Kilka zdań na temat "Blomkampowego" Aliena prosto od Michaela Biehna.
Chatting with Icons of Fright, Biehn talked about the genesis of the movie, and some of the studio politics involved. "The basic idea is acting like 'Alien' 3 and 4 never existed... I know Ridley Scott is doing his movie first and is going to be the executive producer on this one, so I’m really looking forward to that. I know that Ridley’s focus is on ['Alien: Covenant'] and I’m sure that he and Fox both don’t want that and Neill’s movie to come out right next to each other, because they’re kind of two different worlds, with 'Aliens' taking place thousands of years later, which is how they explained it all to me, but at the same time, they want to give them a similar feel," he explained. "I know they’re putting the brakes on Neill’s movie just for a little while, but I really think that it would be embarrassing to Ridley and Fox and Sigourney [Weaver] if they just didn’t make the movie."
We'll see how that plays out, but the most interesting part is the core idea of the story Blomkamp has cooked up. "They’re planning on bringing me and Newt back and at this point Newt will be around twenty-seven years old," Biehn said. "I know that every actress in Hollywood is going to want to play this one, it’s really a passing of the torch between Sigourney and this younger actress who would play Newt. It would keep the franchise alive and the studios would make money, because that’s what the bottom line is now: money. That’s why you end up seeing 'Terminator' 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 10 and 'The Fast And Furious' 7, 8, 9, and 10."
