Bruce Is Back In Space

Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo star in the new epic sci-fi adventure set in the year 2524, four hundred years after humans started colonizing the outer planets.

Retired Military General James Ford (Willis) is called back into service after soldiers on a remote planet are attacked by a hostile alien fleet.

The threat against the human race escalates into an inevitable interstellar war. General Ford teams up with

General Eron Ryle (Grillo) and a team of elite soldiers in a race to stop the imminent attack before it is too late.

Not to be mistaken for Breach (although easily done as that was written by the co-writer of this), Cosmic Sin is due for a digital release on March 12.

Seemingly a bit too pulpy to fit with the Aliens oeuvre, and obviously the timeline doesn't fit at all, I share this trailer mainly for its seeming overlap with Breach (including the vague Asylum 'mockbuster' vibes).

Could Korean Sc-Fi Space Sweepers Fit In The Alien 'Verse?

Set in the year 2092 and follows the crew of a space junk collector ship called The Victory. When they discover a humanoid robot named Dorothy that's known to be a weapon of mass destruction, they get involved in a risky business deal.

2092 was the year Ellen Ripley was born and a year before the Prometheus disaster, so Space Sweepers - based on this trailer alone - could fit in your Alien 'verse headcanon.

Guess we'll see when the Korean sci-fi drops on Netflix on February 5.

Xenomorphs and Laser Swords - China's Variant Knows Its Target Audience!

Bloody Disgusting has this breakdown of Variant's wild plot:

“It was told that Jamie, who was born in space, followed his parents in search of an unknown creature in the universe.

“After a long period of searching, the unknown creature was finally captured by the crew of the Thunder and named “Baal”. Under the lure of Baal, the young Jamie released it.

“Baal” who escaped from the experimental tank killed all the crew and Jamie’s parents, and the young Jamie escaped back to Earth in an escape capsule alone.

“Twenty years later, a variant of “Baal” has now appeared on earth. Jamie must save mankind and find self-redemption.”

"Yippee-ki-yay, Alien Monster!"

 

Fleeing a devastating plague on Earth, an interstellar ark comes under attack from a new threat; a shape-shifting alien force intent on slaughtering what is left of humanity.

On the cusp of fatherhood, a junior mechanic aboard an interstellar ark to New Earth must outwit a malevolent cosmic terror intent on using the spaceship as a weapon.

I don't know if it's the colour palette in use, the lens flares, or the CGI-looking backgrounds (even if they're practical), but there's a whiff of an Asylum mockbuster about Breach that I can't believe it truly warrants.  

Formerly known as Anti-Life, the film, starring Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane, is scheduled for release in the States, in cinemas and on digital, on December 18.
