Here it is. The movie starring every action movie star you can think of … Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Steve Austin, Randy Coutre, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Apocalypse, angels with guns, Archangel Michael vs. Gabriel … almost sounds like a spoof trailer you’d see on SNL or Robot Chicken. Yet, I still wanna see it.
Stuff like this just baffles me. Hey studios, we’re paying Netflix who is in turn paying you … we just want to give you our money, please let us. You should be so lucky. It’s actually easier to pirate the movie so be grateful for what you have. Idiots.
When Hollywood isn’t figuring out which completely unnecessary remake to trot out next (see: Footloose, set for release June 2010), they spend a lot of time working on “prequels.” It’s another great way to ride on the coattails of past success rather than creating something new. And, unlike the standard sequels, you don’t have to worry about resigning the lead characters to potentially high contracts.
That’s the only reason I can see to green light stuff like an “Alien” prequel.
Ridley Scott, director of the 1979 original, has signed on with 20th Century Fox to create a prequel to the series. His company Scott Free will also produce the film.
I guess three sequels plus the two Aliens vs. Predator movies just wasn’t enough.
