HOBO!

Last month, Nova Scotia director Jason Eisener started shooting the feature-length version of his Grindhouse trailer Hobo With a Shotgun. A vigilante homeless man pulls into a new city and finds himself trapped in urban chaos, a city where crime rules and where the city’s crime boss reigns. Seeing an urban landscape filled with armed robbers, corrupt cops, abused prostitutes and even a pedophile Santa, the Hobo goes about bringing justice to the city the best way he knows how - with a 20-gauge shotgun. Mayhem ensues when he tries to make things better for the future generation. Street justice will indeed prevail at the hands of Rutger "Roy Batty" Hauer

Ridley Scott Tells Us What This 'Alien' Prequel Is All About

alien-resurrection-ripley.jpg

What's going on with that ol' Alien prequel? Here's what: Speaking recently to MTV, Ridley Scott elaborated on how he'll probably further dilute the franchise with an explanation for that beautifully cryptic hole-in-his-chest alien guy from the first film:

Scott: [The prequel is] set in 2085, about 30 years before Sigourney [Weaver's character Ellen Ripley]. It's fundamentally about going out to find out 'Who the hell was that Space Jockey?' The guy who was sitting in the chair in the alien vehicle — there was a giant fellow sitting in a seat on what looked to be either a piece of technology or an astronomer's chair. Remember that?

... I'm basically explaining who that Space Jockey — we call him the Space Jockey— I'm explaining who the space jockeys were.

MTV: And is the Weyland-Yutani company in existence at this point?

Scott: It's Weyland. Weyland hasn't joined Yutani yet, so they go and see Weyland. [The film] is about the discussion of terraforming — taking planets and planetoids and balls of earth and trying to terraform, seed them with the possibilities of future life.

I'm horribly intrigued, yet annoyed this is going to destroy all the mystery surrounding the "Space Jockey." This is totally going to discredit all the erotic fan fiction that's been written about Tom Skerritt surreptitiously going down there and fucking the hole in his chest.
