |

I have been hearing about this all summer. I heard its on, then its on hold, and then its on again. Ridley Scott has the main pull on what happens and he has been focused on Prometheus 2, which may also be on hold. Really you just have to wait for when it actually happens. (I want both to happen, but the ALIENS franchise has let me down too much) |

I really liked those comics. Soooo much better than the whole Aliens 3/Aliens 4/Prometheus mess. Prometheus 2 has apparently been re-titled Aliens Covenant or something of that ilk. I'm still not tempted to shell out money to see it. |

Prometheus needs to be allowed to fade away into the same darkness as Highlander 2. That movie was so bad, it made the AVP movies look good. |

Hey what's wrong with AVP I liked those movies. |

There was nothing wrong with Prometheus. You guys are just salty. |

Prometheus wasn't that bad in my view – still better than 2/3 of the other sci-fi out there these days. What kind of hurt it in my view was that halfway thru pre-production, they decided to make it into a trilogy instead of a standalone prequel to Alien. A lot of the scenes/plot suffered as a result. **LV-223 is exactly the same as LV-426 when viewed from space. **The Engineer ship crashed in exactly the same position as the ship on LV-426. **Instead of answering any questions, the movie was left completely open to set the stage for more prequel-sequels (is that a thing now?). |

Prometheus 2 needs to be produced by the Syfy Channel and retitled "Alienado". No doubt it would be a vast improvement. Perhaps David Hasslehoff could star this time around. |

Good idea. They can re-create the scene from Alien where Ripley strips to her underwear to get into the spacesuit. The new scene will star one of the Hoff's Baywatch babes, and be about 37 minutes long. |

I would welcome a GOOD Aliens sequel. Yes Aliens 3 & 4 should just be expunged. Every copy of them everywhere should be tracked down and destroyed. Aliens was a truly great movie and Ripley's incredible heroism simply inspiring. To have it reduced to pointlessness by the third movie was a travesty. |
