Sharks are still recovering from Jaws.
Hollywood has been exacerbating that misery & destruction for over half a century.
For as much as I love H.R. Giger, god rest him, I’m glad he didn’t see his legacy watered down with modern poison.
What Happened to the Alien Franchise?
I couldn`t care less. *A L I E N* is all I need and want. Greatest film I have ever seen. A masterpiece.
Corporate happened. that's what.
As someone whose all-time favourite film is Alien, I’m cautiously optimistic about the Fede Alvarez film.
Did you see the culturally sensitive all inclusive woke casting?
Franchises should end after the second installment. It ALWAYS ends badly after that. It's a law of nature.
48 seconds in and I love it so far. Glad to be one of the first to support a channel with such potential. Only one suggestion, give the Hollywood Lore title card for a few more seconds then hard cut to black, then fade into the first chapter. That’ll draw the view in, especially since the rest of the video has such a great, fast paced kinetic energy. (Edit) the writing is really really good. It’s clever (shoot a shark into space haha!) and it flows really well.
Thank you for appreciating the script, my wife wrote it, she is so happy now) regarding the intro - will check it out, thanks! Funny thing, I spent days on intros for previous videos, just to delete them now. One intro was so good, it’s deletion launched the video into space lol
This is so high quality for such a small channel, I hope to see your channel grow and get the attention it deserves! 💙
Remar wasn't fired for thinking he knew the character, it was because he had a drug problem.
I just commented a similar thing before I saw your comment 😊
Alien, Aliens, Alien3 are great movies. 3 is rough, but it is a concise end to Ellen Ripley's storyline.
I ignore Resurrection, AVPs (AVP movies, not comics), Pro, and Covenant which completely ruins the "space jockey elephantoid race" turning them into "Engineers" and ignores cannon of the universe.
I would urge anyone enamoured with the first few films: Read the Books and Comics! That is where the 'Alien' universe thrives.
Definitely! Alien franchise is at it's best when it's not trying to over-explain itself - not stupid origin stories that remove the mystery of the alien. I mean, the first movie is called ALIEN for reason- it's not just because of the space monster, but because everything about it is ALIEN, unknown from depths of space.
Comics work because they had the sense to be mostly single stories within it's own universe.
Something like _Labyrinth_ is a million times better than Prometheus or Covenant- a single story about a scientist who against all odds survives within an alien nest, but loses his sanity and humanity in the process, but learns something valuable about the creatures.
Stuff like this is great - it doesn't try to create lore that by overexplaining the background removes the mystery of the alien.
Ridley Scott's ego the best of him. Its mind-boggling that he didn't understand his own creation.
Power of H.R. Gigers paintings, from which the figure of alien originated - were powerful because they were literally from dreams and nightmares. Not explained to the point you have nothing of the mystery left...
Alien 3 happened and then when there was a glimmer of hope, scott came back and made Covenant
Hello everyone and welcome to Hollywood lore! It's awkward to leave a first comment on a video with so little views, so I'll do it for ya!
This video was inspired by recent release of Alien Romulus trailer, which i reacted to, it was a nice experience and I'm excited about the movie. Hope you enjoy the video and if you liked it - consider subscribing, more is to come!
Excellent video. Thanks for making it.
Subscribed. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
If I could go back in time I would make a Alien sequel set in the old West where Xenomorphs are matched against professional gunfighters and hard-rock miners. Maybe in Carson City in the 19th century.
Directed by Sam Peckinpah of course.
@@racistantisemite2625 wow, reminds me a bit of Cowboy's vs Aliens. Stupid movie but two beers did the job) who would you cast?
What happened? First Jeunet tried to add comedy in Resurrection and thenSir Ridley Scott made Prometheus and followed it up with Alien Covenant. Beside that I think the franchise still has a lot of potential and I’m curious for Romulus
Great video. I can't say I have any optimism for the series ever producing something again that I could love, but I'll always tune in for a try. Since the horror show of disappointment that was Prometheus, its all been just awful. Cross your tentacles.
Thanks! When I started a video after filming a reaction I was also mostly sceptical, but after some research I got a glimpse of hope…
I thought James Remar was sacked for drug related incident. Great vid though😊
Great video 👍🏻 keep going!
While the original script basis my have been in Jaws the movie only got made because of star wars. The og script had been sitting about for ages woth no green lights or interest before star wars and then a Sci-fi movie rush was kicked off due to how successful it's release was.
Great video! I think Romulus is gonna be fairly good, but trying to not get my hopes to high anyways! I LOVE the first and 2nd movies, after that they are either ok-ish for popcorn munching but thats all, but I do find cool stuff in any of the movies in the franchise except for AVP which I always refused to watch idk why lol
Studio influence on production times, story writing and direction is what killed it. People with lots of money and zero talent, telling the people with talent what to do and how to do it.
