Just read in SCI-FI Now magazine that this is going to be a prequel to Alien. Fox is bound to mess this one up no matter what they do, and since Stan Winston is dead I'm very pessimistic on it. Probably gonna watch it once and forget about it the same way with both AvP movies. I very much rather they semi re-boot the Alien franchise, wish they would set an alternate timeline where an Alternate "Alien 3" happens where Hicks+Ripley survives like in the Dark Horse comics series. Just to deliver Justice to the fans after how majority of everyone was upset over the Tragic Ending path they originally went with Ripley, and then the whole concept of bringing her back through Cloning, trying to make her some sort of futuristic Female version of 'Jesus Christ'. I wished they had used the William Gibson script in the first place for Alien 3 despite Ripley wasn't really the lead role. Either all of the above or Fox decides to produce another standalone Predator film(a Predator 3;prequel/sequel/whatever) instead of a third AvP(unless it has nothing to do with AvP and AvP-R) Matter of fact, I rather they give us an update on the progress of a Third AvP PC game, and hopefully it'll be available on the current gen consoles.

I stand by my idea for saving hicks. Have some people sneak onboard the sulaco, switch his cryo tube for a fake, and impale the safety beam through the fakes head, just like in A3, in order to conceal that its a different person. Also can be used to explain the EEV crash and why egg/s where on the sulaco

Also can be used to explain the EEV crash and why egg/s where on the sulaco If they want to maintain the canon and such I guess that could work. A Black Ops / Covert Ops type thing was mentioned in the Gibson script which took place at beginning. Although I don't know if Michael Biehn would be willing to play Hicks again, but having Hicks as the lead and re-booting the storyline from there could help. Now as for Ripley that will all depend on Ms. Weaver, although she seems optimistic all of a sudden because of all the new reboots and sequels. Many people were hoping Alien 3 to be a dream so they could still have Ripley as the lead and such and such. Technically she wasn't really a lead in Alien Resurrection, Call was IMHO. Although I very much thought the idea of Alien + Human DNA being mixed as an interesting and deadly combination, but cloning Ripley just for that? C'mon! They could have done better. If they make AvP3 movie canonical as a prequel to Alien I'd be pretty upset. But if it's set after Alien 3, and with Hicks back in the storyline with similar concepts above, (and also if possible ignore both of the 2 AvP films currently "rushed" out) then I would guess Fox wins this one likely.... Meaning I'm actually going to say and think- finally, they actually gave a damn about the original hardcore fans like you and I. Any other case AvP 3 is another quick cash in that fails to really serve any other purpose other than to fill up Fox's wallets, and make then more $$$.

I had the idea fleshed out further, the story would be after A3, before AR, they stole hicks away to lead a crew attacking a weyland-yutani outpost which is protected by an alien hive, they wanted hicks cause of his experience. Hicks has a small explosive implant in the base of his skull that will detonate if he disobeys the kidnappers. I figure the kidnappers are kinda an anti-corporation rebel group, thats fallen so far they've become as bad or worse than what they hate. Once inside the facility, Hicks eventually runs across Morse trapped in a cell.
I figure Morse and Hicks would be a good parallel, hicks representing the "light" and discipline, while Morse is "dark" and erratic. Figured it would end with Morse and Hicks on the run in stolen ship, with some other crew or something, they become kinda black market type smugglers to survive 'off the grid".
I'd say this could be set like 15 years after A3, so the Morse actor is aged right. Hicks would have makeup for acid scarring anyways, so Biehn's age is less of an issue. Plus it gives time for WY to acquire aliens for the facility.
Toss in references to the facility back story, like a controlled hive got loose to the surface, and WY decide to let em stay wild, and observe them that way, with the added security bonus.

Just read in SCI-FI Now magazine that this is going to be a prequel to Alien. Normally my first response to this would be the same as: But it actually shows promise. Maybe they'll explain exactly what/why the "company" knows about the Alien in the first movie. But judging from AvP1&2, it's most likely going to be rediculously unbelievable and suck horribly.
