Michael Biehn Alien 5 Hicks Revival Terminated by Studio?

The demand for the return of Sigourney Weaver in an Alien movie is growing. Alien 3 had a troubled shoot and ultimately made fans angry by killing off Newt and Hicks (Biehn). Michael Biehn also played Kyle Reese from the first two Terminator movies; The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2 Judgment Day (Extended Cut – T-1000 Edition) . Michael made no secret that he wanted to continue the Hicks role and was gutted he didn’t get to continue it. Instead he was killed off screen and thrown a fee for his likeness to be used in the movie on a computer screen (HUD – Alien 3).

Alien Ressurection ‘Alienated’ fans even more, it had some redeeming features like Xenomorphs in water, the ‘resurrection’ of the Ripley character and similar to T3 an ending that was a strong set-up for a continuation/sequel in which Ripley arrives on earth but those slimy Aliens arrived there before she did… I genuinely thought Alien 5 would have been Earth/War/Hive similar to the Dark Horse comics.

Neil Bloomkamp who directed Elysium and District 9 has revealed he was working on an Alien project which would bring Ripley (Weaver) back in a 5th Theatrical production and not only that Michael Biehn’s Hicks character is revived but with a scarred face. #WOW

This seems like it would have been a continuation/sequel as Biehn has facial damage from the acid blood of Xenomorph that dripped onto his Hypersleep Chamber!

Bloomkamp posted the following concept Art to his Instagram. He states it doesn’t look like the movie will happen anymore so he is releasing the concept art.

Again a project that will excite die hard fans of an iconic franchise seems to be put on the scrap heap… this is beyond infuriating… does this mean they are going to reboot Alien with a younger cast instead? I’m not even interested in Prometheus 2… I was sold on the original concept Paradise! but instead of making one great epic movie they had to milk 3 sequels so they give us new creatures in place of the original scripted xenomorphs to MILK IT! If the return of Ripley and Hicks wasn’t #BADASS enough then the return of the #BITCH from Jim Cameron’s hit sequel ‘Aliens’ was another sure fire hit for moviegoers.

Each image makes us hate Hollywood a little more…

 

 

 

Neil’s desk… Master Chief? Is he working on a Halo project?

Hopefully fans will fight this one out and force the studio to give in for once! Make this movie! Make it Rated R and they WILL fill the seats.

Also judging by the concept the studio project title seems to be ALIEN XENO.

Bring Michael Biehn back as Hicks FFS! If studios continue to ignore fans they will eventually withdraw support for movies that don’t even consider them or give them what they want. People in suits need to stop imposing BS on fans and thinking their superior intellect and young faces will bring more money in from children than the people who matter most… THE F*CKING FANS!

WEAVER! BIEHN! GREAT SCRIPT! RATED R! MAKE IT HAPPEN! THE END!

Michael Biehn himself is also interested in what you think about this story…

Let Hicks (Biehn) know what you think about the recent news! share a comment on his fan page and make sure you like his page as a vote for his return as Hicks! The fans now need to start uniting in these matters, you are the consumer, you have to live with these movies. Use your power to make Hollywood listen to you, social media is now the tool.

To our knowledge 20th Century Fox hold the rights of ‘Alien’, put on the pressure, consume their social media pages with #MichaelBiehn and #Hicks! Make them listen!

UPDATE:

“Ps this has nothing to do with the studio. I just feel like I might do something else instead. In which case why not show some work”

What a tease! 20th Century Fox… if Neil walks away please use his work as the basis for the next movie and make it a horror sci-fi, the fans are crying out for one!
