[Thor Joachim Haga]

I pride myself in not being TOO much of a geekboy, but I quite often fail. An example is this ALIEN thing. Every now and then, I conjure up a scenario in my head that continues the storyline from ALIEN: RESSURECTION, just because I want to see the Ripley storyline continued without introducing the concept of alternate timelines, which the aborted Neil Blomkamp project tried to do.

Fortunately, all the actors who portrayed the surviving crew members from that film are still alive. Since the end of A:R takes place outside a decimated Paris, we’re now almost 30 years later, and settlements have started to crop up. But it’s a chaotic and lawless society. Ron Perlman’s Johner, Dominique Pinon’s Vriess and Winona Ryder’s Call are still together as a rag tag band, doing occasional missions with the Betty. Call looks visibly older, which introduces the idea that androids get older (thereby also opening up to Fassbender’s return in a third David film). Ripley 8 is no longer with them. They get an assignment where they need Ripley’s help and set out to find her. They find her, and then head out into space to face the mission, ripe with xeno threats.

I know, silly. But that’s how my brain works those nights when I can’t sleep. 😀

Anyone else doing their own storylines? And would you admit it?
