nicky Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I couldn't attend the con but was keen to know what questions were asked and what they talked about. Did Sigourney talk about Neil Blomkamp's Alien 5 or the Avatar sequels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotor1999 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Nothing on Avatar, but she confirmed that the new Alien movie is 100% going ahead, with ridley Scott producing and Neil blomkamp directing of course. Massive cheer from the audience at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Cool. Anything else? Is Hicks in in Alien 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBenoit Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 She couldn't talk specifics other than to say that she thought the script was fantastic and that Neil is the best person to be doing the film. Filled me with confidence at least! The talk was brilliant. Lots of funny stories about the making of Aliens. Sigourney, Bill and Carrie were all great fun and it was very relaxed. Plus stage 2 is ALOT more comfortable that the super stage! But trying to get back downstairs afterwards? Forget about it......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomeroSavini Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Great stuff. Bill ruled the show for me, he was like the dad, the funny dad at that. Gladly only 3 of the actors on stage was the way to go, that gave each time to speak. It gets a bit much once you pass three guests. Bill forgetting the Express elivator to Hell line was fun! He must have said it thousands of times haha One minor grumble was the camera rules. I agree letting people get their shots in at the beginning is a great idea. Go crazy! After a few minutes everyone supposed to stop shooting with camera and phones. Sadly many never listened to the instructions and I had a guy next to me hammering away with a loud and very Irratating camera! Behind me another fool who hadnt turned off the beep everytime they took a snap! Beep beep beep over and over. Flashing away as well! They specifically said NO VIDEOS!But someone in front of me was pretty much videoing the entire thing on their phone! These people needed telling off and tossed out. Hopefully the rules are enforced next time as it ruins events such as the wonderful Aliens talk. I want to watch the actors on the stage, not be blinded by someones ignorant phone screen videoing the event. But this is the people who pay doing these stupid things, shows you how many manners some have. Me me me mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar6662 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 They specifically said NO VIDEOS!But someone in front of me was pretty much videoing the entire thing on their phone! Problem is they don't have people looking out for this kind of thing but also why didn't you say anything? Clearly you agree with the rules, as do I but if it's not pointed out how will it stop?

RomeroSavini Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I was sure staff could see them around me doing things, the Sigourney security guard noticed I am sure of that as well as he stared at them long enough. I have sadly learned not to say a word, as I have had things done to me for doing so in the past. Not nice things as some people are unhinged haha Staff could easily see it in my humble opinion, but I saw many people taking videos, none were stopped. One guy stood againat the wall and videod for ages and was told to take a seat by a staff member, he continued to video. Sorry took it off topic haha I loved the Aliens talk :-) but other people do act silly at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only_jay Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Decided against buying it as my schedule was pretty full already but would have loved to have gone to it! Glad a lot of people enjoyed it though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzlerjames Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm pretty sure that I said if you saw anyone in front of you filming then punch them in the back of the head! Seriously though - do make us aware of it as it will end up stopping talks completely. I went up into the balcony area and noticed one which was stopped, must have missed the one you mentioned, some people are very sneaky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Effect Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hearing Bill Paxton say 'We're on an express elevator to hell, go-ing down!' was worth a million bucks What about him saying Newt's line? "they mostly come at night...mostly", and Carrie Henn's scream at the end! Really enjoyed the talk and wish it was longer. Only gripe would be the lights being turned down in the whole auditorium with no extra lighting on stage. Even Sigourney said she couldn't see the audience when questions were being asked.

I did stop a couple of people who I could see filming but with the dim lights, running around with the mic, stopping people from coming in when they shouldn't be and being nervous as hell because I was in the same room as Sigourney Weaver (oh my god) I didn't see all of them. I promise I was not turning a blind eye! If you see someone doing it again maybe discreetly get a crew members attention without the person realizing. We should create a secret hand signal or some thing haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
