Subject: 20th Century Fox shuts down Alien tribute film

Written By: Philip Eno on 07/17/15 at 11:09 am

20th Century Fox has issued a cease and desist letter to the makers of an Alien fan film, ending the project.

Alien Identity was due to star Carrie Henn, who played Rebecca "Newt" Jorden in James Cameron's 1986 sequel Aliens.

The film would have seen Newt saved from her grisly fate at the start of Alien 3 and sent off on a new sci-fi adventure, 14 years after the events of Aliens.

But Fox has decided to shut the film down.

"The fact of the matter is we got too much press and too much attention," said its director, Adam Sonnet, in a YouTube video.

A statement on the film's website added: "We understand that this is Fox's intellectual property and we want to respect their wishes.

"Therefore we peacefully withdraw from any further production of Alien Identity."

Sonnet said he would now pursue a new project, called Triborn.

I guess Alien fans were really excited with the new movie that 20th Century Fox had no choice. Thanks YouTube for canceling the movie.
