OK, we all know A5 has been killed off by AVP1/2.

But we can but dream.

I'm writing an ALIEN 5 fan-fic. Its more like a highly detailed Synopsis, almost like a short novel, i'm teaching myself script-writing which in turn i want to use as a better understanding of Story-Boarding.

I have lots of excellent ideas, to make a cracking story, but i want to know what the fans think should be in ALIEN-5. Should we finally get all the answers? Should it be another single monster deal or should it be on a grand scale with hundreds/thousands of people under threat?

Should Ripley be in it, or have a clean sweep. I'm NOT following any AVP or Comic material, i'm sticking solely to the ALIEN movie Universe.

Over to you.

For me the logical progression would be discovering the Xeno's homeworld... or at least finally knowing what their origin was.

Are they a hostile species from another planet? Or were they a bioweapon manufactured for a war that ended long ago?

Oh and of course it should have Colonial Marines- in the form we all know and love.

Deep space probe discovers the Space jockey's planet and Marines investigage to discover their bio-weapon turned and killed them all ends in a big explosion where they destory the planet to save the universe.


OR:

Jockey ship crashes on Earth in the time frame after A3 and releases hell. Marines save the day.

OR: A short film:
Ripley wakes up over Gateway station with Hicks and Newt A3 and A4 were dreams.

I think that perhaps what went before Alien would be interesting.

You know, show more of the "space jockey" species and what their relation was with the xenomorphs. Maybe even show why they were transporting the eggs.
I think it would even be possible to work in some human characters so that we actually have language.

Maybe some sort of deep space probe piloted by an American/French team, they get involved, things go wrong, they all die in the end. (this could even be explained as how Weyland/Yutani learned of the downed derelict ship and sent the Nostromo to investigate.

Man, these ideas are giving me goosebumps, this would be a kick ass story!

Yeah I go for option 3! Except Newt wakes up with Hicks while Ripley is the one who died.

And of course Marines should be the main parts.

No Ripley,instead go for WY plowing ahead on the bio research on just the limited tech they have been able to gleem concerning the xeno`s.
Set after ALIENS,possibly before/after A3,or no A3 at all.

Some bright spark tries his hand at molecular bio engineering that has graive consiquences for that Off planet orbital Bio research facility (yea Marines in Space suits from the tech manual).

Colonial Marines are called in to investigate what happened to the research facility. A full detachment (CO,Synthetic,2 dropship crews,20 Marines) of Colonial Marines is sent (Dropship to check out the unknown craft,Main ship & some Marines on overwatch of the whole area-station,the remaining squads floating with dropship escort,over to the facility).

At a similar moment in time (to the Bio-engineering work) an advanced species tracks readings of this bio experiment & thinking they are the Xeno`s they capture-kill,go after the readings at the facility.

Colonial Marines arrive after what looks like the facility has been assaulted & an unusual craft docked.
Plenty of destruction from acid & weapons damaged (unknown types) around & in the facility. They make their way to the Docking bay to secure for dropship & CO`s arrival.
Then the search truely begins of the facility,eventually leading to survivors.
Survivors do exist but in such a shook up way bar a small Tactical WY Security Unit (hardened former Colonial Marines). After a debrief from the WY Tactical Unit decided that not only is their a Bio engineered creature running amok,that also this advanced Species are too.

Colonial Marines find at cost that the CO is in fact an "Artificial Human" planted by WY to safeguard their Research work & facility at all costs to the Colonial Marines. Upon discovering that it`s Colonial Marines vs WY Tactical Unit & former CO.
The Colonial Marine Synth is actually on the Marines side due to correct programming & thus takes out the CO (maybe?? ).

The rest,well fire fights galore & as said Marines dropping as too surviving techs. Of course the advanced species take losses from both sides (Bio Creature & Colonial Marines).

It`s whilst this ensures that a captured xeno escapes the advanced species ship (due to some offset by the close proximity of the Dropship) & via connected airlock to the facility starts it`s own escapeds on the Humans,Advanced Species & Bio Creature.

Leading to an interesting ending???

Well just one idea to the one`s already offered.

Hmm, I like the idea of Newt waking up over Gateway and Alien 3 and 4 were her nightmares. Hicks and Bishop are fine, and Ripley mysteriously died.

Everyone is pretty much on the same page, this is my idea, i dont want to give away too much until the Full Treatment is completed.

Time: 3 years after Alien 3 Fury 141 incident.

A deep range scout explorer ship belonging to a company Trident Explorers, encounters strange readings from inside a local dark nebula. Its an another Jockey Bone ship, it has three arms (turns out the crashed one third arm was buried.)

The ship manoeuvres into position between the three arms to begin to grapple on and tow the ship back to base.

They search the ship, and find a Jockey Alien, difference he's Alive but very weak in a kind of suspended animation as they get close to the chair it awakens, a hand reaches out and tries to throttle a crewmember the other astronauts jump on the creature and try to release its grip.

During this confusion a 4th crewmember sneaks on board and steals an egg from the cargo hold using a device to prevent the egg from hatching. (turns out hes an Weyland Utani agent.)

Back on Earth, Victoria Mclaren a young journalist is approached by a man called Daniel Hicks a police officer. He's been looking into his brothers disappearance on the Archeron mission and found a list of the Sulaco crew after hacking a database.
Victoria Mclaren is shocked to find that her Grandmother was alive after thinking she'd been lost many years before.
Why didn't Ripley find her and her Mother Amanda Mclaren?

In the mean time the scout ship returns to the huge Thedus starport, Alien ship in tow to a huge press fanfare and news coverage. Hicks knows that his brother was lost investigating an advanced Alien creature of some kind and the pair of them get tickets to Thedus to do a bit of first hand investigating... and they get more than they bargained for...

This is just the intro very rough, i'm not sure about the Hicks character but i like the idea of the Grandaughter, it shows that the company lied to Ripley to keep her under control.

My personal thoughts are that we should see two more movies at least.

A decent AVP movie set further in our future, but leading up to Weyland Yutani discovering the existence of the Derelict, maybe a first exploration mission that goes so fubar the Company covers the whole mess up - but ends with a lone executive in his office making orders to divert the Nostromo to the unexplored LV426.

And then an Alien 5 that finally allows us to discover the homeworld of the Aliens themselves, and explores why the space jockey was transporting them. Accident? Weapons transport? Prison ship? The main thing is, no Ripley in Alien 5, unless literally as a cameo.

But above all, decent scripts and decent directors. Be fantastic if could get Cameron or Scott back in the chair, Fincher would also do well long as the suits are kept at arms length (though with the latter's nightmare making Alien 3 doubt he'd ever consider that).
