Well, one idea would be to show their actual homework, and explain how the fuck something like these things evolved and what kind of ecosystem they lived in...

...but then Covenant happened.

>>82980782
Give them culture and star an interstellar war over earth's planetary resources.

make the "alien" an unseen character
have like a colony on a planet thats been there a little while
focus on a couple and their relationship problems
the person one of them is cheating with dissapears one day while on walkabout
make it look like the jealous one did it
more people state going missing or are found dead
toss in some jump scares
oh yeah, one of the couple is schizo
they are the only one that glimps the monster
in the end the scared lover runs away from the one thats been seeing the monster
it ends with them alone with the alien lurking in the shadows coming for them

>>82981367
I was going to say this was stupid, but actually if done PERFECTY it would probably be pretty good. Perhaps more then one hint of the monster.

Alternate premise is the same thing, but set in the past, like the Middle ages or early america, where you aren't sure what the monster is, and then fuck, you realize its a stray egg that landed on earth.

2 movies was enough.

Hear this: An alien movie set on an Engineer's Dyson Sphere full of genetic abominations.

>>82980782
Retcon Covenant as a bad dream Shaw has in stasis and expand on the Engineers and life presented in Prometheus, the superior film.

I'd just make a live action version of Alien Isolation and amp up the horror aspect

>>82981717
What would need to be amped up? Seems like theres more then enough horror between the androids and the alien

.>>82981667
At a certain point, size just becomes funny. They could spend lifetimes walking and never explore a more then a fraction of something this size

Why not take it to its inevitable conclusion? Aliens reach earth. And little by little they consume humanity in its entirety wiping us out. Story takes place near the end of the process, but there's a catch there's so much genetic overlap from using humans for their breeding that the aliens start to change and develop beyond being wild beasts. Story is narrated by an unknown female about the drama and anguish of humanity, offering a platform to critique whatever the director wants -greed lets say-, only to be revealed at the end to a "civilized" alien queen. You can even use that to tie it in to suggest humans are such a terrible creature that it's only natural they are the next stage of humanity, if you buy into the whole covenant thing.

the aliens fly a space ship to earth and kill everyone on the planet and then find a time machine and travel back 500 million years and kill all the dinosaurs so none of them can evolve into monkeys and then men and there are no more alien movies because the time traveling aliens negate any prequels too

a pit full of facehuggers
engineers invade earth
domesticated xenomorphs
android living in a xenomorph hive
xenomorph dragon
deep sea alien
alien sharks
planet hugger
xenomorph android
face hugger hugs a xenomorph

>>82980782
Xenomorphs actually weaponized and used by human factions to fight each other.
In space.

Make a movie out of that comic where the aliens are clever enough to treat humans as livestock, instead of just killing them all until they run out of people.

>>82981259
That's literally what Covenant was about you fucking faggot.

>>82981492
there was a comic of vikings vs xenomorph

>>82980782
Don't go away from the whole retraded "DUDE THEY'RE BEES LMAO" and make them perfect humans again.

some scientists in Antarctica find a derelict spaceship that has been buried in ice for 100,000 years, they bring back the corpse of an alien and it reanimates but it can take the shape of anything it attacks and eats
then there is intrigue over which members of the scientific outpost are alien lifeforms or not

>>82982068
>>82982116

>>82982013
Covenant shows that they did not evolve, but where engineered, meaning that their aren't interesting environmental pressures that produced them, just some serious sexual frustrations on behalf of a gay robot (which, in retrospect, does explain some things)

34KB, 1000x870px

A teenage girl dressed in geek-chic attire gets a text from an unknown number telling her about a mysterious app for her Apple iPhone 7 Plus, an app titled: ALIEN
She downlaods it, but the app seems to do nothing, so she tells her African American boyfriend that it is an epic fail, and she deletes it.
As she sleeps that night, her phone begins shaking and letting out small bursts of electricity. She awakes that morning and finds to her horror that all her selfies on all her social media accounts have been edited to show a blurry facehugger covering her face. She quickly deletes the photos, unnerved.
She meets up at Chipotle with her non-gender-binary hacktivist friend, who tells her that zhe can't see anything wrong with her phone, but user zer skills to reset it to factory settings just in case.
All seems well for awhile, until she notices that the ALIEN app has redownloaded itself on her phone. She's horrified, but she shakily taps the app. Her phone screen splinters and makes her bleed. She drops it and remarks out loud that it seems to be drinking her blood through its headphone port, but then whispers with realized horror that the Apple iPhone 7 Plus took the brave and admirable step in eliminating the headphone port. That hole is new!
The phone finishes drinking in the blood and begins to transform. The protagonist watches in terror as it takes the form of a small xenomorph, with the touchscreen being in place of the typical shiny black headplate. The screen-head displays a Thinking-Face emoji as it takes in its surroundings. Once it spots the main character, a skull emoji flashes, followed by the Rage Face meme, and the xenomorph lunges at the her. Gunshot, cut to black.

