If they WERE remaking Alien, they would go PG:13. And the cast would look like this:

Dallas - Zac Efron
Ripley - Selena Gomez (though she does seem to have some acting chops)
Lambert - Miley Cyrus
Brett - Taylor Lautner
Kane - Shawn Mendes
Ash - Nick Jonas
Parker - Chris Brown

That's probably close to reality. It would be set to either a hard rock or gangsta rap soundtrack and it would be over the top with CGI. I can just imagine a scene where several of them encounter the Alien in a corridor, unload several clips of ammo on it, and the Alien dodges every one of them in really bad CGI slow motion.

I think I might have a handle on this. The cast would be,

Dallas - Bill Engvall
Kane - Jeff Foxworthy
Ripley - Sarah Silverman
Lambert - if only the late, great Joan Rivers were still here
Ash - Ron Tater Salad White
Parker - Cedric The Entertainer
Brett - Larry The Cable Guy

Now that might really be an interesting movie.

What, no Jennifer Lawrence or Melissa McCarthy?

If those pen pushers up at city hall don't like it,well, they swivel on this middle digit!

I guess one of them could be the voice of MUTHER or something like that.

I would just give them a general outline of a script and let them ad lib 90% of it. I can just imagine the conversation at the table right after they came out of hyper sleep. No way you could put that on broadcast TV.

I think Jennifer Lawrence is different from most in young Hollywood today in that she has legitimate talent but I'm just not sure she's right for an Alien movie.

Never. Alien and Aliens are both classics. You should never mess with a classic.

no.

Hell no

Some movies should never be rebooted or remade and Alien is definitely one of them.

reply

Alien should be re-made if only to get rid of the cathode-ray TV screens and keyboards.

Ellen DeGeneres? Fuck off.

Dallas – Zachary Levi
Ripley – Jessica Chastain
Lambert – Emmy Rossum
Brett – Tim Allen
Kane – Alec Baldwin
Ash – Mark Strong
Parker – Gerard Butler

That's just silly, there would be no money left for special effects.
