Turns Out That Story About The Aliens Pitch Is True

Turns Out That Story About The Aliens Pitch Is True

In the wild west of the Internet, it’s difficult to know what information to trust. Some anecdotes have waffled back and forth between “this is true” and “this is just a myth” — one that comes to mind is the story that Donkey Kong got his name from Shigeru Miyamoto looking into a Japanese thesaurus and seeing “donkey” listed as a synonym for “stubborn.” I’m pretty sure I read an interview where he confirmed this happened, but there is still a debate going around on whether it did.

Rumor: Live-Action Titan AE Remake

Rumor: Live-Action Titan AE Remake

The website Giant Freakin Robot claimed today they have an inside source who has revealed to them a live-action remake of Titan AE is being considered by Disney/Fox. Details were light because “we were unable to learn whose hands the project is currently in,” they say. Take this one with a massive grain of salt, as we couldn’t confirm this with any of the more established sites like Variety or THR.

In the summer of 1991, Fox put out a rather misleading teaser announcing Alien 3. The narration suggested the third movie would be about the creatures reaching Earth…a logical progression of the story, but not what they went with. Instead, the draft described in the teaser was thrown out and a depressing yarn about Ripley being marooned in space prison was substituted instead.

Marvel Comics Obtains Rights To Alien And Predator

Dark Horse Comics has been publishing material related to the Alien and Predator movies for nearly its entire existence. They took a chance on an Aliens book in 1988 and it took off, paving the way for countless expanded universe stories, and acquired Predator in 1989. It was Dark Horse that came up with the idea of merging the two properties, something the movie studio later adapted for itself.

At this point, twenty seasons of The Simpsons have been released on DVD — two thirds of the current library, roughly. At the pace they’re going, 20th Century Fox and its parent company The Walt Disney Company should get to our current season by the time Fox broadcasts the 47th. But the important thing is, all the truly classic seasons and episodes are available, except “Stark Raving Dad.”

For many years, I assumed The Abyss was a horror movie about getting stuck at the bottom of the ocean in a leaky submarine while being menaced by terrifying sea creatures. A few years ago, I finally saw it and….turns out that stupid kid on my school bus who recited the “plot” to me was a big fat liar who probably hadn’t seen The Abyss either. The good side? That idea was free.

The future is inevitable: Linda Hamilton will return as Sarah Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate, the first robot-uprising sequel since T2 to have original director James Cameron at the helm. Because Cameron (for the most part) knows what he’s doing, this film will ignore every bad Terminator sequel and consider only the first and second movies canon.

Free League is producing an Alien roleplaying game! Preorders will open May 25, the official 40th anniversary of the original 1979 film. It’ll come with a meaty 300-plus page Core Rulebook, gorgeous backdrop artwork, cards and dice. Rules for two separate modes, an ongoing Campaign Mode and a one-session Cinematic Mode, will be included.

We have to say we’re pleased with the massive list of special features for the home video release of Alita: Battle Angel, which was announced today. A lot of today’s movies don’t put nearly as much effort into their disc versions as they did in the glory days of the 2000s, but not Alita. Alita does it right, with a mountain of extras larger than the title character’s eyeballs.
