I think they should make it into a series. Not with Ripley waking up to Aliens every episode of course, but to develop a longer story arc, introduce some new characters and show a new future that's relevant today.

Maybe each one can be an origin story for a different type of Alien, and then a movie where they have to get through their differences to take down Ripley!

I watched the recut Aliens and (just last week actually) Alien 3, and I have to say I wasn't too impressed, I prefer the original versions. I don't dislike them but I find them unnecessary.
I'm rewatching Prometheus right now, and god damn for all my gripes about the film that bears its name, the ship is still in my top five best movie space ships. Fourth place behind Serenity, the Falcon and Galactica (reimagined), if you need to know... And the movie's photography is its greatest asset, though that's never been in question afaik.

I want to see an Alien franchise film where the Aliens have found earth, a large conflict has occurred, the aliens are now living in peace alongside humans and the film follows the courtroom drama of an Alien suing for discrimination against a casting director who wouldn't let it play a marine in the 18th reboot of Aliens. The alien does the whole thing method, so stays in marine character in the court scenes - proves self.

I can't think of anything better.

Alien 3 always seemed a bit cheap to me, what with it being stacked to the brim with British TV actors. Obviously not an issue for the non-Brits, but you could watch it going: "There's that guy from Casualty! And that fella was in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. Hey, wasn't that bloke in Coronation Street?" Bit of an immersion buster for me, anyway.
Presumably they spent the majority of the budget on Weaver's fee and special effects, so they had to shop in the bargain basement for the supporting cast.

District 9 is kind of similar. :D

Charles Dance the minor stage actor?
Pete Posthelwaite the Oscar nominee?
Paul McGann of Withnail and I fame?
Oh wait, there's a couple of TV actors in it. You're right, it was on a shoestring.