I heard about Disney's new Alien movie, something about A.I. Ian Holms and more Black Goo. Not interested in paying to see it on that alone.
I feel that after alien and aliens the franchise was always trying to be like or better than those first two films. I feel like the alien story is repeated with people just trying to survive a xenomorph outbreak again and again.
Great job on the video!! Here’s hoping that Alien Romulus will be great!! Can’t wait to go see it at the theater. When I seen Alien 3 at the theater, I was so mad they killed off Hicks and Newt that by the end of the movie, I didn’t even care that Ripley died. They should have stopped after that, lol.
I couldn’t believe that either, it’s such a contrast, like you feel from the beginning that it’s some kind of Alien 3 from evil reality where everything’s freaked up. Guess it’s really where we live huh 😅
Alien3 shit all over Aliens and the themes of family (Ripley and Hicks becoming Newt's parents) including loyalty and protection of your family.
I can't get over how shit Alien3 was for pissing on my love of the Franchise in the opening minutes.
Prometheus directors cut is pretty good.
It sucks donkey balls.
Instead, seek out the half-decent fanedit called: Prometheus (SPECIAL EDITION).
Nice. - And Good Job.
To be fair, when HAS a big successful film (or two in the case of Alien) not been let down by an ever-dwindling string of crappy sequels. Nobody ever listened to John and Paul: LET IT BE
Despite being unpopular, I did enjoy some of the later Terminator sequels.
My favorite movie series, not just the first two films. Alien 3 and even Resurrection added so many creative ideas which are now widely used in all Alien-based video gamrs, films, novels and comic stories. Should I hate them because of Hicks/Newt death? Only childish fanatics do that. Newt would be played by other actress anyway and I'm sure, annoying fans would cry and whine as usual, so.
Prometheus and Covenant also brought many interesting things - my least fav Alien films but still interesting.
Something suddenly happened to the franchise?
Prometheus and Covenant happened 😅
This video’s voiceover was written by AI. So many issues and errors.
I'm very sure that Disney is going to finally ram the franchise into the ground. How about non-binary aliens with African-American or, optionally, Asian roots and a gay spaceship crew.
It's surprising that anything got filmed with all that ego going on in the background.
Alien 3 happened
new upcoming movie FEATURING KIDS and TEENAGERS
There were great scripts for alien 3, but the good ones aas discarded. They wanted to produce cheap as possible and we got alien 3 junk which ruined the ending of aliens. Alien resurrection became junk as they needed a story tonl bring back signourney and that story plus ruining it with bad lioking alien, only pluss is they angled to towards linking it to predator which the avp in the comics was a great source. The avp movie had many good ideas but poor acting and nad script made it bad. The requiem tried and was medicore. Then finally the man himself Ridley Scott, took a Gerohe lucas, did fall in the same trap leaning on cginl gallore. At least lucas had a good script and decent actors. The Prometheus and Covenant was filled with plot holes, defently ruined the original and so many dumb characters it was like homer simpson in space. There is fortinatly many fan short movies, that is waaaay better than what 100mill+ can do. All directors hot lazy after early success and lost their creativity and also having political agenda and forced diversity into movies doesn't help either. There is no hope for this franchise. It isndead like so many others.
Homer Simpson in space lawl
I don’t know if it’s the AI, or the script, but something is definitely off here. Many things are factually wrong in this video.
I love all the Alien Films that have Ellen Ripley in them... which is all of them, because the one's that don't have her are NOT Alien Films, lol.
It's too big to be cult
The AI voice is pretty good. Wasn't till the end that it clicked.
IMO, there are only TWO Alien movies: Alien and Aliens. I refuse to acknowledge the rest.😁
Roger that, saw the first one and had only seen the preview, scared the piss outta everybody. Alien's is by far the best! Both had a great cast, first was the horror part and 2 was were bout to kick your ass! Ole Guy
@@ch3no2killz I saw the third and part of the fourth, so is not like I didn't them a chance. However, those sequels were stupid and boring, IMO, so any sequels after that, I just didn't bother to watch.
Aliens 3 🗑👎🗑
A true Alien fan would not even acknowledge Alien 3. IMHO....Alien Resurrection was wonderful and should have been Alien 3.
i hate Alien Resurrection 1997🤬😡
You're nowhere near a true Alien fan if you ignore all the great innovations Alien 3 added just because of stupid Hicks/Newt death
What an asinine statement. I'm a fan of the franchise, and I put alien 3 as the 2nd best film in the franchise after alien.
There is no Alien without Ellen Ripley. 🥲
