Not sure how they could have Ripley around when this film takes place before the first Alien, in which she first encouters one. I'm thinking they might explore the destruction of the derelict spacecraft or perhaps a story about another ship that landed there and had its crew "infected" prior to the Nostromo's visit.

AVP II was just horrible, the first one was by far better. It explained how the company would know about the aliens. A prequel would be cool, if they can do it right. There is so much out there in the way of comics and books that can be pulled from.

I just hope they don't try to redo what's already been done: we already know how the aliens reproduce, create hosts of their victims, protect their queen and use acid as a defense mechanism.
I'd rather see the aliens serve as a backdrop in a film that examinies and explores the psychology of its characters--characters that grab our attention and play off new themes. |

In the original Alien, the Nostromo was directed to go to the planet with the aliens by the owning corporation. They knew something about what was on it, so there was likely some previous encounters with the aliens. The question is if they can pull off a good story that leads in. They certainly dropped the ball on the sequels after Aliens.
I think there is still some mystery as to if the company understood what the alien would grow to be when it fully matured. It did seem like the company knew a lot more than the audience in the first movie. Even in Aliens, it seems the company execs were challenging Ripley in saying that she had come across something that had never once been documented before in any exploration of colonizing worlds. But, that could just be the company blowing smoke to cover things up. |

I thought they stumbled on a distress beacon, but didn't understand that it was a warning to keep away. They went in not knowing anything at first. I think once the company saw the report of the initial results from the examination of the face-hugger they decided they wanted it for bio-weapons research at the expense of the crew.

Really? I thought that was the best part. I like when taboos of dieing children and so forth are stricken from movies...In real life they are all fair game...just like aliens...

i spent a small fortune on gi joe sized ALIENS from hong kong.
i like anything about ALIEN but the first movie is the only one i consider to be truly canon. the rest of the films didnt have anything to do thematically or visually with the original film. the original film was extremely psychological and subliminal... all of the movies since have been action films. bleh. |

Why dont they just do the ORIGINAL version of Alien 4...where Wripley dremt the third movie and when she awakes, she finds newt is gone and Her and Hicks find Aliens are on Earth now. NOW that would be kick ass...Aliens Earth Wars.
Well as far as the Ship they found in the frist and second films...if you know your Predator history you know that that crashed ship is a Seed ship....in essence they find worlds and seed it with Alien eggs then the Predators come along and hunt the aliens...essentially the ship in the first and second films found by dallas then later the colonists is a contractor hired by the predator species to seed worlds for their hunts. This was in an older issue of one of the Predator/Aliens comics though i don't remember exactly which one but at the end it showed one of the ships, which looked just like the one in alien, flying away.
