Neill Blomkamp's Aliens film — which we've been speculating on since it was announced last week — is going to be a direct sequel to 1986's Aliens. In an interview with Sky Movies (promoting the soon-to-be-released Chappie), Blomkamp said he wants his upcoming film to feel like the "genetic sibling" to James Cameron's classic. "So, it's Alien, Aliens, this movie," he said, referring to his ideal canonic timeline.

Alien franchise star Sigourney Weaver added "I would love to take Ripley from orbiting around in space and give a proper finish to what was such an excellent story.

So, I guess we're pretending that Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection never existed?

According to the newly proposed timeline, the events of Alien 3 were what? A fever dream that Ripley experienced in hyper sleep? Actually, that could work. And technically, the events of Alien: Resurrection could still be considered canon, since that film takes place hundreds of years after the events of Aliens. But I don't think anyone will be upset about Resurrection not "counting."

Fans of Alien 3, however, may not be happy.

There's no release date or official name for the new film. Chappie (which Weaver stars in) will release on March 6.

First flick I can remember seeing in the theater was Aliens. Goat action movie. Alien 3 just didn't deliver like it should have. Bad script. Killed off Hicks. Bunch a bald brits. :camby:

This will hopefully make up for those bad sequels. We shall see.

Earth Hive:

The story opens with a group of young girls camping. One of them is the main character; her name is Billie. The girls are exchanging scary ghost stories and are trying to come up with the best one to scare their friends.

Finally, one of the girls begins to describe the Xenomorphs in graphic detail, despite her never having seen one or heard of one. One of the girls says that the story makes her feel sick, and in turn is the folly of the other two's jokes. As the story of the Nightmare Bugs continues the little girl who complained about being sick to her stomach begins to go into a seizure-like state. She goes into convulsions and then her abdomen ruptures. A chestburster emerges and scrambles for freedom. It bites Billie's other friend in the neck and kills her. Billie feels the same pain in her chest then...

Billie wakes up in a mental hospital, you find out that she has been having this nightmare for as long as she can remember. Due to the severity of her nightmares, the hospital regularly sedates her. Billie is one of the two survivors of a colony world called Rim which was decimated by xenomorphs. Every one on the colony, including her friends and family, is dead. The only other survivor, a member of the United States Colonial Marine Corps named Wilks, who is in prison for unspecified reasons.

Cpl. Wilks is being held in prison for having seen the xenomorphs. He is called to a "parole" hearing, rather unexpectedly, and is confronted by Doctor Orona. Orona is funding an "expedition" to the Xenomorph's homeworld and needs the help and experience of any one who has been in close proximity to the aliens. Upon being released Wilks is given the rank of Sergeant and is tasked with putting together an elite team of marines to participate in the expedition.

As he is organizing the team Wilks also breaks Billie out of the mental hospital. Billie, who is convinced that she is crazy and all of the nightmares are fake, is shocked to see the real Wilks. The moment is bittersweet for Billie. On the one hand, she isn't crazy after all, and on the other, everything she remembered actually happened.

Sgt. Wilks, who is now second in command of the expedition, begins to evaluate the training of the marines. He also requests heavy weaponry but is denied because the officer in charge says that they are unnecessary and will damage the specimens.

Soon the ill-prepared, ill-experienced, an ill-equipped team of marines embarks on their journey. It becomes apparent that there is a saboteur on board when some of the marines end up dead or missing. Then when all else seems to be going wrong, their ship is captured by a ruthless business man out to retrieve an alien sample. The marines are used as cannon fodder to coax out the aliens when they reach their home world.

Billie and Wilks manage to take back the ship and save a few marines, but it comes at a price. Only two of the marines and one crewman make it back aboard their ship.

While all of that was going on, Earth fell into anarchy. An outbreak of alien hives begins appearing all over the world. The humans quickly respond to the new threat with initial success! But after some time the aliens begin to adapt to human tactics and the tide turns in the aliens' favor. Dr. Orana, the man who attempted to save the Earth with the aliens, is cornered in his office by a sea of aliens. With no hope of escape he commits suicide by shooting himself in the head.

By the time Billie, Wilks and the other survivors make it back to Earth it is too late. They get separated with the surviving crewman and one of the few marines is shot by a crazed general. Billie, Wilks, and Bueller (the android/Marine) make it to the last ship capable of escaping Earth's atmosphere and make a speedy escape. The story closes with them going into cryo-sleep and waiting for rescue.

Billie is Newt, Wilks is Hicks.
