I really wish Blomkamp was involved in this as well. Hawley is hit or miss for me.

Honestly… why? What's next? An Alien, Blade Runner, Predator crossover?

They need to lay off all of those franchises before they do irreparable harm to the legacy of those original films. Each new generation sees less and less of a reason to see Alien, Predator, or Blade Runner (especially the latter). Netflix has collected Neill Blomkamp's recent shorts into a sci-fi anthology. None of the stories clock in over 20 minutes, and they all manage to kick the living shit out of modern iterations of these franchises that Hollywood won't stop milking. We desperately need new " blood" in the speculative fiction genre. Our faces have had enough damn hugs!

I think I preferred Prometheus over Covenant (was that the title). Yeah I know about how the former leaves more questions than it answers but I suppose Im not a super-fan like others when it comes to this franchise so I dont mind too much I think a series could be beneficial for Blade Runner because maybe through that vehicle it can potentially achieve what the movies never could, popularity. You obviously have more time to tell your story and work on characters It is a worrying trend too, not everything needs to be in the same universe. All they look at is the dollars that the MCU is making..

You obviously have more time to tell your story and work on characters It is a worrying trend too, not everything needs to be in the same universe. All they look at is the dollars that the MCU is making.. The films after Aliens have a self-seriousness that makes their appeal in a modern context understandable. People like "serious" stuff these days. If you look/listen past the heaving Mongolian throat music and the vaguely diverting world-building, those films are as barren as LV-426 and devoid of any coherent story or memorable characters. David has become the killer-android parody he was probably designed to refute. He's clearly nothing more than a proxy for Scott's deeply seeded misanthropy. It's transparent, juvenile, and embarrassing. His only compelling character to come out of the recent films was Noomi Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw. He goes on to "dismiss her" off-screen just as she emerged as an anchor for his wildly flailing pseudo-philosophy. At least Cameron had the good sense to know he was making an action movie. Blade Runner sequels and extended media serve the sole purpose of making you want to revisit the original. The first movie works so well because it knows it doesn't have to answer the questions it poses. The new ones are too literal. The difference is that of a euphonic poem vs. a dull instructional text.

Reminds me of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - except that film from 2001 looks better than this.

“Noah decided not to take Ripley or any character from Alien – except perhaps the xenomorph itself – but go back and figure out what made the franchise so great and so durable in the first place and see if he could find an experience that felt like walking into a theater and seeing one of those first two movies, where you get caught off-guard. That’s all I can say at this point, though.”

“The Alien cinematic universe is that it’s a world where that’s sort of dominated by large corporate entities, and Weylan-Yutani has been an important component of the movies. There are references to that corporation in this show. But it actually takes place in the territory of a different corporation that Noah invented.”
