The world needs more good monster movies. This one looks like it has potential.

New Danny Boyle film.. I read that a screening caused a few people to need to go the hospital because it was so intense. And I don't know what happened to this guy, so if you know, don't fucking spoil it for me. :lol:

Ridley Scott to direct new 'Alien' movie

After thirty years of talking about it, it's finally been announced that original Alien director Ridley Scott will helm the new entry in the franchise.

Reports back in April mooted Scott for the new film, a prequel to the 1979 blockbuster, though later indications suggested that commercials director Carl Rinsch would lead the project. Fox weren't happy about that. Even though the company has done pretty well over the last three decades by choosing new or non-obvious talent to inject fresh blood into the franchise (including James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet), it seems the pressure for Scott to revisit xenomorph territory has combined with Hollywood's increasingly 'zero-risk' philosophy to tip the decision.

Nothing is known about the set-up of the new movie, except that chronologically it precedes the plight of the Nostromo. Since it's obviously going to involve the human race, I saw a few problems in deriving a credible plot that could predate Alien, but Hollywood has written its way past stickier obstacles than that.

Not sure how to feel about this. Alien and Aliens are two of my favorite movies. One was directed by Scott. But after that there was a big dropoff.. and the other two were still directed by good directors...

I've said this on another board but...I really think the fascination with Giger's influence on the first movie became something that the producers obsessed over too much later on. It seems like there was an emphasis on finding directors who were known for having unique visual styles rather than focusing on solid scripts.

I've long had a feeling that if they had continued in the initial arc after Aliens 4 someone like Terry Gilliam would have been in charge of a hypothetical A5.

The desire to keep Ripley/Sigourney Weaver the central focus was a mistake as well IMO.

I think Scott is a fantastic director but I'm definitely going to have to wait and see what happens...exposing too much of the mystery behind the 'space jockey' could really be a bad idea. Pulling aside the curtain is too often a disaster (midichlorians, Matrix 2&3 etc etc).

John le Carré: The author's official website: Award-winning director signed on for Tinker Tailor

Swedish director Tomas Alfredson has signed on to direct an adaptation of John Le Carr??s Cold War spy novel, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, for Working Title Films.
Alfredson, director of vampire movie Let The Right One In, will start shooting next year. It will be his first English-language film. The feature will be produced by Working Title?s co-chairmen Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.

The old BBC miniseries of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Alec Guinness as Smiley was a classic and rightly beloved by the British, but there's not much of a market for a slow-paced 8-hour DVD retread, so a feature-length remake makes sense.

Link from that site also says Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and "Don't call me Ralph" Fiennes are involved. Oldman as subtle-superspy George Smiley is an interesting, possibly inspired choice.
