a couple more "alien" related note-worthy things:
Alien 5 is in the screenwritting stage
and
Alien 6 is in the talking stage of potential plot stuff
(i hope they don't completely annialate the storyline & legacy!) I have to say though, that i'm extremly anxious to see what they do with "Alien 5" because its sposed to take place on earth, and if you saw at the end of "#4", there was an alien left on the plane before they entered earths' atmosphere ...
"Alien Versus Predator" is filming, due to be released 08-06-04
