Perhaps you saw the viral report about the New Jersey High School Drama Club who put on a spring production based on the seminal science fiction film Alien. They did it all with recycled materials, and the result was an incredible tribute and production. We cannot get over the quality of sets and costumes, all of […]

Theater kids across the country know the joys and horrors of choosing plays to put on in high school; who thinks “The Cherry Orchard” is a good idea for teenagers, seriously. Imagine, instead of the run of the mill show like “The Importance of Being Ernest” or “Waiting for Godot”, you instead do a stage […]

We freaking love Alien around here at Bleeding Cool, and the continued celebration of the 40th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s elegant science fiction masterpiece has us super excited. Along with the brand-new 4K special edition of the film, we’re getting six, SIX, entries into the franchise by way of short films. After story and idea 550 pitches […]

As painful as it is to imaging that a full forty years have passed since Ridley Scott’s masterpiece of science fiction horror, Alien, first appears on the big screen, we can ease that feeling knowing that 20th Century Fox is about to wow us with an all-new remastering into an UltraHD 4K HDR release. The […]

After much debate back and forth as to what the new supposed animated Alien SOMETHING was going to be, we’ve got a bit of an answer from IGN’s exclusive digital series, Alien: Isolation. A trailer for the project was released this morning by IGN, who will be the exclusive home of the series, which drops tomorrow: […]

A year can’t go by without rumors swirling of what direction the future of the Alien franchise is heading. There have been starts and stalls for Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5, which would be a direct sequel to Aliens, Sir Ridley Scott’s assurances that he’d make more Xenomorph films if/when the Disney purchase of Fox happens, and of […]

With James Cameron returning to the classic science fiction franchise of Terminator (albeit as producer), it makes sense that folks would start asking him about Alien again, right? Specifically, the long-talked-about but eventually scrapped Alien 5 from Neill Blomkamp. Reportedly, Blomkamp’s film would have been a direct sequel to Aliens, complete with Ripely, Newt, and Hicks returning. Sir Ridley Scott sort of […]

After some super-mysterious tweets regarding the 20th Century Fox property “Alien: Blackout”, we’ve got some confirmations as to what the title is, and when we’ll be seeing it. Featuring Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda Ripley, “Alien: Blackout” will be a mobile game that is set to release on January 24th 2019. There was a short launch […]

Back in November, 20th Century Fox filed some interesting trademark for something called Alien: Blackout, making us (and pretty much every other outlet on the web) believe the same thing- that a new Alien video game was coming. There really hasn’t been anything definitive until today, when the official Alien Twitter account shared a 30-second video mentioning an […]

The long-gestating saga of an Alien film from Neill Blomkamp continues, with yet-another quote from Ellen Ripley herself, Sigourney Weaver. Perhaps you’ll recall when a few years ago, Weaver revealed the plans (at the time) for a direct Aliens sequel that Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) was reportedly working on. It sounded amazing; picking up right after the dropship leaves […]
