		<description>Evil corporation with private military exploiting alien resources...check
Giant Mechs...check

Could Cameron&#039;s Avatar exist in the same continuity of the Alien films?  Could the company mining Unobtanium also be the one from the Alien films?</description>

		<description>Personally I like Aliens more than Alien, but either of the old directors doing Alien 5 (Aliens 2?) is the only preferable way to return to it...

What I&#039;d really like to see what happened to the crashed down ship in Alien, even a glimpse of that would be great</description>

		<description>First of all, Tom Rothman made some mistakes (AvP 1&amp;2) but I wouldn&#039;t call him an &quot;idiot&quot; int&#039;l friends. In fact he isn&#039;t the first studio head to make mistakes, I doubt he will be the last. 

&quot;Alien 5&quot;/ &quot;Predators&quot;- I, too, would like to see a film that follows &#039;Alien Resurrection&#039;, but if it winds up being a film that takes place before the first &#039;Alien&#039;? &lt;strong&gt; That&#039;s even better&lt;/strong&gt;. Not that I wouldn&#039;t want to see Ms. Weaver back. Heck, I&#039;m just as jelled to see Wynona Ryder back this summer (even it is a small role in &#039;Star Trek&#039;) It&#039;s just that &lt;em&gt; they want to reboot Predator too&lt;/em&gt;. Thus, &lt;em&gt; Alien 5&lt;/em&gt; being a &quot;prequel&quot; can effectively flip the middle finger at the AvP movies.
The AvP films are now retconned and/or continuity have never existed. 

Rejoice! Celebration! Drink and be merry!
Good riddance!

-&quot;Daredevil&quot;
Even if they continued from the 2003 film and the 2005 spinoff Elektra, they&#039;d have to replace a good chunk of the cast. Ben Affleck has sworn it off, Jon Faverau (Foggy) directs other Marvel characters now, without Ben, Jen Garner won&#039;t be back as Elektra I&#039;m guessing (and the events from Elektra mess might have to be explained) and Colin Farrell...? Who knows. Maybe pull a 007 and keep a few of the character actors  (be it Leland Orser, Micheal Clarke Duncan or Joey Pants) but that&#039;s about it. (&lt;em&gt;* I mention actor Orser because I always wanted to see a DD sequel in which we really find out why Fisk keeps that &quot;un-Bronxed&quot; stooge around-he&#039;s a sociopathic enforcer/Keyser Soze type or Mr.Purple in disguise!&lt;/em&gt;) 

But I&#039;d be fine with a restart. If Fox gave the rights back to Marvel, What Would Marvel Do? Restart it, right? More than likely.

- Fantastic Four restart/reboot

No mention. Hmmm...this means (to me) one of three things:

1) There will be a Fantastic Four 3, maybe recast a little but without Tim Story regardless.

2) *my view* Forget the FF and go for Silver Surfer film. Same &quot;universe&quot; thus FF can&#039;t be restarted, because &quot;Surfer&quot; continues the &quot;old FF continuity&quot;, and that could confuse people. 

3) Rothman caves and is planning/considering &lt;em&gt;giving up&lt;/em&gt; THe Fantasic Four and/or The Silver Surfer and &lt;em&gt; giving the rights back to Marvel, using Fox as a distributor only&lt;/em&gt;

-&quot;Avatar&quot;

EVENT film.
EVENT film.
WE haven&#039;t seem much from this yet in promo, but now that FOX has promised ComicCon, *this* *this* *this* is the presentation/panel to see. Big, big,big. I know some folks despised Cameron&#039;s film some 10 years ago, but Titanic, love it or hate it, huge box office numbers, Oscars up the butt and it will be great just to see James Cameron&#039;s first narrative (non doc) film since all that.

-Wolverine

See the comments about the stingers from earlier. But this better be a huge cash whore, coming in above or at expectations. Otherwise that could have a ripple effect (I still think we would at least get an X-Men First Class or a direct follow up to Last Stand regardless)</description>

		<description>There is already a Batman movie out there where Batman faces the Joker.  This is clearly not a sequel nor does it attempt to be in any sort of canon with the Burton/Schumaker films.

Its a remake in that the story is already done, and they did it again.  I did say &quot;of a different kind&quot;

But they remade the entire Batman franchise and its nothing but praise.  

People always cry wolf on the Remake/Reboot, but in a lot of ways they can be better than the original.</description>