This xenomorph, dubbed the eNomorph later in this film by the hacktivist, is the true first of their species, with the main character's blood being the genetic template all of the aliens use in the future films. And that main character's name? Shoshana Ridely, the ancestor of Ellen Ridley.

theres a mining outpost and theres a big problem with some synthetic drug that the miners have been taking and getting addicted to and freaking out on and dying

a new tough sheriff is assigned to the outpost and he cleans up all the drugs and takes out the boss of the miners who was facilitating the drug smuggling

>>82980782

What a waste

Alien gets time-travel'ed into today's earth

>>82982558
>Shoshana Ridely, the ancestor of Ellen Ridley.
well done.

theres a spaceship owned by wayland yutani out in space and they get a distress signal
they land on a strange planet and someone in the crew gets infected by a xenomorph
they fly back into outer space and the xenomorph starts killing the crew
they have an android (he has an english accent) that is supposed to be something that helps them fly in space but he's really bad and helps the xenomorph kill most of the crew
the last surviving member of the crew blasts the alien out of the airlock at the end into outerspace

>>82982666
That's a pretty good idea, probably even better at connecting with modern teen audiences than the mysterious text idea. Texting is so passé, not for the win at all. Facebook is quite lit, still!

>>82980782

Everyone was memeing Danny McFucking Bride but he was the most likeable and real character. Even Daniel's rang hollow. She was giving the dead girlfriend motivation like comic book hero's get.

I care about the crew of the nostromo I even care about the Marines from the sluco.

Example of worthless characters. When the fags boyfriend dies from the face burster he embraces him as a lost partner but NO WHERE in the movie are they shown as a couple. It makes the scene of him crying over his dead cock holster fucking meaningless and contrived.

Ripley and the Engineers team up to stop David 8 from getting his creation onto Earth.

However David 8 has a last ditch plan; he sends a single egg-ship through a nearby space-time wormhole and it crash lands on Earth during medieval times.

The wormhole effects facehugger DNA so they lose the ability to create Xenos with talons/tails. Instead they have stumpy-grips like lego men do.

A small farm, near to the crashed ship, gets quickly impregnated and creates the first xenos. The next part of the film is a silent B&W montage of the xenos learning how to wield primitive weapons (axes/spades/brooms), which they use to take over a nearby castle for more impregnation.

Castle generation of new xenos surpasses the previous training, with an even longer montage of their own - the noble art of swordsmanship.

The final act is battalions of sword-wielding xenos, indirectly claiming the Holy Land by wiping out all Crusaders and Islamic inhabitants, extending the hive even further.

The film ends with newest xeno queen looking up into the sky, she sees a Predator ship hovering above them and hisses "so glad you could drop by".

Basically Aliens with way more action.

Alien+Aliens combo is amazing.

The first movie is a masterpiece of its own but the second one adds more to the premise in every way. It also mutates the genre from a scifi horror thriller and adds straight up action to it.

To "fix" the Alien franchise ignore every other Alien movie and go from there.

I'd personally take the best ideas out of all the sequels.

So the movie would be about a specialized android (David basically) sanctioned by W-Y to LV-426 to investigate if any trace remains of the xenos. He throughout the movie listens to and is influenced by tapes of Ripley that are explaining the incident.

On LV-426 he finds the destroyed remains of the derelict (parts of it survived) and managed to salvage enough of it to plot a course to the planet where the derelict came from.

Eventually he reaches the world of the Engineers and finds it in ruins, ages ago overcome by the xenomorphs. At this point in a twist it is revealed his ship had the cryo pods of Ripley, Hicks and the kid retrieved and preserved. He goes rampant and decides to use the trace DNA of the engineers and the xenos to give W-Y something to work with but he makes a mistake of unfreezing Ripley to get more info out of her and she shuts his ass down.

Basically parts of the David arc from these new movies but a bit fast-forwarded and mixed with the conclusion of Ripley's arc.
